Solzhenitsyn Prize

The Solzhenitsyn Prize is a non-governmental Russian literary award established by the Russian writer Alexander Solzhenitsyn in 1997.[1]

The $25,000 prize is awarded for "works in which troubles of the Russian life are shown with rare moral purity and sense of tragedy, for consecutiveness and steadiness in search of truth".[2] The prize is financed by royalties from sales of The Gulag Archipelago.[3]
