The Russian Booker Prize, is a Russian literary award modelled after the Booker Prize and inaugurated in 1992. Now established as the country's premier literary prize, it is awarded to the best work of fiction written in the Russian language each year as decided by a panel of judges, irrespective of the writer's citizenship. From 2002 to 2005 Open Russia NGO was the general sponsor of the Booker Literary Prize in Russia, leading to its name change into the "Booker-Open Russia Literary Prize". Before the announcement of the 2005 winner, the Booker Foundation decided to end its partnership with Open Russia because Open Russia's chairman, Mikhail Khodorkovsky, was sentenced to nine years in prison for tax evasion.
