Lidia Sycheva became the winner of the Delvig Prize
In Moscow, a prestigious literary award established by Literaturnaya Gazeta was presented. The award bears the name of Pushkin's friend Tsarskoye Selo Lyceum Anton Delvig - he was the first publisher of Literaturka, and the "sun of Russian poetry" actively collaborated with him.
We attended a ceremony where we saw many celebrities. So, the award was received, for example, by Alexander Prokhanov and Andrey Dementiev. Of the young people who are well known, Sergey Shargunov. True, on the sidelines, many guests judged, rowed - for which he received an award Chief Editor"Literary Russia"? The guests, versed 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). Of the officials, Igor Slyunyaev honored the event. And, of course, Yuri Polyakov, editor-in-chief of Literaturka, shone all 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 awards ceremony, our attention was drawn to the following laureates - the imposing Bakhytzhan Kanapyanov from Kazakhstan (he said the most short speech!), brutal Yuri Belikov (he read the most vivid poems) and witty Lydia Sycheva , who, when she was awarded, congratulated the jury on her excellent choice: “Do not hesitate, you were not mistaken!”
We asked a writer from Voronezh to answer a few questions.
Lydia, how are you feeling today?
Feelings of gratitude. I thank my village, my native land, which gives me the 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 short stories "Three Powers", published by ITRK 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, exacting 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. There are, of course, many...
Let's limit ourselves to three.
Please. Zoya Prokopyeva's "Our Turn", Vladilen Mashkovtsev's "Golden Flower-Overcomer", and Mamin-Sibiryak's "Mountain Nest".
The Delvig Award Ceremony ended late in the evening with a grand buffet reception. Writers, laureates and guests did not disperse for a long time. There were toasts, champagne glasses clinked. Now it's up to the reader: it is he who is the main "jury" who will vote for the book in rubles.

"Golden Delvig": emotion about the reaction of "colleagues"
Last night I attended the Anton Delvig Award Ceremony, held in State Museum A.S. Pushkin (not named after Pushkin, but Pushkin) on Prechistenka 12/2. Once it was the city noble estate of the Khrushchevs-Seleznyovs. And today - a newfangled phantasmagoria, in which parts of the old manor are covered from above with a glass vaulted ceiling, which turned the courtyard into a vast hall.
Not everyone probably remembers why Delvig. Let me remind you: he was the first editor of Literaturnaya Gazeta. From the school bench, we are accustomed to recognize A.S. Pushkin as the father of this publication. And from Soviet times, two profiles on the front page of the newspaper are remembered - A.S. Pushkin and M. Gorky. And no Delvig. However, if we take, for example, L.A. Chareysky, we read from him: “Pushkin actively participated in Delvig’s publications Northern Flowers (1825-1831), Snowdrop (1829) and Literary Gazette (1830) ...” But this is me, by the way, if anyone - I didn't understand.
"For fidelity to the word and the Fatherland" - that was the slogan of this whole event. I am personally acquainted with half of this year's laureates (there were also some past laureates whom I also know). In my opinion, not everyone is so loyal to the Fatherland to the last. Yesterday I also saw those who do not keep their word (what kind of fidelity to the word can there be). But I attributed these unfortunate 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, so to speak, the liberal wing of the domestic literary community has prevailed. I well remember a long-standing article by Yuri Polyakov, in which he, going by 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 run and steered by the same wing, which was represented by 99 percent in the plane 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 website of Literaturnaya Gazeta. I was amazed. No, not names. I heard them yesterday, I saw the laureates themselves. Everything is fine here. I was surprised by the comments at the bottom of the biographies page of the laureates. In the best traditions of a free democratic and excessively liberal society, the owners of the site opened up to everyone the opportunity, how to say, to express themselves ... well, and ...
What can I say about expressions? Russian liberals are not yet ready for freedom of speech - that's what I'll say. They simply arrange a latrine from any decent place reserved for expressing thoughts before their appearance. They are given the opportunity to express their thoughts, and they ... obviously do something different there. Well, this is not the mind, honor and conscience, for sure.

“We give the award to people who have already proven their worth, who are read, who have feedback,” said the editor-in-chief of Literaturnaya Gazeta, which in 2012 established the Delvig Prize.
- Everyone who sent a talented text to the competition can really become a laureate. And this is not a figure of speech, - explained the coordinator of the award Maxim Zamshev. - Talented works in different genres should be encouraged. It is only important that the writer does not come into conflict with the gigantic Russian cultural mainstream. You can not invade the cultural code created over the centuries!
In addition to the Golden Delvig, the Pushkin Museum also presented two Young Delvigs and six special diplomas. WITH complete list laureates and diplomats can be found at the link.
The Anton Delvig Prize "is very promising: we cover all major genres of literature, including criticism, children's literature, and so on, unlike other awards focused on the novel or poetic form, Yury Polyakov, editor-in-chief of Literaturnaya Gazeta, told VZGLYAD newspaper.
Recall, on March 23, the Pushkin Museum hosted the literary award "For Loyalty to the Word and Fatherland", named after one of the poets of the Pushkin galaxy Anton Delvig. In addition to the medal and diploma, the laureates also received a cash prize. This year's premium 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 VZGLYAD newspaper, there are cases among young authors when a person has a bright debut, however, subsequently, hopes for him are not justified. “Therefore, the Golden Delvig award distinguishes established writers, and for the young there is a special, so to speak, division of the Young Delvig award,” the source said. In his opinion, this approach is "more organic for literature."
At the same time, Polyakov noted that "the award was given to writers of 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 searches are set out 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 it all.
Another representative of the older generation, the 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 on his mother tongue. Because our other central awards forget that literature in Russia is written not only in Russian,” Polyakov noted. He added that the Siberian writer, the successor of the traditions of Astafiev and Rasputin, Anatoly Baiborodin, also became the owner of the award.
In addition, the jury is trying to include among the laureates a 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 were also 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 of writers whose books and publications continue and enhance the best traditions and values of classical Russian, multinational Soviet and Russian literature, show a high level of skill, preserve and develop the Russian literary language, fully and originally reflect the processes taking place in society contribute to the strengthening and prosperity of the Fatherland.
For every author who dares to publish his book and present it to the readers, it is incredibly important to hear the opinion of not only ordinary people, but also experts who will be able to correctly and accurately determine its value. That is why participation in competitions and awards is always a whole event. It not only awakens the competitive spirit, but also causes emotional excitement. After all, you want not only to win, but to win deservedly.
One of the most prestigious domestic literary awards is the Golden Delvig award. It was founded in 2012 and is awarded annually in January - on the day of the founding of Literaturnaya Gazeta by Alexander Pushkin and Anton Delvig. A memorable event took place back in 1830. The goal set by the organizers 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 increase the best traditions and values of classical Russian, multinational Soviet and Russian literature, show a high level of skill, preserve and develop the Russian literary language, fully and originally 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 a historical story. All the events mentioned on the pages actually took place and happened to relatives and friends of the author. The reader will be transported to the beginning of the last century and step by step will survive 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. Deep love, sincere respect and recognition fill the pages of this wonderful collection, which is likely to be appreciated by experienced experts.
The Union of Writers publishing house 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.
