The chief editor of the Teatral magazine Valery Yakov and a researcher at the Higher School of Economics Sergey Nikitin also became the laureates of the prize.
By tradition, the names of the laureates will be made public on the birthday of the great Russian poet Joseph Brodsky. This year marks 79 years since his birthday.
This prize, in addition to its main goal - the strengthening of cultural ties between countries, also serves as vivid evidence of strong friendship that has long connected the Russians and the Italians. The prize is given to cultural figures, writers and journalists, whose work has made a significant contribution to the development of bilateral relations in the cultural sphere.
The Italian journalist Massimo Zivelli, who heads the organizing committee of the award and is its initiator, recalled that the poet, who was famous for his work throughout the world, was very fond of Ischia. The winner of the Nobel Prize in literature is buried in Italy.
