regarding the results of the competition, jury member boris berezovsky said afterwards on russian radio:"i’m not satisfied with the results of the competition. our beloved frenchman lucas debargue who deserved as a minimum a bronze, in my opinion even silver, was shifted to the fourth. surprisingly, it was the decision of non-russian jury members… we, russian members of the jury, loved and supported him. however, the foreign members of the jury didn’t accept him. they kept saying that he is unprofessional and pushed him down with all conceivable means, fair or unfair.""the spectator" remarked:"in [a] movie debargue would come first rather than fourth (i.e. last). but that doesn’t matter, because in the eyes of the public he was the real winner. the moscow music critics association thought so, too, awarding him their prize…""the telegraph" commented:"[debargue] picked up the most junior prize but also won the critics’ award, always a good sign of who the really interesting pianist is."
