The Gusi Peace Prize is a charitable foundation, an institution based in Manila, Philippines, whose main objective is to give proper recognition through the confirment of awards of excellence and distinction to individuals or groups worldwide who have distinguished themselves as brilliant exemplars of society or who contributed towards the attainment of peace and respect for human life and dignity.

The Gusi Peace Prize was established through the support of the friends of the Gusi family, who share the same mission and vision.

The mission of the Gusi Peace Prize is to champion human rights and maintain governance, democracy, equality, international peace and goodwill.

One of the outstanding laureates of Gusi Peace Prize 2011 is a well-known Russian writer, the author of the world known novel and bestseller «Anastasia» and «The Ringing Cedars of Russia» series of books http://www.vmegre.com/en/books/

Vladimir Megre was born on the 23rd July, 1950 in Ukraine

The writer began to live independently early and separately from his parents at the age of 16. Since 1974 he lived and worked in Novosibirsk. At the beginning of Perestroika in USSR Vladimir Megre was the president of Inter-regional Associations of entrepreneurs in Siberia.

In 1994–1995 he organized two large-scale trading expeditions around the river Ob by ships travelling through the route Novosibirsk — Salekhard — Novosibirsk. There, in the Siberian taiga, he first met Anastasia who has changed his life. For a long time it was a mystery for the writer’s friends and relatives what made the entrepreneur with 10 year’s work experience in this field spend all his financial capital including the property sold for the organization of the expeditions that were not covering the expenses. This mystery is exposed in the books, the main character of which is Anastasia. From the expedition Vladimir has brought something that is hard to compare with the equivalent of money.

Extraordinary!

Many significant changes influencing the world perception and lifestyle have occurred in the life of the writer after meeting Anastasia.
Today more than 10 million copies of «The Ringing Cedars of Russia» series of books have been published and sold throughout the world and within Russia alone.

Vladimir was writing book by book without hoping for appreciation. First the books were strictly criticized by press and even laughed at. But Vladimir kept on writing.

Just 4 years after the publication of another book, Co-creation, Anastasia’s words have proven to manifest in reality. Many readers of «The Ringing Cedars of Russia» series have had a huge impact by her words and have changed their lifestyle as guided by Anastasia. In this 4th installment, Co-creation, Anastasia talks about the family estates that are going to change the lives of people, the lands and the government. Today, our own eyes are a witness to this change. Indeed, a great change it is! Anastasia’s firmly rooted the true meaning of «Motherland» in our minds.
The events symbolizing the lifestyle evolution in Russia are taking place. A wonderful event is taking place! People of different beliefs, nationalities and social status are uniting into groups.

Today in Russia the readers of «The Ringing Cedars of Russia» series of books have created more than 200 settlements consisting of family estates.
The author deeply believes that our planet will have a great future!
