The Tigran Keosayan Prize will go to Anapa, where the tragedy occurred on February 11

RT editor-in-chief Margarita Simonyan in February 2026 established an award in honor of her deceased husband, director Tigran Keosayan. And on Wednesday, February 11, according to TASS, the next recipient of the award became known.

We are talking about the family of a college security guard in Anapa, who died as a result of an attack on an educational institution.

Margarita Simonovna previously stated that she was inspired to create the award by the act of teachers from a kindergarten in Buguruslan, who heroically defended the children. An inadequate armed man with a knife came to the kindergarten, but the women protected the wards and tied up the attacker.

If we talk about the Anapa events, then the guard took the blow of the teenager who opened fire. The man also managed to call law enforcement officers.
