Legacy or competition for the rich

Honestly, this is the first time I have encountered a situation where, in order to participate in a poetry competition and fiction a property qualification has been established. I didn’t really read the terms of the Heritage competition and immediately decided that everyone could participate in it, and then those who were nominated for this competition could publish their works in the almanac at their own expense. It couldn’t occur to me that first you need to deposit money and only then can you participate in the competition. So I sent two of my works, passed the qualifying round and gasped that I needed to pay 51 thousand rubles. until March 21 and deferred payment is not acceptable. I can’t afford to pay this amount, and I quit the race.

But, probably, this insult made me think about whether this competition is being conducted correctly. Can you imagine that royal family asked Yesenin to pay for her invitation? No, of course, I am far from Yesenin, I do not pretend to be a genius, but the principle itself is important. Her Highness Grand Duchess Maria Vladimirovna reads only the works of the rich, or what?

***
It seems to me that some symbolism is violated in such a production. If a tree grows into the ground with its roots, then a person grows into native land generations of their ancestors. The history of our country is part of our soul. Our roots are in Kievan Rus, but all subsequent eras have found a place in our hearts as part of the Russian soul. A special role was played by the 19th century, the golden age of Russian literature, and in it the story of Pushkin, who not only wrote himself, but also had a biography that could compete with a fascinating novel. Pushkin died in a duel, saving his honor. And he wasn’t the only one who fought duels to save his honor. The 19th century largely shaped our concept of honor as such. But the life of society of that era is connected by many associations with the house of the Romanovs. We read about Pushkin's complex relationship with the Tsar, about balls, about etiquette, and even about the culinary successes of the Tsar's chefs, and all this is part of our Russian soul. Russian identity does not depend on the thickness of our wallets. If this competition were held under a different name, then God bless it! But “heritage” is a sacred word. This is what people receive from their ancestors and must pass on to their descendants; this is from the category of spiritual values. But spiritual values are still not measured by the thickness of a wallet.

It is humanly clear to me that literature in our time can only exist at the expense of authors, that because of the Internet, paper publications are read less and less, that it is possible that Her Highness the Grand Duchess cannot see well and has to print large print that all this was planned out of good intentions.

But it still touches a nerve. In my opinion, it is necessary to either change the name so that the holy word does not refer to the thickness of a wallet, or print the almanac on cheaper paper so that the publication of one’s works would be accessible to mere mortals, or first hold a competition and then publish the nominated works.

The House of Romanov is a piece of our symbolism, an integral part of Russia, a kind of museum of our history, which decorates and enlivens this history and state. And what will this symbolism look like if the head of this house refuses to read someone’s brilliant work and will give preference to the worst work simply because it was written by a rich man? This fact itself is perceived as some kind of attack on this symbolism.

We are not writing for awards or congratulations. We want to be heard. And I sent my works not for the sake of a prize, but to be heard. But if prizes are established, in my opinion, they should not discriminate against authors if those, in the words of Catullus, “have a wallet overgrown with cobwebs.”

Rich and poor, we are still one people, we still have general history and general symbolism, and there is something sacred in this symbolism and should not be taken lightly.

In my opinion, this competition format is not suitable. Still, royalty does not manifest itself in the quality of paper and cover. Still, content is more important than expensive paper.
