The Chairman of the pro-governmental Union of Writers has accused the Nobel committee of politicization.

There are writers in Russia and in Belarus who can easily qualify for Nobel Prize for Literature, the chairman of the pro-governmental Union of Writers of Belarus Mikalay Charhinets believes.

The last year’s award was won by the author of non-fiction books Svetlana Alexievich. She became the first Belarusian, awarded such prize.

“We have hundreds of writers whose talent is greater than the one of Alexievich. Alexievich is not a writer, she is a journalist. Previously, it was easy to predict which work can claim the prize. Today, taking into account the politicization of the Nobel Committee, it is difficult to make forecasts, as now political views and political situation in a given country are taken into consideration in the first place,” – nn.by quotes Charhinets.

The name of the next winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature will be announced on October 6.
