Statement by Jury Chair Mikhail Shishkin on the results of the second season\u2019s vote<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAccording to the results of the Jury vote, three books from the shortlist received an equal number of votes: \u201cA Little Paradise\u201c by Ksenia Buksha, \u201cLullaby for Mariupol\u201c by Alexandra Krashevskaya, and \u201cDays of Repentance\u201c by Oleg Radzinsky, and we now find ourselves in a situation where the competition has produced three winners instead of the announced two. As Chair of the Jury, I have decided that this season the Dar Literary Prize, in the form of translation grants, will be awarded to all three works that received the highest number of votes. This is a challenge for us, but we are confident that we will manage. Congratulations to the winners!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
