of an original piece of fiction for his short stories "Minu Taani onuke"
and "Tuhk". Andrei Ivanov is an alumnus of the TU Institute of Slavonic

Russian language. Both short stories were published in volume 8/9 of

Ross. Ivanov's autobiographic short stories look at the life of the last
Soviet generation in exile and also display pictures of earlier life in
Estonia.In the category of a translation of fiction, the laureates are Heli
Allik, editor-in-chief of Tallinn University Press for the translation of
Luis-Ferdinand C茅line鈥檚 novel "Voyage au bout de la nuit" into Estonian

k盲tte"). Heli Allik was recognised for translating one of the most
significant French authors of the 20th century, whose use of language is
very innovative and whose texts are influential but also very complicated.

some time, but these published collections are remarkable achievements,
compared to other poetry translations of 2010.The laureates were elected by
a jury of five people: Rein Raud, Kalju Kruusa, Daniele Monticelli, Linda
