In addition to several writing awards, Olgerd Bakharevich received one completely unusual award for Dogs of Europe - the specially established Reading Prize, which grateful fans awarded him for "raising modern Belarusian literature to a whole new level."

And the happily bilingual author, as if wanting to consolidate his occupied height, re-wrote his novel, making it the property of a wider readership - Russian-speaking.
