What Galina Rymba accused the Dar Award and Denis of the Beznosyansky -language poetess and translator Galina Rymbu, who lives in Ukraine, spoke about the possible connection of the literary prize “Gift” with the “genocide and kidnapping of Ukrainian children”. The post about this Rymba published on her Facebook on the evening of March 26. The Gift Award arose in 2024, its initiator is the writer Mikhail Shishkin. The purpose of the award is “support and promotion of authors writing in Russian, regardless of their place of residence and citizenship,” the site says. And also – the creation of a new culture, “where literature in Russian occupies a worthy place in the world, being responsible to humanity, and not to the dictatorships.” The jury “Dara” (besides the writer Shishkin, the historian Tamara Eidelman, the chairman of Zukunft Irina Shcherbakova, actress Chulpan Khamatova and others) chooses the winner who receives the winner. The translation of his book into foreign languages. In 2025, he became the Russian-Ukrainian writer Maria Galina, who wrote the book “Near the War. Odessa. February 2022 – Fierce 2023. ” Galina abandoned the award, considering the jury’s choice “a political moment-and, to some extent, sympathy for Ukraine.” In 2025, Denis Beznosov’s book “Certificate of Hills” included in the short list of the prize. According to the annotation on the website of the publishing house Ivan Lumbach, the book is a “polyphonic reflection on disaster and totalitarianism.” According to Ramba, the “gift” was actively engaged in the promotion of the novel, although “Denis Beznosov has long existed questions from both Ukrainian organizations related to children’s literature and human rights activists involved in the investigation of the deportation of Ukrainian children and crimes against humanity that Russians against Ukrainians committed the poetess, which approved by the end of 2022 the first deputy director of the Russian State Children’s Library (RGDB). Soon after a full-scale invasion of Ukraine, in March of 2022, the RGDB launched the first Book project-as part of the Bi-Bi-Mobile Children’s Book Week, illustrators and library staff went to recreational centers in the Moscow region to hold “creative meetings” for children taken out of the self-proclaimed DPR and LPR. The action was supported by the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation and the Presidential Fund of Cultural Initiatives, which allocated a grant on it – after that the “creative landing” visited the points of temporary accommodation in other regions of Russia, where there were children and adolescents from Donbass. Participants in the RGDB project, writes Galina Rym, “traveled to the“ re -education camps ”of stolen Ukrainian children and distributed propaganda materials and narratives aimed at violent Russification and destruction of their identity.” “And something tells me,” she adds, “that Denis Beznosov could not not notice this.” To prove her words, Rymba attached a photograph of Beznosov taken during one of the trials of the project in Vladimir in August 2022. “They can begin to counteract” the Russian authorities are afraid of children forcibly exported from Ukraine. They are trying to “re -educate” them and put them under hard digital control. Investigation of “Medusa” “they can begin to counteract” the Russian authorities are afraid of children forcibly exported from Ukraine. They are trying to “re -educate” them and put them under hard digital control. Investigation of Medusa, together with Denis Beznosov in the picture – Andrei Usachev, a children’s writer, author of stories about the dog Sonya and the chairman of the Board of Trustees of the RGDB. According to the photo report of the library, Usachev also participated in other exits of the project. He also repeatedly traveled to annexed DPR and LPR. “We saw the children whose houses were destroyed,” the writer said in an interview. – We went to schools. In one of them, I wanted to leave them children’s songs on a flash drive, but they did not have computers: the Nazis took out two new ones from school, and they also mined the third. And I can honestly say that I saw it all with my own eyes. And if you want to have your opinion, then you need to go and look with your own eyes. Yes, the military operation is bad, but it was inevitable in the current conditions. ”In 2024, Andrei Usachev was nominated from Russia for the Hans of Hans Christian Andersen-this is the highest international award awarded to the authors and illustrators of children’s books (Usachev did not enter the short list of the prize). According to Galina Rimb, Denis Beznosov contributed to this nomination, since in September 2022 he was appointed Vice President IBBY and re-elected to the executive committee of the organization for a second term. Rymbu also accused the non -Zanosova of organizing a program for “training 400 library specialists of Russia, Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics”, which is aimed at “Russification of children”, as well as “destroying and writing off Ukrainian books” in libraries. Also having left Russia, Denis Beznosov is “revealing silently”, writes Galina Rimba. And therefore, she believes, the “gift” and “other Russian-emigrant media and organizations” must stop “further legitimation, promotion and justification of a person with such a“ background ”.” That the Dar and Denis Beznosov award responded to the accusations of the Dar Prize, writer Mikhail Shishkin wrote in response to the accusations that “Littleprem is not an investigative committee.” He stated that in the event of an “official confirmation” of the words, to Romb, “all measures depending on us” will be taken. Shishkin also thanked the poetess “for the active indifference and for the concern for strengthening the prestige of the literary prize“ Gift ”. Literature historian Mikhail Edelstein, who is part of the Expert Council of the award, called Galina Rymba post “disgusting manipulation and high -rope.” “The real content in it is about zero,” Edelstein wrote, “but everything is densely political pathos and not related to the business with loud words.” The literary critic Evgenia Vezhlyan, who is also part of the expert council “Dara”, wrote: “The question was why writer B., being in Russia, did not make the stamina and did not interfere with the illegal actions that were instructed The Government of the Russian Federation seems provocative and manipulative, because the answer to it is quite obvious. This is a matter of approximately such a property as “why you surrendered, and not shot yourself”. Who can ask such a question in general? ”Denis Beznosov refused to answer the“ jellyfish ”questions, adding that he“ would not want to comment on ”and that he“ never denied that he worked in the library for about ten years, organized festivals and fairs, international projects, and then left (from the post) and left. ” Information about the work of Neznosov in the RGDB is also on his page in LinkedIn. The description of the profile clarifies that for eight years he was organizing programs related to children’s literature, and events at international book fairs in Bologna, Athens, Frankfurt, Paris and other cities. In August 2022, Denis Beznosov, his acquaintance says (he asked Medusa about anonymity), participated in the organization of the annual book festival. “Kitovras” in Vladimir. As part of the festival, the RGDB “First Book” project held classes and master classes with children from the DPR and LPR in the regional library for children and youth. Neznosov, his acquaintance claims, did not engage in this project, but at that time was present in the library at that time – and as the deputy director of the RGDB agreed to take a picture with the participants, since otherwise the questions would “arise questions” (Galina Rimba illustrated her post with accusations against Beznosov). Already in September 2022, the interlocutor of Medusa adds, Beznosov left Russia and resigned from the RGDB. “When it all started (Russian invasion of Ukraine), Denis seemed to be still conducted by culture projects, including international ones,” says the writer’s acquaintance. -But by the summer, other (related to war) projects, restrictions on formats began to appear, and he realized that the focus was shifted. “After the persecution of the vice-president of the International Council for Children’s and Youth Literature (IBBY), the issues to the activities of Denis Beznosov did not first arise for the first time. For many years, Beznosov collaborated with the International Council for Children’s and Youth Literature (IBBY). He twice became a member of the Jury of the Andersen Prize-in 2018 and 2020 and participated in the organization of the IBBY International Congress in Moscow in 2021. And in September 2022 he was appointed vice president of the organization and for the second time he was elected to its executive committee. Then the Russian illustrator was elected chairman of the Jury of the Andersen Prize. IBBY, the election of Russians associated with state institutions caused a wave of criticism not only from the Ukrainian section of the organization, but also Belgium, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Norway, Finland, Sweden and Estonia. The Ukrainian section also withdrew its Andersen award nominees. So did Denmark; In addition, Margreta II, who was then the queen of the country, refused to patronize the prizes. Liz Page, who held the post of IBBY Executive Director from 2009 to 2022, recalls in a conversation with Medusa that the organization’s members decided to choose Denis Beznosov by Vice President “Because of the qualities that he had previously demonstrated in the executive committee.” However, according to her, this led to “to cruel trolling, aimed not only at him personally, but, in a broader sense, to the whole organization.” “Graving has begun,” says a friend of Beznosova. – It was a nightmare. They wrote to him, sent photos, spoke nasty things. ” In January 2023, Anastasia Arkhipova left the Jury of Andersen. In April of the same year, Denis Beznosov also left the post of Vice President IBBY. According to Liz Page, the Executive Committee made such a decision with Neznosov to stop the “further damage to the integrity of IBBY”. At the same time, until September 2024, Beznosov remained a member of the executive committee. “I can confirm with all confidence that Mr. Beznosov had no influence on Usachev’s nomination on the Andersen Prize in 2024,” says Liz Page, Medusa. She explains that candidates are elected committees that relate to sections of organizations. “Mr. Usachev was nominated for a prize in 2016 and 2018, so his nomination in 2024 was not surprising,” Page adds. The former IBBY Executive Director considers the accusations against Beznosov “malicious and unreasonable.” “I know Mr. Beznosov for about ten years and during this time I was convinced that he is an honest and very principled young man,” says Liz Page. – I believe that he tried to console children with the help of books and stories. And, like many people at that time, did not know about the illegal actions of the government. Thus, he was drawn into the tragedy of war. ” The acquaintance of Denis Beznosova says that he was “terribly upset” when he saw the accusations of Galina Romb. “Denis is a very non -public person, he never made any statements and never took such a position (described by Rymbu),” the source said. “He endured what was happening very hard, this can be felt from his books.” According to a friend, Beznosov does not know, “what to do now.” “Very disappointing,” adds a friend of the writer. -Because he (in Russia) felt in some impasse-both at work and creatively. After moving, Denis began his career again, in another region and in another role, returned to the texts, it would seem, everything gradually stole, and then … Absolute hopelessness. ” “Here I pierced” on Facebook they argue due to “borrowings” in the novel by Alexander Ilicevsky “October 7”-dozens of foreign pages fell into the text. “Medusa” also found Platonov “here I pierced” on Facebook, they argue due to “borrowings” in Alexander Ilichevsky’s novel “October 7”-dozens of foreign pages fell into the text. Medusa also found Platonovakristin Safonov there. (Tagstotranslate) News
