Vsem Iran by Nikita Smagin, Individuum
Всем Иран (Vsem Iran; “Iran For All”) is a non-fiction book by Nikita Smagin. The softcover was designed by me, Maxim Balabin, and published by Individuum.
About the book (translated):
In this revelatory and deeply human exploration, journalist and political analyst Nikita Smagin offers a rare insider’s perspective on a nation often misunderstood. Living in Iran for several years, Smagin pulls back the curtain on a country grappling with contradictions: a government that rails against Western influence while its citizens navigate an underground world of rave parties, contraband iPhones, and samovar-brewed hospitality.
With sharp political insight and intimate storytelling, “Iran For All” captures the tension between an authoritarian regime and the vibrant, resilient spirit of its people. This is not just a story of a nation—it’s a portrait of humanity, striving to thrive against the odds.
