Debut launched its international publishing program in 2009. Three anthologies of Debut winners in English translation have been published. French, German, Spanish, and two Chinese editions have come out while Italian and Serbian editions are under way.

The prize was established in 2000 by Andrei Skoch, the founder of the Pokolenie Foundation for humanitarian projects. Debut is coordinated by the Booker-prize winning author Olga Slavnikova. A huge database of texts by young writers has been accumulated.

Awarded annually the Debut Prize is the largest and most authoritative Russian project today spotlighting young talents. Every year Debut receives up to 50,000 submissions from across Russia and worldwide. This new generation is declaring itself with increasing confidence in all literary areas.
