Pushkin Prize

The Pushkin Prize (Russian Пушкинская премия) was established in 1881 by the Russian Academy of Sciences to honor one of the greatest Russian poets Alexander Pushkin (1799-1837). The prize was awarded to the Russian who achieved the highest standard of literary excellence. The prize was discontinued during the Soviet period. It was restored in 1989 by Alfred Toepfler fund in Hamburg.^[1] In 1995 the State Pushkin Prize was established by Boris Yeltsin decree (Sasha Sokolov being the first laureate).
