He built his career as a journalist and writer, work that eventually extended into editing. The reporting that would become Lenin's Tomb grew from his time as a correspondent immersed in the final years of a disintegrating empire, rendered in English with the detail and narrative weight that distinguishes long-form journalism at its most considered.\n\nBeyond the Pulitzer, Remnick has received the George Polk Award and the Medal of the Order of the Lithuanian Grand Duke Gediminas, as well as an honorary doctorate from Columbia University. His occupations have spanned writing, journalism, and editorial work, a range reflected in a career that has moved between the page and the institution. Columbia University's conferral of an honorary doctorate stands as one formal marker of the regard in which his contributions to American letters and journalism have been held.","Lenin's Tomb: The Last Days of the Soviet Empire, the book that earned David Remnick the Pulitzer Prize for General Nonfiction, is an account of the Soviet Union's collapse told through the reporting Remnick conducted on the ground.","david-remnick",null,[],{"quotes":15,"pagination":79},[16,24,30,36,43,49,55,61,67,73],{"id":17,"quote_text":18,"author_id":5,"source_id":19,"has_image":20,"author":21,"source":22,"quote_tag":23,"commentary":12},3630917,"I'm a civilian, a citizen.",7,false,{"id":5,"author_name":6,"slug":11,"author_name_first_letter":7,"article_count":8,"image_url":12},{},[],{"id":25,"quote_text":26,"author_id":5,"source_id":19,"has_image":20,"author":27,"source":28,"quote_tag":29,"commentary":12},3630905,"98% of the people who get the magazine say they read the cartoons first - and the other 2% are lying.",{"id":5,"author_name":6,"slug":11,"author_name_first_letter":7,"article_count":8,"image_url":12},{},[],{"id":31,"quote_text":32,"author_id":5,"source_id":19,"has_image":20,"author":33,"source":34,"quote_tag":35,"commentary":12},3630900,"Reform is not a period of retreat.",{"id":5,"author_name":6,"slug":11,"author_name_first_letter":7,"article_count":8,"image_url":12},{},[],{"id":37,"quote_text":38,"author_id":5,"source_id":39,"has_image":20,"author":40,"source":41,"quote_tag":42,"commentary":12},2970611,"Everybody has a cartoon of themselves.
