Peter Pomerantsev (* 1977 in Kiev ) is a British journalist, author and television producer.

Career

He was born in the Soviet Union. His father is the writer Igor Pomerantsev . At the age of 10 months, he moved to Vienna with his parents in 1978 , after which they applied for asylum in Germany. The family later moved to West London , where he spent his youth, and for a short time to Munich . After studying English and German at Edinburgh University , he moved to Russia in 2001 and spent nine years there on the television channel TNT . From November 2010 he was back in London.

Since 2013 he has been writing critical background reports, commentaries and analyzes on the cultural and political development of Russia for Newsweek , The Atlantic Monthly and other magazines. He coined the term “post-modern dictatorship” to characterize Vladimir Putin's system of government.

Pomerantsev also co-wrote a working paper with Edward Lucas on counter-strategies of Russian propaganda in Central and Eastern Europe. The paper was in partnership with the 2016 initiative information warfare of the Center for European Policy Analysis (CEPA) published.

Positions

In his experience, Pomerantsev portrayed the Russian population as divided, "hypnotized by a media hydra controlled by the Kremlin". In his work Nothing is true, he shows that Russia resembles a “dazzling reality TV show, lavishly staged by the government.” One of the main characters in the book is Vladislav Jurjewitsch Surkov .
