hello again the welcome to spotlight the interview on r.t. . today my guest in the studio is. a. cultural ties between russia and italy they back to the fifteenth century when italian architects built several cathedrals in the moscow permanent spanish and russian cultures have often been compared as standing on the western and eastern fridges the european civilization maybe that explains why two thousand and eleven is the italy russia spain hear what our we to expect from it and why these two events being held together russia's culture minister. the russian exchange will see many cultural events held in both countries there may need join to navigation and to show the similarities and differences between the

nations during the year the best italian exhibitions theater groups and musicians will be that russia and of course the favor will be returned as. this exchange will kiss you mainly economic. neglect the cultural side and will bring parts of the prado museum collection to the hermitage in st petersburg. thank you very much for some into a program today. is the year of russia in italy. why does russia think it to be a big important. i have to say it seems to me that broad they don't pay so much attention to these things i mean do you feel like that. the french were delighted by what we brought to france. of russia in france and france in russia

we showed french yeltsin culture in all their glory across russia. over your across the whole country the russians and the french were delighted. i don't know who logged more but i think it was beneficial for all of us only. last year it was around the year of russia and france and the euro france and russia this year you doubled it russia in italy and italy in russia and russia and slain in spain and russia was the reason to intensify the cultural ties to take you . there is no finance oriented plan behind this idea simply get to get acquainted with the spanish and italian cultures that we love and value. it turned out that they're waiting for us and spain and italy for all the best ballets theatrical performances and dark exhibitions. and another reason we still have the money for

its. money is coming to an end. funding investments in culture are not the same as in business they do not give direct returns. culture and intellect culture and education are the two things that form the nation's intellect. and the values of every person . culture is so important. to me information transport politics and medical care. all of them can stitch of this fear in which people live since childhood so every person has their intellects continually formed in his mind. believes. other people. run to the nearest and dearest such concepts as courage fairness on is to love to commitment to democracy and civil

society all of them are formed by the means of culture. you can't learn it by heart school study that school culture is an intellectual concept there is no culture the nation will be wealthy and prosperous if everything is all right with the economy but. russian culture is great not only because we have so many talents is it because culture is among the main values which form the mage of russia the essence of it. the essence of life in russia. i can actually speak a lot of bad. music it's a separate. a canadian was a kit for us culture is more than just an industry. some of the most outstanding art collections from italy and spain are going to be brought to russia as part of this year's cultural exchange spotlights limited me the has. the

moscow museum of fine art is a place to get the feeling of italy visitors are welcomed by the stage of michelangelo's david what's on their replica their real ones in florence king and masterpieces are already on their way to moscow to make the feeling of italy grow within these walls last year the museum hosted the biggest of a display of class so works in russia the pictures were brought to the russian capital from paris is part of the cultural exchange with france the exhibition was such a success you had to queue for an hour to get inside the museum. this year you have curvier i'd shown this boy thrown out of his works in moscow at the moment so the exhibition is bound to draw crowds it was good to talk until. caravaggio exhibit is very hard to put together but not so many of his works a left in italy in exchange for caravaggio where sending

a very good collection of impressionists to milan at court. russia will also swap art with spain the bulk of it will be between the trades prado and simple is brooks hermitage moscow who is going to send one of its most precious masterpieces because who is growing the ball to spain and who host an exhibition of the best known of surrealists so her dog dolly by mere court so many exhibitions of salvador dali around the world have nothing to do with dali at all his works are excessively counterfeited but our exhibit will be one hundred percent authentic it's from dolly's famous museum in catalonia with the. exchange in exhibitions is just part of what's planned for the russian italy in russia spain course culture here the bolshoi theater is going to host some of the major events at the moment it's in the final stages of her innovation and by the end of the year russians are going to see

performances by milan's le scholar and madrid's royal theater in the war schori. what would you say is more interesting in a cross cultural exchange of this kind these two italians for example go to a rebellious and they would be the both theater or say a tree fall balance or chukchi that the. city or the most we should ask italians about it judging by the very questions very interested in everything with from. chair health scheme as well as rushes of a god and post of a god artists to your post on that for example the. days of italy will open with a beautiful exhibition of alexander de necco. who was underestimated who all italians consider him a genius he knew his exhibition will open in russia and be transported to magic paris and other countries who want to see. is there any use in this cultural

exchange. for example while the euro frowns i'm not speaking about financial profit but was the practical use of it. because the benefit is great we're drowning in a sea of markets valleys numbers on the flow of information but on the masterpieces of the culture created in russia in france falls in the background. so we can refresh our memory by looking at the best masterpieces from both countries here it's great to have the opportunity both for us in our friendship partners to plunge into the russian and french cultures. at the moment there is an obstacle for culture in russia just stumbled over the market but a new one that is really for it's happened in the countries of the european union and now it's happened in russia. then this country we have always evaluated the

products of culture according to their intellectual value but nowadays all products of culture have become so in market items. i say are valued by the market or price or which does not depend on the essence. or greatness of the masterpiece on the promotion it's to. the people who promote the products. by stamps real culture is being ousted by popular culture which is you do culture or simply by show business present but in certain circumstances what it's very useful to come back to the basics of russian and french culture a little skit. says alexander of the culture minister of russia spotlight will be back shortly we'll continue this interview in less than a minute stay with. are

not stopped going. back. we'll have a rally we'll sell lots of. wrong the stage will wear uniforms that damage is in the black man but very little damning the white. and they are the key to our problem are already.

knew. her. this history still keeps its secrets but now it's time to reveal that the soviet cylons keeton soon to latch onto. welcome back to spotlight i am just a reminder that my guest in the studio today is alexander the culture minister russia. will be shown in the

heritage. exhibit in the. bolshoi. highlight certain events as more important than others we did it can you name the head since we were. little is there something with thirty special so the key or would you have listed all the events i mentioned more. i would like those cultural exchange events. to pieces. i love the museum. it's one of the best museums in the world's age famously in russia. exhibitions from it's very few and we're waiting for them it's as important as. all the great painters of the italian renascence. we're also waiting for them in the pushkin museum who. was able to see how to use those

words it's always been a secret. better ask them what they like best do you really ask them or do you decide on your own what we. receive from italy. is your request from them do you have tools we ask you what we are interested in and they order from you yes they would or from us do they ask people or make calls. this way officials gathered to discuss what to order i think of the mechanism so less complicated they ask for the best we have. very quests. for the best to you and the qualities equal. a few words about languages russian italian and spanish they are an indispensable part of culture just because he has does a language constitute a large of the cultural exchange. so we've literally we've arranged

a year of the russian language and culture or the language as a part of the. we will arrange a contest for the best interpreter that it will dress translations from russian into sally and and from italian into russian or. of languages and communication of very important but i watched all the three languages russian spanish and italian and been ousted by means of market economy and soon they find themselves on the fringe of the international exchanges you mean nothing else yes with all my respect to the english language if somebody is an evil plan but a natural processes i would say. all these english is simply convenient it has become today's esperanto for use. for everyone for us. i mean that ask around so it's not exactly a language but

a means of communication business or business in for diplomats right maybe for tourists but not for anything else you see it does not spread to cultural saw us we have a great interest to tell you in and spanish languages in russia in russia because we have good schools especially since spain and italy we have strong translations schools of literary translation translation of poetry translation of serve on to among the best in our opinion. very difficult to translate poetry especially from analytical languages like it sal and spanish but nonetheless we are writing great translations the same is with the russian language preserving respect and interest of the languages of each other we preserve our own culture the world's culture and languages. more russian speaking foreigners are coming to this country. only my impression point i think it is simply your impression so russian language has the same fate in french italian spanish and being ousted by

the english language look at the number of schools where they teach different foreign languages english the number of schools with russian. unfortunately the number of such schools is decreasing. very used to seeing the ball. image of the theater painted. moscow has been planned for. some mistake in. the reconstruction the works will be finished. electrician is taking call work as musicians will move into the body. and will start working and rehearsing their. sound equipment fighting and technical equipment and they will start rehearsals that specter and we promise to open the theater and give the first performance is in the. first.

dances of last column. you see. does not mean to drop the curtain it's an opening in season to month of performances we are glad that we've agreed to be the last call and it will give the performance. director of the hermitage of st petersburg recently said in an interview to kind of paper that senior russian badly needs a museum of modern arts like the new york museum of modern art you don't have a personal. contacts business grass to be able to head. project is one quote. from the new york museum you definitely know the pompidou center in france. is really so we need such a museum there is no one to take care of it it's such

a museum was to be built forty or fifty years ago when the pompidou center was built our remember when it was opened. it was very different every one of the stands in the french made a wise thing and the museum is among the best in the world. but they did not want to create such a museum for ideological reasons and there was a famous crisis in the ninety's ninety's at the moment we're planning to build such a museum we've chosen the place and the architectural project is ready. in the city center we are hopeful that the construction will start next year where you see all the necessary approvals will so. scandalous character. of the american courts past in the us this terrorist action. after that ruling. became cautious when

sending their exhibits to the us i guess they're afraid that actually exhibits can be detained there how can this situation and. this ruling the reviewed and. cautious when they send their collections to other countries such as. france. or american partners created this situation. and it's become an obstacle in the way of a partnership in this sphere of culture a purely american situation will american situation in danger for your. point on expand to dili mounded the collection of manuscripts never been taken abroad and has been legally stored in the russian state library since one thousand nine hundred. one has legal rights for it.

americans can vent of the term spiritual rights. the moral rights yes moral rights but if so we should give away all the exhibits from our museums it's absolutely unacceptable that a common american courts were judged a state's actions according to international law actually. it's absurd to do no one in the most good called will judge the state of italy or spain because of international law forbids it. so we formed our counterparts in the u.s. department of state about our position we say that the state is extra digital by the way the us shares the provisions of the international law and i'm a ticket unfortunately the court's ruling was in favor of religious organization in a very similar allegiance organization exists in russia but. we speak about spiritual inheritance good russian religious organizations of this same religious

kind of activity have far more spiritual opportunities needs and drawing to be interested in the fate of this collection. so the situation is such that despite provisions of international law a common american courts made a ruling on this state of russia. it's a judge the right to receive russian property for the first on the u.s. territory. so if this happens pollution theoretically any exhibition or any property uncovered by diplomatic community may be arrested or american. with a bitter regrets because a diplomat we made a decision that it's like the exhibitions of russian culture really you could not be organizing the moments in the us.

unfortunately. do you expect you will be able to change this situation we've talked to the u.s. diplomats on the we are waiting now for the business of the u.s. and nobody else. they sponsor very lection can paint. the vision part in the state will realize it's a mission. and will explain to the u.s. schools and community and it is done it long time ago that the reasons are national law which we all of a. culture should not be a host in such circumstances we send our exhibitions only to the countries which give a hundred percent guarantee they will reach a connection. when we speak about italy and spain always give such guarantees. as well as pass to connive that's why there are no pretensions in. my last question about the system of education. my child goes to school

and as a parent i have certain apprehensions as to was going on there and usual secondary school school i recently read an article in a newspaper that said there's the threat of several large schools being closed in moscow. can you tell us about the situation of arts education in the russian arts education among the best in the world media it's a legacy from the zon period of russia and the soviet union but well this is. this is high level back then first of all it is to be properly financed. to preserve national traditions and the tradition of education let's take actors abroad as they are taught for two and a half years in russia we preserve the russian acting school where an actor studies for four or five years we did not join the bologna process in the. professions.

that's because it was once a study for five years to become a theater a film director. to study for four or five years should be no bachelor's and master's in these professions and the same is we've actually. preserved our traditional system and high standards of education. to finance of police and to give attention to children schools where you should supply them with good instruments teachers should be socially protected as much as teachers in secondary schools. working all of the moment. thank you very much for being with us and just a reminder that my guest in the studio was. the russian culture minister and that's it. if you. drop in i would be back with more first comments on what's going on outside russia. r.t. and take.
