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.

Да, Крупин — это целая эпоха. Помню, как в девяностые его книги в руках держал, когда всё вокруг рушилось. Хорошо, что Патриарх прямо написал про первую Патриаршую премию, по делу.
