Peter Pomerantsev was a "reality TV" producer for the Russian TV industry. He understands the power of images, yet his book has no images.
I find it strange that he should devote so much space to discussing the story of supermodel Ruslana Korshunova, yet not show her Nina Ricci billboard which was still visible in Moscow years after her tragic death. Apparently, her billboard embodied the aspirations of many citizens of the New Russia.
I would still rate Peter Pomerantsev's book at 4.0 stars because he provides valuable insight into the power elite of the New Russia and their hangers-on. This book would have been significantly better with images of the New Russia.
