Chairman of the Union of Theater Workers of Russia Alexander Kalyagin spoke about the proposals of the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation to adjust the foundations of the state cultural policy. The statement appeared on the STD website.
“Its authors directly and unambiguously state that state support for culture and education is impossible without establishing additional control,” the theater director believes, recalling that “we went through all this.”
Kalyagin draws attention to the fact that the text of the project says that “everything that is not related to the preservation of traditional values is not necessary, moreover, it is forbidden.” “Survived! Control, control, control,” laments the head of the STD.
In this regard, the famous actor wonders how the culture will develop. “How, then, with the control that is being prepared, or simply put, censorship, will a creative experiment be carried out,” Kalyagin is indignant, emphasizing that “art is a reflection of life, with its shortcomings and virtues.”
The artist is also concerned about how “the current foundations of the state cultural policy and the proposed document will correlate.” “The feeling is strange and a little scary,” he concluded.
Note that the draft document is currently under discussion.
