Russian writer Sachar Prilepin has suggested creating a new literary prize as an alternative to the Nobel Prize in Literature. He wants to work with countries like China, India, Latin America, and Africa. Prilepin thinks the Nobel Prize has problems and gives awards for bad reasons.

This year's Nobel Prize went to Hungarian writer László Krasznahorkai, who strongly criticizes Russia about the Ukraine war. Prilepin is a famous Russian author who wrote many books. He also worked as a war reporter and soldier in Donbass since 2014.

Someone tried to kill him in 2023. He supports Russia's war in Ukraine and thinks Russia should work more with Global South countries instead of Western countries.
