Everything is better, both better and better

As Minister Olga Lyubimova achieved an unprecedented rise in culture

It seems that winter will never end. There are no good news in the country that stanks between the arms race and a hound of mutations. Only the reports of high officials to the president are interrupted by bad infinity. The list of good deeds of power is inexhaustible, which is why eternal spring reigns here.

The fact that Russian culture is on an inaccessible rise, I was surprised to learn from a working meeting in the Kremlin Putin with Lyubimova. Olga Borisovna was on the blow. She was in a hurry to bring to the high interlocutor information about the numerous victories of her department - from a violent restoration of cultural monuments to a stormy touring schedule of the Pyatnitsky choir.

The list of personal Victoria Lyubimova interspersed with hot gratitude to Putin for everything-from Pushkin’s cards to the music competition to the 150th anniversary of Sergei Rachmaninov.

There could even be poured in doubt: who commands the culture? They could, but did not crept - the speaker reached the cinema. In this area, its successes, as it turned out, are the most impressive. Especially the minister for some reason excited the film “Silver Skates”, which is included in the tops of Mexico.

The theme of the cinema hit the living and Vladimir Vladimirovich.

"And what about Lenfilm?" He asked. Lyubimova shuddered with happiness: "With Lenfilm, everything is better and better."

The picture of future prosperity was crowned with the highest achievement: "We have supported three new films." The figure alerted me. Put the video for a pause, ducked into the network, where she easily discovered the desired statistics. Twenty years ago, when the studio was already in the ruins, 43 films were released. Now, when pumping with budget billions, it is only 3. It is strange that neither the president nor the minister were surprised at the modesty of the result.

Although no, not strange. Not for that, the genre of workers from the attribute of the parquet chronicle turns into the supreme genre of Russian reality in order to bring the truth to the masses. These are the new “Kuban Cossacks”, designed to distract the electorate from sad thoughts.

The art of the report becomes the most important of the arts.

The zone is free from Skabeevsky’s aggression dominant in society. If conflicts happen, then only between good and the best. The style of working reports depends, of course, on the personality of the speaker. Sergei Sobyanin (met with the president after the Minister of Culture) - leisurely and significant. Olga Lyubimova is swift and fussy. And one result is excellent. Of course, we knew that everything was fine in Moscow, but we did not know how good it was. A similar situation is in culture.

Nevertheless, such meetings are useful. You begin to understand: the culture from the beloved and the culture in general - two things are almost inconvenient. What is happening in this area has long requires a special conversation. In the heat of the struggle with the outside world, Russia even ceased to be proud of its achievements such as "and also in the field of ballet we are ahead of the entire planet." The topic pops up only as an eyeliner to television reports about Putin's meeting with Lyubimova. Like, the main concern of the state is "the preservation and increase of the wealth of Russian culture." But to whom, if not the minister, to know: in the sphere entrusted to her, the spirit is more important than matter. You can, of course, cover the president with colored pictures, as Olga Borisovna did. You can admire the performance of the Dagestan ensemble "Lezginka" in Chelyabinsk, or the All -Russian touring plan, or model libraries. However, the minister does not have the right not to understand the essence of the current tragedy: the epidemic of simplification with the speed of Covid destroys culture. By the way, her report is also a victim of such a simplification.

Of course, the epidemic began not with Olga Borisovna. Even on the verge of centuries, Mikhail Kozakov proposed to replenish the Nagornaya sermon of the eleventh commandment: not tired. The gift of simplified interpretation in cultural society began to be appreciated above the rest of the gifts. The banner was television, but the rest also quickly pulled themselves up.

If Alfred Schnita is remembered, then exclusively for the praise of Bari Alibasov, who is called the Sunnish of Russian popes.

If they spoke outside the anniversary of Pushkin (in the “three chords”, and where else?), Then the host Averin represents Rosenbaum as a man who sang Petersburg no less than Alexander Sergeyevich.

Total disrespect for the death of famous people is also a consequence of the impressive primitiveness of thinking. The other day, Anastasia Voznesenskaya died - an actress, a teacher, a big clever, a person how powerful, so unrealized talent. Everyone reported a cardinal: played the episodic role of the director of the market in the film "Garage". Primitiveness provokes ignorance. If the composers are remembered, then Khrennikov and the Theologian will certainly confuse. If the wonderful screenwriter Anatoly Grebnev is suddenly mentioned, then they will be dubbed by Naum and show him in the photo of Leo Kulidzhanov. The latter, in turn, will be taken for Marlene Khutsiev. This mournful leaf is inexhaustible.

Film people of cultures are the best scenario basis for multi -part scandals: Zykina, Gurchenko, Bystitskaya, Dzhigarkhanyan, Batalov, Grad and others (this mournful leaf is already very infinite). Distributing after death by illegitimate children, sudden spouses, debts, treasures, they will remain in public space specialists in squabbles with the closest relatives and submit real estate.

The greats leave, but with the small trouble.

This is what the latest culture news looks like.

• Prokhor Chaliapin is involved in the death of his 118th or 119th wife;

• Elena Proklova shares the details of the stroke from the resuscitation chamber;

• The not quite sober Volochkova rowlars in the plane, not wanting to wear a mask.

Only they give the precious watches of Prime-Time.

I understand: not according to the rank of beloved every Malakhov to instruct the true path.

But it is impossible not to notice the cultural hell. Moreover, it is quite man -made.

The context is not least formed with the light hand of the Ministry of Culture. And it firmly fit into the vertical of the authorities that it is engaged in mainly by mastering the budget. An exciting occupation takes away strength and time. I have never heard that one of the ministerial oracles was concerned about a leakage of creative minds. On the contrary, the vertical welcomes the leak. The minds do not want to be judged, planted, forbidden, let them roll, anywhere.

During the 1968 revolution, Sartra was detained at the Paris rally. They detained, but not planted. De Gaulle will later say: "France does not plant volters."

Well, Russia will not study from some France there? Why do we need Voltaires when we have Chaliapin. He seems to be going to marry again.

And while Prokhor does not intend to get rid of the next contender, the Russian culture will definitely not be in the news.
