The Literary Forum was organised by the International Forum “Golden Knight”, the Union of Russian Writers, Federal Agency for Press and Mass Communications, as well as the Publishing Council of the Russian Orthodox Church.  

Laureates will be presented with the awards at a ceremony on 15 October in Moscow. Due to the coronavirus pandemic travel restrictions, awards will only be presented to authors from the Russian Federation, while the other award-winners will receive them at a later date.
 
The Russian edition of “The Fall of the Night Falcon” has already found its place in military schools and academies, important educational, scientific and cultural institutions of the Russian Federation, scientific and intellectual circles, as well as among the general readership in the Russian-speaking area.
