new, and the amount is larger than before. Report by NTV correspondent Vladimir Chernyshev.

The state premium is becoming more and more valuable. Since this year, there are fewer laureates, and the size of the award is larger. The Kremlin walls guard the secret of the names of the laureates until the promulgation of the presidential decree. Intrigue, solemnity and material value the state gift has acquired due weight.

In the Malachite Hall of the Kremlin Palace, there is only a blue glow on the monitors. The portraits of the winners will appear on the screens only when their names are announced. Since this year, only six prizes of five million rubles each have been awarded: three prizes in the field of art, three in the field of science.

The poet Bella Akhmadulina and the soprano of the Mariinsky Theater Anna Netrebko made it easy for the Director of the Hermitage such celebrities need no special introduction. Piotrovsky called Anna Netrebko a star that will shine for a long time, about Akhmadulina he expressed himself even more metaphorically.

Mikhail Piotrovsky, Deputy Chairman of the Presidential Council for Culture and Art, Director of the Hermitage: “The 20th century begins with the name of Akhmatova. XXI century begins with the name of Akhmadulina. It is clear that this is all consonant."

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 also congratulated Pushkin on his birthday.

Novgorod restorers Ninel Kuzmina and Leonid Krasnorechiev returned the art of the 14th century to the country, recreated from the ruins the church on the Volotovo field destroyed in the war. This is one of the oldest Novgorod temples.

Alexander Kvasnikov, winner 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 determine 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 of Alexander Kvasnikov, Arkady Vereshkin and Valery Kolinko is of an applied nature, then the famous scientist Ludwig Faddeev was awarded the 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 got carried away and almost gave a lecture on quantum particles.

Yuri Osipov, Deputy Chairman of the Council for Culture and Art under the President of the Russian Federation, President of the Russian Academy of Sciences: “Here is Ludwig Dmitrievich Faddeev, he develops the so-called quantum theory of scattering. This theory describes the process and result of the interaction of particles in their collision.

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. It can be said to be just curiosity, but this curiosity has historically led to great achievements. And I knew that I was nominated. I thought I had a chance of getting the prize because I'm a really good scientist."

The discovery of Vyacheslav Molodin, Natalia 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.

Mikhail Piotrovsky, Deputy Chairman of the Council for Culture and Art under the President of the Russian Federation, Director of the Hermitage: “The methods of preservation are amazing. These are mummies with tattoos of amazing beauty. And all this was saved. This is a brilliant rise of our archaeological science. And relatively recently, it seemed that we had already made all the great discoveries of archeology.

Representatives of the Council for State Prizes praised not only the laureates, but also their work on their selection. Mikhail Piotrovsky summed up briefly.

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

Predecessor Prizes

The tradition of awarding outstanding people the title of laureate of the State Prize appeared in the Soviet Union. This tradition was introduced in 1967, since then it has been timed to coincide with 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 Vasilievich Smolyakov, literary critic Irakli Luarsabovich Andronnikov, composers Andrey 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

Laureates of the State Prize 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, a dress coat.

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

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

From the very beginning, the selection and approval of candidates was carried out by a specially created committee on State Prizes, which was headed by the President of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Yuri Sergeevich Osipov. After reviewing the work of the candidates, the members of the committee formulated a general decision, which was approved by decrees of the President of Russia.

Since 1996, in addition to the above awards, 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 national feat and outstanding domestic commanders. The assignment of this award was timed to the Victory Day - May 9th.

Laureate Attributes

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

In particular, the badge of honor of the laureate of the State Prize of the Russian Federation is awarded. This is a medal made on the model of the earlier medal of the laureate of the USSR State Prize. The bar of the breastplate of the laureate of the State Prize of the Russian Federation is colored Russian flag.

Privileges

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

• completely exempt from payment of housing and communal services;
• receive the right to free treatment with the provision of all necessary medicines;

It is appointed 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, the DMO is established only for one of them, which provides for the maximum amount.

History of the State Prizes of the Russian Federation

In the Russian Federation, the system of State Prizes was formed in 1992-1993. By order of the President of the Russian Federation Boris Yeltsin dated June 5, 1992, the State Prizes of the Russian Federation in the field of science and technology were established. They were awarded annually on the proposal of the Committee on State Prizes of the Russian Federation in the field of science and technology under the Government of the Russian Federation (since September 30, 1992 - the commission of the same name under the President of the Russian Federation) for a significant contribution to the development of natural, humanitarian and technical sciences. Laureates of the State Prize received a diploma, a badge of honor and a certificate, as well as cash payment in the amount of 100 thousand rubles. Since 1995, due to the growth of inflation, it began to be calculated in terms of the minimum wage (minimum wage). Initially, the premium was 1,500 minimum wages, in 1999 its size was increased to 3,000 minimum wages. The team of applicants nominated for the State Prize should not exceed eight people. The award could be given posthumously.

On November 10, 1993, by decree of the President of the Russian Federation Boris Yeltsin, the State Prizes of the Russian Federation in the field of literature and art were established, which were awarded for the most talented works, "which are a significant contribution to the artistic culture of Russia." The presentation of applicants for the award was prepared by the commission under the President of the Russian Federation established by the same decree. Authorial teams of up to 10 people were allowed to be awarded, the same author was nominated in two or more nominations, one prize was awarded simultaneously to two creative teams, and posthumous awards were presented. The size of the State Prize was the same as that of the Prize in the field of science and technology.

From 1995 to 2004, the State Prizes of the Russian Federation for young scientists were awarded annually in Russia for outstanding work in the field of science and technology.
