Поздравляю Владимира Николаевича с юбилеем. Хорошо, что Патриарх лично отметил его как первого лауреата премии — это по делу, Крупин действительно много для русской литературы сделал.

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.
