I don't understand Mikhail Shishkin's logic in this case.
Is he going to return the prize he got as the winner of the National Book
Competition "Bol'shaya kniga"? It is organized by "Центр поддержки
отечественной словесности", where Председатель Совета "Центра" -
заместитель руководителя Федерального агентства по печати и массовым
коммуникациям <http://www.fapmc.ru/> Владимир
Григорьев<http://bigbook.ru/uchreditel/index.php> ,
and the oligarkh Roman Abramovich (the one who owns the Chelsey Soccer Club
and whose yacht, bigger than life, is reported to have docked in NY a few
days ago) is one of the founders?
And Shishkin has lived in Switzerland since 1995...
