“There is such a concept as ‘people’s diplomacy’ in China. It translates into Russian as universal human relations at unofficial level. China is therefore greatly interested in the Far East and its border regions; the people of China study the works of Vasily Shukshin and Konstantin Paustovsky for comprehending their neighbor,” the award’s curator noted.
The expert also added that books about nature were highly popular on China’s domestic market. According to Kosygin, the people of China believe that they have failed to preserve their country’s pristine nature; this is why they like to write and read about the nature of Russia’s Far East so much.
