culture, art, literature, society, society, awards, Golden Delvig
For every author who has risked publishing his book and presenting it to readers, it is incredibly important to hear the opinion of not only ordinary people, but also experts who will be able to competently and accurately determine its value. That is why participation in competitions and awards is always an event. It not only awakens the competitive spirit, but also causes emotional excitement. After all, you want to not only win, but also win deservedly.
One of the most prestigious domestic literary awards is the Golden Delvig Prize. It was founded in 2012 and is awarded annually in January - on the day of the founding of Literary Newspaper by Alexander Pushkin and Anton Delvig. A memorable event took place back in 1830. The goal that the organizers set for themselves is wonderful and deserves support and respect. By founding the award, they dreamed of achieving professional recognition and support for writers whose books and publications continue and enhance the best traditions and values of classical Russian, multinational Soviet and Russian literature, demonstrate a high level of excellence, preserve and develop the Russian literary language, and fully and uniquely reflect the processes taking place in society, contribute to the strengthening and prosperity of the Fatherland.
In 2017, a book by our regular author Nina Pavlovna Gavrikova was nominated for the Golden Delvig award. A collection of her stories, “Echoes of Memory,” will appear before strict judges. The book is written at the intersection of two genres - memoirs and historical story. All the events mentioned on the pages actually took place and happened to the author’s relatives and friends. The reader will be transported to the beginning of the last century and step by step will experience this difficult century, which should forever remain in the memory of posterity. The writer very accurately conveys the atmosphere of the time, reflects the life and traditions of the people, draws the characters of the characters, shows their way of life and thinking. The heroism that our fathers, grandfathers and great-grandfathers performed both in everyday life and on the battlefield deserves admiration, which Nina Pavlovna demonstrates with every word. The pages of this wonderful collection are filled with deep love, sincere respect and recognition, which will most likely be appreciated by experienced experts.
The publishing house "Union of Writers" wishes Nina Pavlovna victory. We sincerely hope that in the future this brilliant writer will experience exceptional creative success, bright moments and grateful readers who will be imbued with her works and understand the innermost essence that she is trying to convey to them.
The Anton Delvig Prize is “very forward-looking: we cover all major genres of literature, including criticism, children’s literature, and so on, unlike other awards that focus on novels or poetic form, editor-in-chief of Literaturnaya Gazeta Yuri Polyakov told the newspaper VZGLYAD.
Let us remind you that in Pushkin Museum On March 23, the literary award “For Fidelity to the Word and the Fatherland” took place, named after one of the poets of Pushkin’s galaxy, Anton Delvig. In addition to the medal and diploma, the laureates also received a cash prize. This year’s bonus fund includes 11 “Golden Delvigs” of 200 thousand rubles each and two “Young Delvig” awards of 100 thousand rubles each, the Tsargrad portal noted.
As the chairman of the jury, Yuri Polyakov, explained to the newspaper VZGLYAD, among young authors there are cases when a person has a bright debut, however, subsequently, hopes for it are not justified. “Therefore, the Golden Delvig award highlights established writers, and for young writers there is a special, so to speak, division of the Young Delvig award,” the interlocutor noted. In his opinion, this approach is “more organic for literature.”
At the same time, Polyakov noted that “the writers received the prize different generations And different directions" Among the laureates, for example, is the oldest Orthodox philosopher and publicist Viktor Trostnikov. At the award ceremony, the 87-year-old author noted: “Once upon a time, I read in the Gospel: “Seek the Kingdom of Heaven,” do not think about food, drink and clothing. Years later, I understood what Jesus meant - we must find our place in the Kingdom of Heaven. My search is outlined in my last book"Thoughts before sunset." When I wrote it, I did not think about food, drink and clothing. They gave me a bonus - now I can buy all this.”
Another representative of the older generation, winner of the award, is the poet and playwright Konstantin Skvortsov. In addition, the Yakut poetess Natalya Kharlampieva was among the laureates. “We definitely have a laureate who writes in his native language. Because our other central awards forget that literature in Russia is written not only in Russian,” Polyakov noted. He added that the winner of the prize was also a Siberian writer, a successor to the traditions of Astafiev and Rasputin - Anatoly Bayborodin.
In addition, the jury tries to ensure that among the laureates there is major writer- a representative of one of the states that were previously part of Soviet Union: “This time it was the Azerbaijani prose writer, working in the difficult genre of intellectual and allegorical prose, Abdulla Kamal,” Polyakov noted, recalling that a number of other writers also became laureates.
The award named after the first editor of Literaturnaya Gazeta, Anton Delvig, “For Loyalty to the Word and the Fatherland” was established as an annual Russian national award on October 1, 2012. The purpose of the award is professional recognition and support for writers whose books and publications continue and enhance the best traditions and values of classical Russian, multinational Soviet and Russian literature, demonstrate a high level of excellence, preserve and develop the Russian literary language, and fully and uniquely reflect the processes taking place in society , contribute to the strengthening and prosperity of the Fatherland.
Lidiya Sycheva won the Delvig Prize
A prestigious literary prize established by Literaturnaya Gazeta was awarded in Moscow. The award is named after Pushkin’s friend from the Tsarskoye Selo Lyceum, Anton Delvig - he was the first publisher of Literature, and the “sun of Russian poetry” actively collaborated with him.
We attended the ceremony where we saw a lot of celebrities. Thus, the prize was received, for example, by Alexander Prokhanov and Andrey Dementyev. Among the young people who are well-known is Sergei Shargunov. True, on the sidelines many guests judged and dressed up - for which the editor-in-chief received an award “ Literary Russia"? The guests, knowledgeable in Russian literature, were lost in riddles...
Vitaly Tretyakov and Nikolai Gubenko were seen at the ceremony (the latter was with his wife, the wonderful Zhanna Bolotova). Among the officials, Igor Slyunyaev honored the event. And, of course, Yuri Polyakov, the editor-in-chief of Literaturka, shone throughout the evening. They say that it is he who decides who to give this monetary award (its fund is 7 million rubles). The sponsor, by the way, is Rosneft.
At the award ceremony, our attention was attracted by the following laureates - the impressive Bakhytzhan Kanapyanov from Kazakhstan (he gave the shortest speech!), the brutal Yuri Belikov (he read the most striking poems) and the witty Lidiya Sycheva , who, when she was awarded, congratulated the jury on her excellent choice: “Don’t doubt it, you were not mistaken!”
We asked a writer from Voronezh to answer several questions.
Lydia, how are you feeling today?
Feelings of gratitude. I thank my village native land, which gives me strength to live. I thank my parents who gave me life. And I thank my teacher in literature, the outstanding Russian poet Valentin Vasilyevich Sorokin. He gave me spiritual light.
Tell us about the book for which you were given Delvig.
This is a collection of stories “Three Powers”, published by ITRK publishing house under the federal program “Culture”. I am glad that such readers as Lev Pirogov, Tatyana Shabaeva, Oleg Fenchuk noted my work. These are excellent critics, demanding and strict.
What are you writing about?
About modern life.
Well, then you should also write about the opposition movements on Bolotnaya Square.
This is also in the book.
Have you read the works of other laureates?
I know well the work of Anna Fedorets, a remarkably talented researcher.
I read a lot. If you are interested, I can name books that I think will be useful to everyone. Of course there are many of them...
Let's limit ourselves to three.
Please. “In its own way” by Zoya Prokopyeva, “Golden Flower-Odolen” by Vladilen Mashkovtsev, “Mountain Nest” by Mamin-Sibiryak.
The Delvig Award ceremony ended late in the evening with a grandiose buffet. The writers, laureates and guests did not leave for a long time. Toasts sounded, glasses of champagne clinked. Now it’s up to the reader: he is the main “jury” who will vote for the book with rubles.

“Golden Delvig”: emotions about the reaction of “colleagues”
Yesterday evening I attended the Anton Delvig Prize ceremony, held at the State Museum of A.S. Pushkin (not named after Pushkin, but Pushkin) on Prechistenka 12/2. Once upon a time it was a city noble estate Khrushchev-Seleznyov. And today - a newfangled phantasmagoria, in which parts old manor the top is covered with a glass vaulted ceiling, turning the courtyard into a vast hall.
Not everyone probably remembers why Delvig. Let me remind you: he was the first editor of the Literary Newspaper. Since school, we have become accustomed to recognizing A.S. Pushkin is the father of this publication. And from Soviet times I remember two profiles on the front page of the newspaper - A.S. Pushkin and M. Gorky. And no Delvig. However, if we take L.A. for example. Chareysky, then we will read from him: “Pushkin actively participated in Delvig’s publications “Northern Flowers” (1825-1831), “Snowdrop” (1829) and “Literary Newspaper” (1830) ...” But that’s just me, by the way, if anyone I didn’t understand.
“For loyalty to the word and the Fatherland” - this was the slogan of this entire event. I personally know half of this year’s laureates (some past laureates, whom I also know, were also present). In my opinion, not everyone is so loyal to the Fatherland. Yesterday I also saw those who don’t keep their word (what kind of fidelity to a word can we talk about). But I attributed these annoying individual facts to the desire of the organizers to be, so to speak, moderately politically correct and tolerant. The desire to look respectable in the eyes of the, so to speak, liberal wing of the domestic literary community took over. I remember well an old article by Yuri Polyakov, in which he, going on a plane to book fair to Paris, fantasizes: what if this plane falls and crashes; then an irreparable blow will be dealt to this very liberal sector. And only writers and poets, so to speak, of the patriotic wing will remain in the country. However, this dream was not destined to come true, and now in Russia everything is in charge and steered by the same wing that was 99 percent represented in the aircraft described by Polyakov.
I discovered this fact today when, wanting to clarify the names of all the laureates I saw yesterday, I went to the Literaturnaya Gazeta website. I was amazed. No, not names. I heard them yesterday and saw the laureates themselves. Everything is fine here. I was surprised by the comments at the bottom of the website page with the biographies of the laureates. IN best traditions of a free democratic and excessively liberal society, the owners of the site have opened up the opportunity for everyone to, how to say, express themselves... well...
What can I say about expressions? Russian liberals are not yet ready for freedom of speech, that’s what I’ll say. They simply set up a latrine from any decent place reserved for the expression of thoughts before they arrive. They are given the opportunity to express their thoughts, and they... are clearly doing something different there. Well, it’s not intelligence, honor and conscience, for sure.
