State Prize of the Russian Federation amount. Awards. Prizes of the Government and President of the Russian Federation

State Prize Laureate is a holder of an honorary award awarded by the President of the Russian Federation since 1992. It is awarded for outstanding achievements in technology, science, art, literature, as well as high production results.

Predecessor awards

The tradition of awarding outstanding people the title of State Prize laureate dates back to the Soviet Union. This tradition was introduced in 1967, since then it has been dedicated to the anniversary of the October Revolution.

This award became the successor to the Stalin Prize. The USSR State Prize was the second in importance, as well as in terms of monetary reward, after the Lenin Prize. In 1967, several dozen awards were presented at once. In particular, mathematician Anatoly Georgievich Vitushkin, poet Yaroslav Vasilyevich Smolyakov, literary critic Irakli Luarsabovich Andronnikov, composers Andrei Pavlovich Petrov and Tikhon Nikolaevich Khrennikov became laureates of the USSR State Prize.

It is noteworthy that in parallel there was also the State Prize of the RSFSR named after Stanislavsky. It was awarded exclusively for achievements in the field of theatrical art. This tradition lasted from 1966 to 1991. The very first laureates of the State Prize of the RSFSR were: actress Yulia Konstantinovna Borisova, actor Nikolai Konstantinovich Simonov and director Pavel Aleksandrovich Markov. In 1991, the award went to the cult theater director Leonid Efimovich Kheifits.

Story

State Prize laureates are awarded the appropriate honorary title depending on the field in which they received the award. They are also entitled to a monetary reward, a badge of honor, a diploma, and a dress badge.

The President of the Russian Federation presents the award in a solemn ceremony on Russia Day, which is celebrated on June 12.

Initially, the prize was awarded to stimulate achievements in scientific and technological progress. In the first year, 18 people received the title of State Prize laureate, and the next year another 20. For each of them, 100 thousand rubles were paid. The funds were taken from the federal budget.

The selection and approval of candidates from the very beginning was carried out by a specially created State Prizes Committee, headed by the President of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Yuri Sergeevich Osipov. After considering the candidates' works, the committee members formulated a general decision, which was approved by decrees of the President of Russia.

Since 1996, in addition to the awards listed above, they began to award the title of laureate of the State Prize named after Marshal of the Soviet Union Georgy Konstantinovich Zhukov. It was received for achievements in the field of military science, the creation of military equipment and weapons, works of literature and art, which revealed the greatness of the people's feat and outstanding Russian commanders. The awarding of this award was timed to coincide with Victory Day - May 9.

Attributes of the laureate

In addition to the corresponding title, certain attributes are awarded to laureates of the State Prize of the Russian Federation. They still exist today.

In particular, a badge of honor for the laureate of the State Prize of the Russian Federation is awarded. This is a medal modeled after a previously existing medal of the USSR State Prize laureate. The bar of the breastplate of the laureate of the State Prize of the Russian Federation is painted in the colors of the Russian flag.

Privileges

Laureates are provided with appropriate benefits. In particular, they:

  • are completely exempt from paying housing and communal services;
  • receive the right to free treatment with the provision of all necessary medications;
  • are exempt from paying for housing in any form;
  • can visit sanatoriums and health centers with free vouchers;
  • if necessary, improve your living conditions;
  • when building a house they receive free building materials;
  • use public transport free of charge;
  • in residential premises have the right to free installation of security systems.

State Prize laureates are also entitled to an additional payment to their pension. It is paid in accordance with Federal Law No. 21, according to which this category of citizens receives the right to monthly additional financial support. It is assigned and paid by the body that pays and assigns the corresponding pension. Its size is 330% of the social pension. By the way, if a citizen has the right to additional material support for several reasons, DME is established only for one of them, which provides for the maximum amount.

Considering that the size of the social pension in 2018 is 5,240 rubles, it is possible to calculate how the pension of State Prize laureates increases. Thus, the amount of the supplement is 17,292 rubles.

Currently, several hundred people have already become laureates of the State Prize of the Russian Federation. We will talk in detail about some of the public figures who received this award in this article. These are writers Daniil Aleksandrovich Granin and Alexander Isaevich Solzhenitsyn, programmer Evgeny Valentinovich Kaspersky, virtuoso pianist Denis Leonidovich Matsuev, statesman and political figure Evgeny Maksimovich Primakov, sculptor Dmitry Mikhailovich Shakhovskoy.

The writer received the medal of laureate of the State Prize of the Russian Federation twice - in 2001 and 2016. This is a famous Russian prose writer, a participant in the Great Patriotic War, who was born in 1919 on the territory of the Kursk province.

Shortly before the start of the Great Patriotic War, he was accepted into the Communist Party. Already in July 1941, he joined the people's militia of the Leningrad Rifle Division.

He made his debut in literature back in 1937 in the magazine "Cutter" with the stories "Motherland" and "The Return of Rouliac", which were dedicated to the Paris Commune. After the war, he worked at Lenenergo for several years without studying literature.

In 1949, his story “Option Two” was published in Zvezda, which received many positive reviews from critics. Since 1950, Daniil Alexandrovich began to study literature exclusively. At the same time, his first book, “Dispute Across the Ocean,” was published, followed by “Yaroslav Dombrovsky,” a collection of essays dedicated to the builders of the Kuibyshev hydroelectric station “New Friends.”

Granin's popularity was brought to him by the novel "The Searchers", which was published in 1955. Since then, his main theme has been inventors and scientists, in particular, their civic and moral position in Soviet society. In particular, his famous novel “I'm Going into a Storm,” which was later filmed, is dedicated to this topic. Granin also wrote biographies of scientists: physicist Igor Kurchatov (“Choice of Target”), biologist Alexander Lyubishchev (“This Strange Life”), geneticist Nikolai Timofeev-Resovsky (“Bison”).

The “Siege Book” of 1979 became a landmark in his work. In it, based on documentary material, the writer talks about the heroic defense of Leningrad during the Great Patriotic War. In recent years, when he had already become a laureate of the State Prize of Russia, he wrote memoirs entitled “Whims of My Memory”, “Everything Was Not Quite So”, as well as the novels “Conspiracy”, “My Lieutenant”. Granin died in 2017 at the age of 98.

In the 20th century, Solzhenitsyn became one of the most persecuted writers in his homeland, and at the same time one of the most popular domestic writers in the world. In 1970 he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature.

Born in Kislovodsk in 1918, he went against the system from childhood. At school he was ridiculed for wearing a cross and refusing to join the pioneer organization. Only under the influence of the public in 1936 did the future writer become a member of the Komsomol. He became interested in literature in high school, already dreaming of becoming a writer.

However, he did not make literature his main specialty, entering the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics of Rostov University in 1936. When the war began, he was not called up immediately, as he was initially considered to be of limited fitness. Only in March 1943 did Alexander Solzhenitsyn find himself in the active army and rose to the rank of captain. At the same time, despite the strict ban, he kept diaries and wrote many letters in which he spoke critically about Stalin. In February 1945, he was arrested, stripped of all military ranks, sentenced to eight years in forced labor camps, and after the end of his term to eternal exile.

Having been rehabilitated after exposing Stalin's personality cult, he began publishing again. In 1959, his story “Shch-854” was published about the fate of a simple Russian peasant in a camp. Later it became known as “One day in the life of Ivan Denisovich.”

His interest in the camp past displeased the authorities. After publication abroad he became a dissident. In 1974, after the release of his most famous novel, The Gulag Archipelago, he was arrested, deprived of Soviet citizenship and expelled from the country.

The writer returned to Russia in 1994, having flown to Magadan from the USA, where he had lived for the past few years. He was among the State Prize laureate writers. He received the award in 2007 for achievements in the field of humanitarian work.

Solzhenitsyn died in 2008 in Moscow at the age of 89.

The sculptor Shakhovsky was born in Sergiev Posad in 1928. Having moved to Moscow in his youth, he lived in the capital all his life. He was educated at the Industrial Art School, then at the Institute of Decorative and Applied Arts, and finally at the Higher Industrial Art School in Leningrad.

He was admitted to the Union of Artists of the USSR in 1955. The main thing in his work is decorative and monumental sculpture. Among his most famous works are metal doors with stained glass in the puppet theater in Tashkent, a monument to Mandelstam in Moscow, a clock on the facade of the Obraztsov Puppet Theater, and a wooden church of confessors and new martyrs in Butovo.

Received the honorary badge of State Prize laureate in 1995. He died in 2016 at the age of 88.

This is a popular Soviet and Russian public and state political figure. Evgeniy Maksimovich was born in Kyiv in 1929.

He began his career at the Institute of International Relations and World Economy and worked in the Middle East. He became involved in politics only during perestroika, first becoming a deputy of the Supreme Council.

In 1996, Primakov was appointed Minister of Foreign Affairs and began to pursue a fundamentally new policy, known today as the “Primakov Doctrine.” He moved away from Atlanticism towards a multi-vector foreign policy, advocating continued relations with North America and Europe, but at the same time independent relations with China and other countries in the Middle East and South Asia.

In 1998, Primakov headed the Russian government, leaving his post in May 1999. He was dismissed by Boris Yeltsin after serving for eight months. After that, he became a deputy of the State Duma, headed the “Fatherland - All Russia” faction, which was very powerful in the late 90s.

However, he soon left political activity, concentrating on his work as president of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry. He remained in this position until 2011.

Received the honorary badge of State Prize Laureate in 2014. A year later he died in Moscow at the age of 85.

Among the State Prize laureates there are many representatives of art. Among them is 43-year-old virtuoso pianist Denis Matsuev, who received this award in 2009.

His popularity came in 1998 after his triumph at the international Tchaikovsky competition, when he was only 23 years old. By the beginning of the 21st century, he had become one of the most popular pianists in the whole world, combining in his work the traditions of the national piano school with innovative ideas.

Since 1995 he has been a soloist of the Moscow Philharmonic. Since 2004, he began to present his own subscription called “Soloist Denis Matsuev”. Leading orchestras from our country and from abroad regularly perform with him.

In addition to creativity, he is engaged in active social activities. Known for his desire to create interest among young people in music, promoting philharmonic art in the regions. To achieve this, she pays a lot of attention to various charity programs.

In recent years, he has been the art director of the Sergei Rachmaninov Foundation. He himself manages projects and conducts festivals; one of the largest is “Stars on Baikal,” which has been held annually since 2004. This is an Irkutsk music festival, which consists of 20 concerts, as well as a large number of creative meetings and master classes. Matsuev is its artistic director.

He is also the artistic director of the annual forum of young Russian musicians Crescendo, which is considered a festival of the new generation of the Russian performing school. It takes place in the Pskov region. The festival was conceived by the Honored Artist of the Russian Federation David Smelyansky, who attracted many celebrities to cooperate.

Since 2012, Matsuev has been working as artistic director of the First International Competition and Festival of Young Pianists.

Known for his work in the All-Russian charitable foundation "New Names". The foundation has already trained several generations of artists. Now he continues to actively support young talents.

In 2008, the winner of the State Prize in the field of science and technology was the domestic programmer Evgeny Kaspersky, who is considered one of the world's leading cybersecurity experts. He owns the Kaspersky Lab company, which deals with IT security around the world.

Kaspersky himself was born in Novorossiysk in 1965. After successfully winning the Mathematical Olympiad, he was enrolled in a specialized school. In 1987, he graduated from the technical department of the KGB Higher School, where he studied cryptography, mathematics, and computer technology, receiving the specialty “mathematical engineer.”

He began his career at a research institute under the Soviet Ministry of Defense, where he became interested in computer viruses. It was in this institution that in 1989 he developed the first special utility, which was intended to cure a computer from a virus.

The first full-fledged IT security product was released in 1992. Two years later, he gained international recognition by promoting his technology abroad. In 1997, he decided to create his own company.

He led his company's cybersecurity efforts from its founding until 2007, when he focused on management work as CEO.

Today he is considered one of the world's leading experts in the field of cybersecurity and computer virus protection. In 2012, according to the authoritative American magazine Foreign Policy, he was among the hundred thinkers of the year.

In addition to the title of State Prize laureate, he has many other prestigious domestic and international awards. For example, in 2012 he received an honorary doctorate from the University of Plymouth and was included in the list of 25 leading innovators of the year.

At various times he received the "Symbol of Science" medal, the National Friendship Award of the People's Republic of China, and the "Businessman of the Year" award from the American Chamber of Commerce in Russia.

Today in the Kremlin, in an atmosphere of special solemnity, the laureates of the State Prizes in the field of science and culture were announced. It is reported that they were selected by professionals of the highest class. Award procedure
new, and the amount is larger than before. Report by NTV correspondent Vladimir Chernyshev.

The state award is becoming increasingly valuable. Starting this year, there are fewer laureates, and the size of the prize is larger. The Kremlin walls protect the secrecy of the names of the laureates until the presidential decree is promulgated. Intrigue, solemnity and material value - the state gift acquired due weight.

In the Malachite Hall of the Kremlin Palace there is only a blue glow on the monitors. Portraits of the laureates will appear on the screens only when their names are announced. Starting this year, only six prizes of five million rubles are awarded: three prizes in the field of art, three in the field of science.

The President of the Academy of Sciences Osipov and the Director of the Hermitage Piotrovsky, in order to prolong the solemnity of the moment, talked about new, more stringent criteria for selecting the most worthy.

The poet Bella Akhmadulina and the Mariinsky soprano Anna Netrebko made the task easier for the director of the Hermitage - such celebrities do not need a special introduction. Piotrovsky called Anna Netrebko a star that will shine for a long time, and about Akhmadulina he expressed himself even more metaphorically.

Mikhail Piotrovsky, Deputy Chairman of the Presidential Council of the Russian Federation for Culture and Art, Director of the Hermitage: “The 20th century begins with the name of Akhmatova. The 21st century begins with the name of Akhmadulina. It’s clear that all this is in tune.”

Bella Akhmadulina, laureate of the State Prize of the Russian Federation in the field of literature and art for 2004: “Today is Pushkin’s birthday. I was very pleased that many people called me, and before congratulating me, they congratulated me on Pushkin’s birthday.”

Novgorod restorers Ninel Kuzmina and Leonid Krasnorechyev returned the art of the 14th century to the country and recreated the church on Volotovo Field, destroyed during the war, from the ruins. This is one of the oldest Novgorod churches.

Scientific prizes required a lot of explanation. The creation of an optical-electronic space control complex solves issues of national security and even controls the movement of space debris. Located in the mountains of Tajikistan, the complex is unique in its technical achievements.

Alexander Kvasnikov, laureate of the State Prize of the Russian Federation in the field of science and technology for 2004: “Its technical capabilities that exist today make it possible to identify objects that are in space at a distance of up to 40 thousand kilometers, and their diameter is about a meter. That is, this is a high achievement today.”

If this work by Alexander Kvasnikov, Arkady Vereshkin and Valery Kolinko is of an applied nature, then the famous scientist Ludwig Faddeev was awarded a prize for theoretical work at the intersection of physics and mathematics, which opens up new facets of quantum theory.

The President of the Academy of Sciences tried to talk about how the picture of the world is changing in the laureate’s calculations, but he got carried away and almost gave a lecture on quantum particles.

Yuri Osipov, Deputy Chairman of the Russian Presidential Council for Culture and Art, President of the Russian Academy of Sciences: “Here is Ludwig Dmitrievich Faddeev, he is developing the so-called quantum theory of dispersion. This theory describes the process and result of the interaction of particles when they collide.”

Ludwig Faddev, laureate of the State Prize of the Russian Federation in the field of science and technology for 2004: “We are trying to reach the depths of the structure of matter. This is, one might say, just curiosity, but this curiosity has historically led to great achievements. And I knew that I had been nominated. I thought I had a chance of getting the prize because I’m a really good scientist.”

The discovery of Vyacheslav Molodin and Natalya Polosmak was hidden in the Altai Mountains. Excavations of complexes of the Pazyryk culture of the 3rd century BC made a new contribution to the study of the history of Eurasia. The director of the Hermitage, who himself once went to excavations, commented admiringly on the discovery of the laureates.

Mikhail Piotrovsky, Deputy Chairman of the Russian Presidential Council for Culture and Art, Director of the Hermitage: “The preservation techniques are amazing. These are mummies with amazingly beautiful tattoos. And all this was preserved. This is a brilliant takeoff of our archaeological science. And relatively recently it seemed that we had already made all the great discoveries of archeology.”

Representatives of the State Prize Council praised not only the laureates, but also their work in selecting them. Mikhail Piotrovsky briefly summed up the results.

Mikhail Piotrovsky, Deputy Chairman of the Presidential Council of the Russian Federation for Culture and Art, Director of the Hermitage: “We were pleased with who and how we chose. Thank you".

On Russia Day, June 12, at 12 noon, the laureates will be invited to the Kremlin, where they will receive awards from the hands of the president.
