Book Summary —

In Resurrection, Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist David Remnick captures the turbulent birth of post-Soviet Russia with vivid reporting and deeply human storytelling. Beginning with the dissolution of the USSR and unfolding through pivotal events—such as the 1993 siege of Parliament, the chaotic elections of 1996, and the devastating war in Chechnya—Remnick paints a society in flammable transition. He illustrates a nation caught between liberation and instability, where citizens grapple daily with identity, belonging, and aspirations. Across the narrative, familiar faces emerge in sharper relief: a humbled yet bewildered Mikhail Gorbachev, the eccentric Vladimir Zhirinovsky, and a wobbly, opportunistic Boris Yeltsin who refuses to relinquish power.

Packed with nuanced portraits—from media magnates to dissident writers—Remnick also chronicles the rise of oligarchic wealth, the decay of free press, and the explosion of inequality in a Russia eager to recast itself. His prose, infused with sharp insight and occasional optimism, invites comparison to the great reportage of Orwell and Herr, as he draws readers into a dramatic and uncertain historical moment
