The Pavel Bazhov Literary Prize was awarded for the best books. Laureates of the Pavel Bazhov All-Russian Literary Prize have been announced in Yekaterinburg. One of the four laureates was the writer Anatoly Omelchuk. The Bazhov Prize, one of the most respected in the country, has its own unique face. It is connected with the fact that Bazhov became a genius of the place for the Urals - this is the name of the writers who created a special, unique image of the region, endowed the space with new meanings, and formed a regional identity. Bazhov, as is known, created the now canonical image of the Urals as a land of masters. It is no coincidence that three award nominations, and there are only four of them, begin with the word “Master”: “Master. Prose”, “Master. Poetry", "Master. Publicism". Vladislav Krapivin, Olga Slavnikova, Nikolai Kolyada, Sergei Belyakov, Alexei Ivanov, Igor Sakhnovsky have become laureates of the Bazhov Prize in different years - a total of 80 winners. This year, about 60 books and projects were submitted for the award. The geography of applicants is from Altai to Moscow. The long list included 33 works, eleven of them were in the short list. It is impossible not to note the remarkable fact that in the short list of the nomination “Master. Poetry”, the authoritative jury of the award included Nikolai Shamsutdinov from Tyumen with a book of selected poems “Siberian character”. The award ceremony was held at the Writer's House. Yekaterinburg is a unique city, which, in addition to the Writer's House, has a whole Literary Quarter, and the united Museum of Ural Writers, which includes ten buildings, is one of the largest literary museums in Russia. Literary Tyumen can only admire and envy. Laureate of the Bazhov Prize in the nomination “Master. Prose” was Anna Matveeva, author of the book “Citizens. Amazing stories from the life of the people of the city of E. This book organically fits into the direction, which is usually called the Ural magical realism. The reader will find here exciting stories from the life of Ernst Neizvestny, Pavel Bazhov, Marshal Zhukov and, of course, Evgeny Roizman and Boris Yeltsin, as well as many other remarkable Uralians. Laureate of the competition in the nomination "Master. Poetry" became a poet from Perm, one of the cultural heroes of the Ural underground of the 80s Vladislav Trembling with the book "Terem distant and high". The "Riphean lines" of the Permian poet are well known to readers: Flame, squeezed in the palm of your hand, Rain in law, snow in the paddock. Who are you, God's man, Flame, rain or snow? In "Master" Journalism” the writer Anatoly Omelchuk with the book “Siberia – the Dream of God” became the laureate. The main theme of the writer - the theme of Siberia - acquires new accents here: the Siberia of Ermak, Semyon Remezov, Anna Nerkaga and, most importantly, the so-called ordinary people, is comprehended by the writer as a land of happiness and joy. Dmitry Karasyuk from Yekaterinburg rightly won in the nomination "Benefit of the cause" for the two-volume "History of Sverdlovsk Rock (1961-1991)" and "Rock Encyclopedia: The Rhythm That We...". This is a colossal documentary epic in terms of information, dedicated to the phenomenon of Sverdlovsk rock - a book that has long been awaited. For all their differences, the winning books turned out to be very similar: each of them reveals new meanings of the space of our common life in its own way, and the Bazhov Prize - 2017 brilliantly fulfilled its task: to guide us in choosing the best books to read.

Dear representatives of the literary community, philologists, students, teachers, brothers and sisters!

Metropolitan Pavel, in the world Pyotr Konyuskevich, was born in 1705 in Galicia, in the town of Sambir. Peter's parents, seeing in their son undoubted talents and abilities, identified him in 1715 in the Kiev Academy, and soon the young man, with his rapid success in the sciences and remarkable meekness of disposition, attracted the attention of the academic authorities. At the end of the course of science, he, as the best of the pupils, was left at the academy as a teacher of piitika (the science of poetry).

Here I would like to stop a little and draw your attention to one of the motives - why a literary prize was established in honor of St. Paul - as you just heard, Vladyka was a connoisseur of literature and had a poetic gift during his lifetime.

In 1733, that is, in the 28th year of his life, Peter received monastic tonsure with the name Paul. The tonsure was performed in the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra.

I draw your attention to the fact that in 2013 a particle of the relics of St. Paul was transferred to the Kuzbass Metropolis from this ancient monastery of Holy Rus'.

On December 5, 1734, Paul was ordained a hierodeacon, and on January 1, 1740, a hieromonk. Further, in the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra, he carried the obedience of the steward.

In 1743, Hieromonk Pavel was elevated to the rank of archimandrite (for the audience, an explanation - that is, “honored priest”) and was appointed rector of the Novgorod Yuriev Monastery, which he ruled for more than 13 years.

In 1758, Archimandrite Pavel was appointed Metropolitan of the Diocese of Tobolsk and consecrated in St. Petersburg in May 1758. Siberia in that period of time was a vast field for Christian educational activities. In the 18th century, Siberia was "rich" in all sorts of heresies and pagan superstitious customs. But schismatics (Old Believers of various persuasions) caused the saint especially much trouble. Most of them were in the 1760s in Tyumen, Tara, Yekaterinburg, Yeniseisk and Tomsk.

During the reign of Metropolitan Pavel of the Tobolsk diocese, there were 15 monasteries in the states.

In 1768 St. Paul retired to the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra. In the autumn of 1770, the forces began to leave the archpastor. On the morning of November 4, Vladyka took communion of the Holy Mysteries of Christ and reposed in the evening of the same day.

Saint Paul of Tobolsk was canonized as a saint by the Council of 1917-1918. The saint is commemorated on November 4/17, the day of the repose, and on June 10/23, the day of the Council of the Siberian Saints.

As for the relationship of the saint to our Kuznetsk land, I would like to note that during the years of his Equal-to-the-Apostles labors, he was the ruling bishop of “all Siberia”. Consequently, the metropolitan actively resolved the issues of church life in the Kuznetsk parishes. So, for example, according to the surviving archival information, it was St. Paul who blessed the construction of the first church in the city of Prokopyevsk in honor of St. Procopius of Ustyug - that is why the city began to be called Prokopyevsk. Previously, this settlement was called the village of Monastyrskoe. It was Metropolitan Pavel who put a lot of work into the development of monastic life in the very first Kuznetsk Christ-Christmas Monastery (the monastery was abolished in 1769). During the reign of Saint Paul in The St. Nicholas Church was built in Bachaty, where later in 1851. the very first mines in Kuzbass "Petrovskaya" and "Nikolskaya" were opened.

All this historical information, which was presented to us in the Kemerovo Diocesan Administration by members of the public organization "Spiritual Traditions of the Kuznetsk Land", gave food for thought on perpetuating the memory of this saint in a literary award.

Now our presentation is a discussion about the meaning and place of spiritual life in modern society, including in the Siberian region.

Domestic, and in many ways world history and culture are inextricably linked with Orthodoxy and other traditional religions. They cannot be fully understood and felt without knowing the spiritual foundations of culture. The stages of the historical development of both the country and Kuzbass acquire logic only when they are considered from this point of view.

Orthodoxy became part of Russian culture. And Russian culture, thanks to Orthodoxy, began to have that uniqueness that cannot be confused with any other. Russian writers, figures of culture and art are recognized all over the world. They managed to express the feelings and aspirations of a Russian Orthodox person through their work.

Awareness of involvement in the historical and cultural heritage of one's people helps a person to acquire life-giving meanings - a system of moral coordinates and guidelines for movement, to become a true patriot of his Fatherland.

The fact that Russia for many centuries remained Russian and Orthodox in spirit is the great spiritual heritage of St. Sergius of Radonezh, whose name we especially remember this year. The abbot of the Russian land resisted the destructive spirit of the times, he was and remains the example that inspires and strengthens us in our daily labors in the name of saving our own souls and building the earthly Fatherland.

It is typical for a Russian writer to share his insights, observations and doubts with the reader, to think about “eternal” questions, about the meaning of life, about the destiny of a person, to put moral conflicts before readers and offer their solutions, and sometimes, without even offering a solution, put this a collision in a context that helps the reader himself, without prompting, make the right worldview choice. It is such works - works that have a deep inner content, and are of genuine artistic value, gain recognition from contemporaries and descendants, remain in the grateful memory of the people.

For our region, familiarization with the great Russian literature and culture in general is not just an educational task, but the most important factor of spiritual attraction, thanks to which different peoples, people of different religions and even beliefs unite. Here, special attention should be paid to programs in Russian literature along with the study of local national culture.

Our country in the 20th century went through severe trials, through incomparable sorrows. We in the Church celebrate the day of All the Saints who shone forth in the Russian land, as well as the New Martyrs and Confessors of the Russian Church. These are our relatives and fellow citizens, these are our brothers and sisters, who showed the image of holiness, the Divine ideal of human life. These are heroes of the spirit, many of whom became heroes of our literature - the very one that originates in the hagiographic literature of Ancient Rus' and which nourished and nourishes the culture of our people with its powerful spiritual roots. The saints are not far from us - we can't even imagine how close they are to us, how they stand next to us today. And those who go against the heavenly army, against the spiritual army of Rus', will never be able to win, because that army is with God and God is with it.

Studying the foundations of religious cultures is a matter of national security. A huge number of our fellow citizens who have not yet come to faith are in a religious search, and sometimes in spiritual danger. Nature does not tolerate emptiness. And if the soul of a person is not filled with love for the traditional, time-honored culture, turned to the world and creation, it will be filled with a surrogate in the form of pseudo-spirituality or religious extremism.

Spiritual and moral education should become one of the fundamental principles of modern education. It is impossible to build the future without instilling in the younger generation the moral norms that are traditional for our people.

Today there are two ways in literary activity: either follow someone and earn money, or testify about ideals, about truth, especially if it is connected with the religious dimension of life, and in a sense go against the current. The majority of the people who make up the general stream will rather read commercial than truly fiction - this stems from the general mindset, from the moral state of society, which today can by no means be considered satisfactory. Therefore, the task is to support as much as possible that part of our Russian literature that does not abandon attempts to defend and promote high spiritual and moral ideals, especially among young people.

Modern youth, for the most part, prefers computers to books, classical literature - fantasy and action movies, study, work and service - games and idleness. Thus, we have no other choice but to work daily on spiritual and moral education in schools and universities, develop educational projects in the media, support youth movements and initiatives in cultural, military-patriotic, social and other areas in which young people people are ready to benefit their country.

Until we all together, as a whole people - the Church, the intelligentsia, the media - do not understand that one cannot ignore the inner life of a person, that caring for the soul is the main task of society, we will not cope with our problems. It is impossible to improve education and not to improve upbringing. It is impossible to introduce modern technology into the intellectual development of a person - a technology that is really capable of helping people receive a higher level of education - without simultaneously preserving moral ideals. A person cannot live without a moral ideal.

What is the merit of classical Russian literature? In that she picked up the moral ideal of Christianity, clothed this ideal in the image of a positive hero, and this image was offered at school, at home, in the cinema, in the theater. Today there is no ideal, no positive hero. For some, a positive hero becomes a person who strives with all his might to rake in money, stopping at nothing. But this is a terrible character. This is not a viable hero, because the society in the center of which is this unrestrained consumer philosophy is not viable.

And, of course, it's not just about philosophy. The point is, first of all, what happens in our life. Much depends on the consciousness of people. Therefore, today all those who can influence human consciousness - the Church, and writers, and the school, and the intelligentsia, and the media - should not quarrel and not pull the rope, but work together to change the worldview of modern man, so that ideals appear that can arrange the life of the individual and society for the good.

The task of literature is to show people not only the world around them, but also certain ways, ways out of those difficult situations. Literature always has a moral component. At the same time, a literary work should not turn into moralizing.

The Russian Orthodox Church cannot remain indifferent to what is happening today in modern Russian literature. Unfortunately, many works of a very dubious value orientation have appeared today, often running counter to the moral ideals of the Russian literary tradition, and sometimes directly contradicting them. Therefore, the literary award is intended to remind you that today, not only in Russia, but in many countries of the world where they speak and write in Russian, there are authors who perceive themselves as successors and continuers of the spiritual tradition dating back to the Slavic enlighteners. It was these writers who became the nominees for the 2014 St. Paul of Tobolsk Literary Prize. I am sure that they all deserve this award. We want living literature, sincere, interesting, bright. But at the same time, I want books not only to reflect the gloomy reality of the world around us, but also to help a person find the way to the light.

I want to wish all our writers to successfully develop their creative talent, realizing the responsibility before God and people for every written or spoken word.

I express the hope that we will hold this event annually. God grant that good works in the community of professional writers, writers, contribute to the multiplication of wonderful publications, which we will be happy to consider in the sections: poetry, prose, local history and charity. The purpose of this undertaking is our sincere desire to encourage writers who have made a significant contribution to the affirmation of spiritual and moral values ​​in the life of modern man, who have created highly artistic works that have enriched Russian literature.

Thank you for your attention.
