Book Friends ForeverNothing Is True and Everything Is Possible by Peter Pomerantsev Read by John CurlessA journey into the glittering, surreal heart of twenty-first century Russia, where even dictatorship is a reality show
“A gripping and unsettling account.” —Washington Post
Professional killers with the souls of artists, would-be theater directors turned Kremlin puppet-masters, suicidal supermodels, Hell’s Angels who hallucinate themselves as holy warriors, and oligarch revolutionaries: welcome to the wild and bizarre heart of twenty-first-century Russia. It is a world erupting with new money and new power, changing so fast it breaks all sense of reality, home to a form of dictatorship-far subtler than twentieth-century strains-that is rapidly rising to challenge the West.

In RealityOne Way To Win An Information War with The Autocracy Expert Peter PomerantsevIn our free-for-all information ecosystem, the liars have the inside track. It’s much easier to make up outrageous claims about, say, migrants than it is to send reporters into the field and check facts.

risk of eroding trust in your credibility and undermining your cause.
However, there is a role for so-called Black disinformation in wartime.
This deliberate dissemination of false or misleading information can be
highly effective as part of a military operation. Information campaigns
with the intent to deceive, manipulate, or undermine an adversary during
warfare or conflicts is a tactic used to gain strategic advantages by
sowing confusion and destabilizing the enemy. Classic examples of this

They don't believe in communication between people because they don't think people are capable of analyzing and making decisions. They see people as a passive mass that can be manipulated. And in a sense, that means that they invest a lot of money in information warfare, but maybe that's their Achilles' heel. So I think that the fact that Russian propaganda is so concerned with information is its strength, but also its flaw."In the new episode of the "(Un)Safe Country" podcast, its irreplaceable host Alina...

The ArgumentPutin Is ‘High Off His Own Propaganda Supply’This week, an antiwar protester interrupted a Moscow broadcast with a sign in Russian reading: “Stop the war. Don’t believe the propaganda. They are lying to you here.” With the Russian government promoting propaganda on news channels and most recently passing a law to punish people spreading “false information” about the Ukraine invasion, it’s been hard to distill what is actually going on in both Russia and Ukraine right now. The confusion has resulted in what Masha Gessen recently described as parallel realities transpiring in Russia and an outright denial of war in Ukraine.So how can you...

None Of The AboveBig Daddy Moscow: Nataliya Gumenyuk and Peter Pomerantsev Get Inside Putin's MindThis episode contains explicit language. On Monday, Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered troops into eastern Ukraine. This follows months of tensions precipitated by Russia's mobilization of its military on the Ukrainian border. Putin's order came shortly after a gruff speech in which he accused Ukraine of rejecting its historical links to Russia and asserted the independence of two breakaway regions — the self-declared People's Republics of Donetsk and Luhansk. In the week before the Kremlin's orders, the Eurasia Group Foundation's Mark Hannah spoke with journalists Nataliya Gumenyuk and Peter Pomerantsev, who help us better understand the history behind today's crisis, Ukraine's pe...

PolCast'We live in a new type of censorship'Peter Pomerantsev, Péter Krekó and Dorka Takácsy discussed the perspectives of liberal democracies in the post-truth age, the possible countering of large-scale disinformation, and whether there is a return from cynicism.
’If you take away the ideal of facts and objective reality and evidence from the political discourse, all your left with is just kind of fear, emotions and kind of a weird dark world where you need a strong man to guide you through’ summed up Peter Pomerantsev the motivation of autoritarian forces behind the disinformation architecture.

In this podcast with New Lines Magazine's Faisal Al Yafai and Idrees Ahmad, he discusses “Memory Wars”, the attempt to rewrite history to fit current political objectives, why that attempt is as relevant in Ukraine and Russia as it is in Syria and the United States, where he stands on the removal of statues – and why Russia seeks to manipulate sensitive topics like race in America.

Start Worrying Details To Follow"Politics has been turned into a carneval" - Peter PomerantsevIn the wake of Brexit and the Trumpian tragedy, Peter Pomerantsev of the London School of Economics talks about the transgressive energy in political characters like Trump, an energy that used to be located on the left, since the 1960s, and is now claimed by the right. This has drastic consequences for democracy in an age of a constant information overload due to the digital technologies: If everybody is presumed to be lying, people turn to the one that is most fun to listen to. The digital tools have become a danger for democracy.
