Once upon a time, in the heart of the Soviet Union's final years, Pyotr Igorevich Pomerantsev was born into a family that would shape his destiny amidst the tumultuous landscape of post-Soviet Russia.

Fearing for their safety, the family fled to the West, seeking refuge in the vibrant streets of Munich, Germany, before finally settling in the eclectic city of London, where the BBC World Service provided sanctuary for Igor's talents.In the bustling cultural mosaic of London, Peter, as he came to be known, found his footing. Amidst the rich tapestry of his upbringing, with a father dedicated to truth and a mother who excelled in documentary production, Peter's passion for storytelling was ignited.
