It was the Pushkin award. Named after a great Russian poet A.S.Pushkin, the award ('Pushkinskaya premiya') was established by the St.Petersburg Academy of Science and was one of the most prestigeous Literary Awards in Russia. Awarded 23 times until it was scrapped under Bolsheviks in 1919, the Pushkin award was re-established under Boris Yeltsin in 1994 as a state literary award.
