On 27 December 2006, the 174th anniversary of the founder of the Tretyakov Gallery, the first ever winners of the new Pavel Tretyakov Prize were honoured and received their awards. The list of laureates was announced by a group of Tretyakov Gallery staff, each of whom has worked in the gallery for over half a century. These were the Tretyakov Gallery Deputy Director Lydia Iovleva, Head of the Graphic Art Department Evgenia Plotnikova and Manuscripts Department Senior Expert Natalia Priymak.
