International Booker Prize to be renamed after Dmitry Bukhman

The International Booker Prize will be renamed the Bukhman International Booker Prize, following a significant funding commitment. Bukhman Philanthropies, a charitable foundation established by Russian-born entrepreneur Dmitry Bukhman and his wife Daria, has pledged to finance the prestigious literary award for a decade. This change reflects the substantial philanthropic support aimed at ensuring the prize's continued operation and its mission to celebrate outstanding international fiction translated into English. The new designation marks a notable evolution for the esteemed literary accolade.
