Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin Prize
The Alexander Sergejewitsch Pushkin Prize was awarded from 1990 to 2005 for contemporary Russian-language writers by the Alfred Toepfer Foundation FVS
It is named after the poet Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin .
It was last endowed with around 15,000 euros. In this context, too, the foundation awarded travel grants to younger Russian writers to visit the Federal Republic of Germany until 2002 (for example, in 1991 to Mark Kharitonov , who soon received the first Russian Booker Prize ). In 2002, there was a two-year allocation interval.
Since 1992, two members of the Russian PEN Center have been on the awarding committee, which was headed by Wolf Schmid . Usually it was awarded in Moscow.
The award received a lot of attention in Russia too. In 1995 there was another Pushkin Prize in Russia at the instigation of Boris Yeltsin (the first prize winner was Sascha Sokolow ). It followed on from the Pushkin Prize awarded by the Imperial Russian Academy of Sciences in 1881, which was not awarded during the Soviet era (prize winners included Ivan Bunin and Anton Chekhov ). In Russia there was a new Pushkin Prize from 2005, which is awarded by the Aleksander Zhukov Foundation and the Pushkin Museum .
