Summary of Peter Pomerantsev 's Nothing Is True and Everything Is Possible - E-book - ePub

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Money was poured into Moscow, and the city was transformed. The Russians were the new jet set, the richest, most energetic, and most dangerous. They had the most oil, the most beautiful women, and the best parties. #2 In Russia, working in television is not just about being a camera. In a country covering nine time zones, one-sixth of the world's land mass, stretching from the Pacific to the Baltic, from the Arctic to the Central Asian deserts, from near-medieval villages to single-factory towns, TV is the only force that can unify and rule and bind this country. #3 I worked with the TNT network, which is based in a new office building called Byzantium.
The network's logo was designed in blindingly bright, squealingly happy pinks, bright blues, and gold. Over the logo was written the network's catchphrase, Feel our Love! This was the new, desperately happy Russia, and this was the image of Russia TNT projected. #4 The network introduced the reality show to Russia, and it is now considered immoral by aging Communists. It has also pioneered the Russian sitcom and trashy talk show like Jerry Springer.
