It reminds me of One Hundred Years of Solitude. This is a long saga that is connected with a distant place that becomes close.

Before announcing the winners of this season, the jury members presented the books from the short list, explaining the structure of each novel, the relevance of the work and its artistic features. Evgeny Vodolazkin, Lev Anninsky, Pavel Basinsky, Alexei Varlamov, Valentin Kurbatov, Vladislav Otroshenko spoke to the guests of the ceremony.

The second laureate, Alexander Grigorenko, was unable to attend the ceremony. Vladislav Otroshenko told about his story to those present in the hall. He emphasized that for the first time the genre of the story is shortlisted for the award.

Orkhan Pamuk and his novel "My Strange Thoughts" translated by Apollinaria Avrutina became a laureate in the nomination "Foreign Literature". Aleksey Varlamov noted the work of the translator, who managed to convey "the melodious intonation and atmosphere of Istanbul."
"This is a big leisurely book, clearly not written in pursuit of success. This is a declaration of love to his hometown, Istanbul. It is somewhat reminiscent of One Hundred Years of Solitude. This is a long saga that is connected with a distant place that becomes close," Varlamov said. Orkhan Pamuk will receive his award later, at the Yasnaya Polyana estate.
The last to be announced was the winner in the Readers' Choice category, for whom readers voted online. In this case, the choice of readers coincided with the opinion of the jury and the award was given to Narine Abgaryan. The winner received a themed trip for two to Seoul.
