Everyone Iran. Paradoxes of life in an autocracy under sanctions

Journalist and political analyst Nikita Smagin lived in Iran for several years and wrote this book. It is a story about a country whose government sees the root of the world's evil in the USA and arm themselves to the teeth to confront treacherous external enemies, ruthlessly persecuting dissenters within its borders, and places religious taboos above family values. But 'Everyone Iran' is also about people who know where to buy a new iPhone at a good price, go to underground clubs for raves, and will always pour tea from a samovar for an expensive guest (yes!). Bonus: a dictionary of strong expressions in Persian, without which it will be difficult to maintain a conversation about politics.
