Writers from all over the world will be invited to Kazan to create works about the city
KZN.RU
(KZN.RU,
May 4, Alsu Safina). Kazan will become the main hero of works of writers from
different cities and countries. Ilsur Metshin, the Mayor of Kazan, presented a
new project today during the ceremony of presenting the International Golden
Apple award.
The Mayor
said that this idea belongs to the famous Russian writer Ildar Abuzyarov. “He
suggested that the Kazan Municipality invite writers to visit, following the
example of how it is done in many countries of the world but for some reason,
it has not been practiced in Russia yet”, noted I. Metshin. “It is about giving
writers from different cities and countries an apartment for a month or two and
small grants for writing works, which main character will be Kazan”.
“We will
implement the project with great pleasure”, I. Metshin added and invited the
guests of the ceremony to become participants of the project, including members
of the delegation of the International Federation of Journalists and Writers
writing about tourism (FIJET).
