The Russian Ясная Поляна-literary prizes now also have an 'international literature' category -- a best-translated-into-Russian award --, and they've announced the 33 longlisted titles.
(Despite the long-longlist they will not have a shortlist -- they'll just announce a winner in October.)
Among the requirements is that the winners show up for the ceremony -- interesting to see if Thomas Pynchon (who is longlisted) would consider that.
Lots of these titles are under review at the complete review. It is interesting to see what titles they consider of merit -- and a bit disappointing that are no non-European-language-writing representatives.
