Great book. Highly recommended. Pomerantsev is an engaging writer.
Another book with a similar theme is "Putin Country" by Anne Garrels. I haven't read it (yet) but it's received good reviews and is next on my list after I finish what I am currently reading.

I'm not really convinced about that. I recently read Putin Country from a journalist embedded in a region of Russia. I found it pretty insightful, and that was just from one journalist.
Now imagine what our entire CIA has on the general population in Russia. And imagine what Russia has on the US when we have a pretty open society that shares everything about themselves online.
I don't want to rule out that the Russian propaganda campaign received help with targeting. You might be entirely correct! I just don't want to take it as a foregone conclusion, whether the efforts were to boost Trump support or to suppress Clinton support.
Just heard about this on NPR... Putin Country
