Congratulations to Vladimir Nikolaevich on his anniversary. It’s good that the Patriarch personally noted him as the first laureate of the prize - this is true, Krupin really did a lot for Russian literature.

Yes, Krupin is a whole era. I remember how in the nineties I held his books in my hands when everything around me was collapsing. It’s good that the Patriarch directly wrote about the first Patriarchal Prize, to the point.
