The Pavel Vasiliev Prize has been revived... This has been talked about for several months in “literary circles”...
(“What do they do in literary circles?” one of the Omsk writers asked Sergei Ivanovich Kotkalo: “In literary circles they do literature,” answered the Secretary of the Board of the Union of Writers of Russia...)
This was reported by the media and the website “Russian Writer”, where the regulations on the prize were published, which for the first and, it seemed, last time was awarded back in 1997 to Sergei Kunyaev for the book “Russian Golden Eagle”, dedicated to the biography and work of Pavel Vasilyev...
Oh, the path to man is long, people,
But the country is all green - knee-deep grass.
There will be mercy for you, people, there will be,
Sing about me, the poor one...
Yes, the path of this literary prize to its final approval was long, but it took place thanks to the Governor of the Omsk Region L.K. Polezhaev, the Chairman of the Union of Writers of Russia V.N. Ganichev and the head of the Omsk branch of the Writers' Union of the Russian Federation V.Yu. Erofeeva-Tverskaya. Or, as officially reported, “the competition for the Pavel Vasiliev Literary Prize in 2012 was held by the Ministry of Culture of the Omsk Region in pursuance of Decree of the Governor of the Omsk Region dated December 7, 2011 No. 123 in order to stimulate creative activity and increase the prestige of Russian literature.”
Of course, incentives with bonus money often lead to a simulation of this very creative activity, and Nekrasov’s humorous lines come to mind here:
Chu! the cart creaks! Two oxen weave
The sheaves dive into the greenery before us.
Like a green table
On which piles of gold flash.
But, for a moment, again from official information:
“The prize will be awarded annually in three categories: “Prose”, “Poetry”, “Literary Debut”. The best in the “Poetry” and “Prose” nominations will receive 600 thousand rubles each, and 300 thousand rubles – in the “Literary Debut” nomination...”
As it turned out, there were no typos. But there was nothing else - scandals, behind-the-scenes intrigues, grievances... Although the latter, quite likely, took place. Or another grumbling of one local semi-literary clay-mixer, assessing the work of Omsk writers through a cloudy bottle glass...Out of 24 applicants, the high jury selected four names. Or rather, their works. So, the first laureates of the revived Pavel Vasiliev Literary Prize were:
In the “Poetry” nomination – Irina Semyonova from Orel for the poetry collection “Russian Stone”;
In the “Prose” category – Omsk residents Evgeny Danilevsky (for the novel in the manuscript “The Sea of Inevitability”) and Valery Khomyakov (for the book “The Miracle of Creation. Man and the World in the Poetry of Pavel Vasiliev”);
In the category “Literary Debut” - a first-year student at the Literary Institute. Gorky Elena Kolesnichenko for the book “Warm Days of Winter”
The award ceremony took place on the main stage of the regional Expocenter as part of the regional exhibition “Omsk Culture: A World Without Borders.” Especially for this event, the chairman of the Writers' Union of Russia, deputy head of the World Russian People's Council, member of the Public Chamber of the Russian Federation Valery Ganichev, co-chairman of the Writers' Union of Russia, editor-in-chief of the magazine "New Book of Russia" Sergei Kotkalo, Marina Ganicheva, editor-in-chief of the magazine with an inspired entitled “Oh, Russian Land!”, organizer of the All-Russian competition for children and youth “Grenadiers, forward!”
Among the large-scale events of the first day of the exhibition, there was a presentation of the project of the XXI International Film Forum “Golden Knight” with the participation of the forum president, People’s Artist of Russia Nikolai Burlyaev.
Valery Nikolaevich Ganichev noted: “It is symbolic that such a prestigious award is presented at the Omsk Culture exhibition.” This is a unique event. I travel a lot around Russia, I have been to various exhibitions - economic, industrial, but this is the first time I have seen such an exhibition entirely dedicated to culture. We agreed with Governor Leonid Polezhaev that next year a writers’ pavilion will definitely be set up in Omsk as part of this exhibition.”
The next day, when Sergei Kotkalo was asked a question about “literary circles,” a meeting took place between the Chairman of the Russian Federation and Omsk writers at the F. M. Dostoevsky Literary Museum. Valery Nikolaevich in his speech touched upon current issues and problems of creativity of Russian writers - this is the problem of protecting the rights of writers, the place of culture in the life of modern Russian society, the need to approve the law on the Russian language.
“When we created the World Russian People's Council, we took upon ourselves at the Council a number of pressing issues of the Russian people, took many dissatisfied, offended, confused people to the creative field, to the field of Faith, the Russian Orthodox Church, service to the Fatherland, the highest spiritual and moral values , on the field of conciliarity, that is, the unification of peoples, people of all nationalities around the Russian people.
The first decisions of the Council were greeted in liberal and pro-Western circles with hooting and cries: nationalism, obscurantism, chauvinism. Then the Council became stronger, and its theses on national identity, national culture, national school, and the protection of the Russian language became the programmatic theses of all leading parties,” noted Valery Nikolaevich.
...In literary circles they study literature. And many remember other Nekrasov lines:
Who is at the bedside of his suffering brother
He shed no tears, in whom there is no compassion,
Who sells himself to the crowd for gold,
He's not a poet!
And those circles are life-saving ones. Or rather, life-saving ones. Literature should be like that – soul-saving. Like the living, unfading word of Pavel Vasiliev:….We must forget about
that it’s hard for you and me,
You need to hear the birds
trembling wing,
We must wait for dawn
wait one night,
Phoebus hasn't woken up yet
mother did not wake up.
With an easy, cheerful step
it's raining in the garden,
Morning on the body
a shiver runs through
Morning cool
splashes at the eyelashes,
Here it is morning - whisper
hearts and moans of birds.

On January 29, the solemn presentation of the All-Russian Literary Prize named after Pavel Petrovich Bazhov took place in Yekaterinburg. 72 authors applied for the prize in four categories: “Master. Prose", "Master. Poetry", "Master. Journalism" and "Benefits of the Cause", the short list included 12 applicants.

Bazhov Prize laureates - 2017:
"Master. Prose" - Yaroslava Pulinovich with a collection of selected plays "I won".
"Master. Poetry" - Albert Zinatullin with an affair "The Third Side of Paper".
"Master. Journalism" - Vladislav Mayorov with difficulty about the Russian nuclear submarine fleet "With might for the Fatherland".
“Benefit of the cause” - festival “Fat Men in the Urals”.
A collection of eight of the author's most famous plays. They are staged in theaters throughout Russia and beyond. J. Pulinović has been awarded several prestigious theater and literary awards. J. Pulinović is a playwright, but the jury’s decision to award her the prose award was motivated by the fact that her book is equally good for the stage and for reading.
Dramatic duology by Yaroslava Pulinovich “Natasha’s Dream. I won” - these are monologues. In both plays, the main characters are girls named Natasha. They are sixteen years old, but they have very different destinies. One of them has a very difficult life: an orphanage, unhappy love. The second, on the contrary, was extremely lucky - she was brought up in a prosperous environment. It would seem that the heroines are completely different, but they have something in common...

Since 2014, director of "Theater on Pillows". Lives in Yekaterinburg.
Epistolary poetic novel Alberta Zinatullina - "The Third Side of Paper".
There is no third party to paper. But there is a space between texts left by the author for the reader. You can flip through as you please: from the fifth to the tenth, from the last page to the first, a teaspoon per hour, topsy-turvy, at random... This makes the plot unpredictable and the reading entertaining.
Vladislav Nikolaevich Mayorov- military journalist, combat veteran, participated in the first and second Chechen campaigns. Born in 1960. Graduated from the Sverdlovsk Suvorov Military School and the Irkutsk Higher Military Aviation Engineering School.

The book contains unique documents, photographs and historical information.
The expert council of the award did not ignore Festival "Fat Men in the Urals", conducted by Ural magazine since 2015. The festival was created to draw attention to thick magazines and their role in the modern literary process, to establish a multilateral dialogue between modern writers, critics, editors, publishers and readers.

“Bazhov is one of the most relevant authors today, and most importantly, children know him very well. The fact that it is incomprehensible and outdated is a myth,” O. Kolpakova told an ITAR-TASS correspondent.
Olga Kolpakova “It’s all for beauty”
Children, after reading this book, begin to grow caramels, bake their own pies, and from time to time go sailing under a pirate flag. Parents, having read this book, begin to distract their children from the TV, trying to have a heart-to-heart talk, or even tell a fairy tale. This amazing story makes children and parents think whether they are happy together. And if not, what can you do to become happier?
Received the fourth prize a group of Ekaterinburg scientists for the first volume of the fundamental work “History of Literature of the Urals. The end of the XIV - XVIII centuries." A total of four volumes are planned for publication, which will present the reader with the history of the literary life of the region from the late Middle Ages to the present day.
Laureates of the P.P. Bazhov steel:
Eduard Verkin (Ivanovo) - for the novel “Cloud Regiment”.
"Cloud Regiment" is a novel about teenage partisans. The novel confidently and firmly continues the line of “patriotic” literature about the war, begun by such works as “Star” by E. Kazakevich, and from children’s literature - “Four from Russia” by V. Kleopov. The book is distinguished by its uncompromising contrast between “Germans” and “ours,” as well as its naturalism, including in its depiction of children in the war. To the great-grandson’s question “What is war like? How does it feel?” the narrator answers: “Illness.” The words “sensation” and “illness” can perhaps be perceived as key words for the novel. The author painstakingly restores not only the events, but also precisely the sensations of wartime - the sensation of a shift in reality, the sensation of a sick world around, perceived by a sick, poisoned consciousness: war is a disease.
Tamara Mikheeva from Chelyabinsk with the story “Light Mountains”, published in No. 6 of the Ural magazine.

And why they are “light” - none of the local residents can explain.
A new family, an unfamiliar city, a completely different world, so different from my previous life. It seems to little Dinka that she will never stop being a stranger here. But where the air is filled with the aromas of herbs, and the wind blows through the tops of the pines, where every tree has a soul, where children play in the whole entrance, where large families gather on holidays, and in times of need the whole world comes to the rescue, a feeling of kinship arises on its own. and with it the main values are acquired - your home, your homeland, your Light Mountains. In Tamara Mikheeva’s story, one can feel incredible sincerity, sensitivity to the inner world of a child, love for the native land and the Russian word - the main thing that distinguishes the best examples of children’s literature and refers to the work of such recognized masters as V. Krapivin, Y. Koval, L. Kassil.
