Young writers in Azerbaijan have been awarded a Literature Prize by the Russian ambassador. This is the first event of its kind in the former soviet republic and was held at the Russian Embassy in Baku.
Referring to the winners, a poet Yulia Subbotina and prose writer Lachin Samadzade, Ambassador Vladimir Dorokhin, a lover and connoisseur of literature, said that Russia's policy in all countries with a Russian-speaking population is aimed at enhancing and supporting the cultural space. The diplomat explained that, fortunately, in Azerbaijan, this space is alive, and they should not worry about it.
Dorokhin said he reads all the publications concerning literature and art, including the magazine "Literary Azerbaijan."
The award is profoundly personal, containing subjective preferences, and should not be perceived as an art or the political assessment of creativity, he said.
National writer Chingiz Abdullayev also congratulated the winners and expressed the hope that it is a solid advance for those whose literary style " is a classic and literary hooliganism" in the best sense of the word. --17D—

For many actresses, the passage of time not only challenges their personal identities but also threatens their professional survival in an industry fixated on youth and conventional standards of beauty.

Despite its rich historical past in Azerbaijan, donation culture faces numerous problems in modern times. Issues such as transparency in reaching the target audience, declining public trust, and the absence of sustainable support mechanisms are major challenges in this field. Additionally, the weak promotion of donation culture prevents its broader acceptance and development within society. Both education and modern solutions are crucial to enhance the social impact of donations.
