demonstrate it's one of the occupy wall street protests flood the streets of the big apple with billionaire man michael bloomberg however claiming that trying to destroy the jobs of finance what good. is the headlines right now was by a russian classic right to have long been recognized as true drools a world leader yet the country's modern author is out almost unknown appalled at his guest legendary green gloria deputy director of the russian federal agency the praise for print and mass media ask why a spotlight next donati. review the latest in science technology from the realm of. the future covered.

hello again or welcome to spotlight they enter the show on r.t.i. malbrunot and today my guest on the show is a. russian writers like tolstoy and thus the esky are hugely popular in the world but unlike the great classic modern russian of the ship is almost unknown abroad one of the arguments is that the words modern writers rarely get translated what's wrong with promotion of russian literature abroad and we'll attempt to get that we're asking the deputy director of the federal russian agency for print and mass media like to believe what. publishing experts say to translation and russia leaves

much to be designed the most celebrated literature was translated into foreign languages many years ago and now the industry has almost halted recently the government has done some steps to remedy the problem these include the foundation of an institute to promote and harmonize the work of the translators and a special prize called russia can be established to recognize excellence we are going. to go out and welcome to the show thank you thank you very much for being here. first of all i want to ask you a news related question we've been hearing. in the news that your agency is becoming the principal state body supervising internet in russia well this is the web actually need government supervising what's your opinion. well.

it's not really correct in that supervisor meeting that. you know if we're talking about the technical aspects of internet it's supervised by the minister of communications because talking about the content is not supervised by anyone. probably except for the existing sets of laws study from the constitution so the propaganda of. war nationalism if a bit and we have also decide to set of laws which are super late in that propaganda of terrorism it's also forbidden. so there are a law enforcement agencies were taking care of you know all the ip addresses who are you know involved in that sort of particularly well let's get more specific there was several statements by law enforcement officials in this country in russia

and after these statements they're growing fears that the states is planning to sue restrict the freedom of internet in this country and you know what i'm talking head like we should know what the russians are reading what our cell phone know what this question is also was disputable. and all the you know streeters of population of russia are very sensitive about you know any news coming from any state border which are you know touching upon internet. because occasionally a ship but at the same time there are certain principles which still under discussion with different bodies of russian government. first and foremost. propaganda. our of terrorism. secondly our our our state our palm and is working on the new or burning state building

child pornography. and. internet communications. child pornography and we would like not only our school children not only our. children library to ban the access to that type of. of information to the but we also would like to to to ban it inside russia. and at the same time the the the the mass communication people are always. looking at any attempt to make an m member just and wars as the attempt to to you know to reduce the. somehow to affect their liberties so it's always a discussion and i don't know whether. this information about any any any

real steps to to introduce anything with the you know mass communication agenda is. adequate i doubt it and the other end of the news related question about the the competition between the print media and the online publication the great problem. around the world with print media competing with internet publications what's happening in russia what's the circulation in russia print media is a dropping or is it was standing the competition it's tropper happily so we are. we're witnessing the same process in. in russian print media. any other country in the world like united states america or western european countries it's. you know quite a noticeable drop of. printer ins and if you take into account also the the

territory of russia and. it's not easy to deliver any newspaper to a far distant place somewhere in siberia despite the fact that russia is equipped with the system of decentralized printing are sometimes it's. this issue is it's quite sensitive especially for the daily newspapers. and at the same time we are developing you know digital coverage. for television and broadcasting around russia it will be i think will succeed with or with that program by two thousand and fifteen. including you know the launch of. to the outer space of the new generation of russian communication satellites and we

i think will be. getting all our you know villages and small towns will be getting access to a broad brought internet by two seventy two thousand and seventeen i've heard of that meeting that means that. all dissidents of russia will get the access to you know electronic version of any really media i've heard is in the news the other day that by year two thousand and fifty there will be no more paper magazines and newspapers well all we talking about the competition say of paper and plastics paper and silicon or are we talking about the. appearance of a new means like the newspapers from being just and means of information are moving into internet rather becoming the communication means information it is about paper or is it about

a new way of communicating or says about the new way of communicating. you know there are two things. we have to take in consideration first that there's not that huge drop of the production of paper in the world despite of the new means of communication despite of you know the drop of the printer hands somehow printers. us too. still enjoying you know orders from advertising from all the other medias including advertising secondly. books are piece of art so they'll be a competition between other traffic book and and. paper book but both of them will be existing. as far as certain printing newspapers and magazines this should be something which will be. offering advertisers to pull the

advertising on so. what i'm talking about that. the media will be developing both ways. as part of the business and part of the culture says that a goody goody the deputy director of the russian federal agency for print and media spotlight will be back shortly after we take that breaks out with. wealthy british scientists not. time to. market why not. come to. find out what's really happening to the global economy

with max cons are a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune in to kaiser report. even the books. on the secret. life. whether it is a buddhist print. or a shamanistic make you. crossroads of to religious. faith is strong and spirit is hard. on. a very warm welcome to you this is your news today protesters on the holds true today at. least intensely

the chance to set a good mood for example the status of the human experiment is exploding with. business rap music would expose the busy lives we trying to make sense of global economy and it's all came true things as financial temples to the research scrambling to maintain our confidence in markets and taking on the primitive wants to be seen trade imbalances rhesus cheapie nations close to collapsing in some time alone foreclosed homes. to fail so we pull a balance again feel a little like think is the us crash into imminent. ceiling teams playing just like all the buses in athens greece the i.m.f. constructionism just programs increase the total economy.

welcome back to spotlight i'm aware of and just to remind you that my guest in the studio today is led to mitigate the good he of deputy director of the russian federal agency for print and mass media. lattimer well let's talk about literature i know that your latest interest as an individual is translations translations of lush russian literature into foreign languages i know that you you you run a news conference recently introducing a new institute of translations out of a summit institution rather that will be responsible for that does that mean that there is a serious revival of interest to russian literature around the world or you want to promote such a. well there was always a certain interest of russian literature around the world. but. the problem is if you're getting. to be any bookstore whether you are in new york or in paris you certainly are

certainly you know sort of meeting the books by tolstoy or does the u.s. effort. sometimes you're also getting somebody in or sold units in the past or not. which is not the case with the more than russian literature only you know a dozen of russian writers who are. the first probably russian writers have been translated and the foreign languages are are. there are several you know. the problems that. we're facing that the moment one of that is the. lack of infrastructure i mean by even sort of fiction if you were talking about the action force for talking about things. we're talking about fiction we're talking about politics we're talking about. we're talking about

russian currently three processes so first is the lack of written infrastructure. by the lack of infrastructure i mean that there is no especial likely to region says no literary agent or literary agents working with the russian literature secondly it's always risky to publish new names so what we're trying to do just to set up we've just set institution which will be supporting. both the status and publishers the translation from the russian language into the foreign languages and the publishers would like to respond to to introduce the new name. of the rational thought oh oh. this institution will be also organized in seminars will be organizing specialized schools for sloppiest for linguists who would like to

deep they're not the church in the russian language and russian literature will facilitate their meeting with the. russian or thirds and all the russian institutions linguistic institutions what currently involved in promoting. recently will couple minutes ago when talking about the future of books he said that that that that lies and to roots because it's a piece of art and because it's a business well selecting the books that should be translated what's your main principle and so i think is that it is a business or it or is it there to stick quality. or both both both sometimes it's difficult but you know if you ask me as they represent of the russian you know governmental office i would say i would like to set up a direct communication between russian publishers and foreign publishers and set up you know

a business route of if you're talking to me or see the military i'm with the person who was in the publishing business for twenty years and then. been a reader and admirer of literature as well as. the organizer of the biggest russian literary wharton wrote in here. i would say. about art well actually russia was this year's market focus country at the london book fair spotlights you know the me there has more and this attempt to impress british readers with new names in russian literature. my deep down to dull story does the yes and jack of. this state is up to guests to rule not to footie three hundred there would be hundred russian writers and seventy publishers. what tended were intent on promoting the merits of a much more contemporary brand of russian literature the fair featured authors well

known in their homeland as well as up and coming contributors showcasing a cross-section of more than literature abroad is just one way for russia to promote its writers another one is encouraging translators to deal with books when you were with us to help the process along the russian federal agency for going to mass media this founded the institute of translation this will hand out grants for to slay sions from russian into other languages and you writers expect priority to be given to english in the belief this is the best way to promote more than russian literature globally books published in britain or the us i get in reviews in english language magazines they scouts grab their attention up their reading public knew names own side those story to stay up stay in check of do the least of russian must reads.

after the b.b.c. radio launched a series based on a silly grossman's life and fate this book became well a great hit in the end london had in there and it and had a head and you united kingdom bookstores well will russia use this opportunity to to to sustain sustained interest. com. i would say that it's not it's not just the. event introduced by b.b.c. if we're talking about. adaptation of any great novel we have probably the same effect anywhere in the world if you remember a couple of years ago the russians of a vision make the dictation of a series. by the city of city and then you know fathers of russian you know readers. went to the bookstores to to buy this idea to buy the book so it's

it's you know all these tie ins very effective in promoting reading promoting books promoted to shame promoting reading so if you ask me would i like to. make a serious on. on the contemporary great russian novels with b.b.c. i would certainly love to use them but promotion adaptation as he has said is all of the stereotypes it's largely about creating stereotypes now after this b.b.c. series the brits are calling grossman grossman's no novel the greatest russian novel of the twentieth century well what's wrong with good old dr zhivago what's wrong with with leo tolstoy who wrote in the twentieth century as well as the nineteenth century is it fair creating a new stereotype to promote something new and said well i mean instead of the good all things you know what. i would put it the other way if if people read

if any piece of art. even the reader show. stimulating people to to read them. let's discuss the ratings and the waters. with the people read on the do not treat because the problem of promotion of reading is. evident both for the united kingdom and russia as well. we are trying to do. to take a lot of you know experience from from non-governmental organization of the united kingdom to promote reading specifically. schoolchildren. this is a big problem for european civilization the new generation is not very eager to read literature you know somebody told me that if one of the main. main standards for for the state of economy of the country is is the rate of the sales

of new cars one of the main standards for. two to value the the state of literature in the country is it is it possible to live and writing in a country so a russian writer and russian author if he of course he's not writing cheap detective stories can you live in it. that's a good question. may i ask you whether the american writer or british writer can relieve only on his. own his role through the i don't know and i'll tell you why because they're probably they probably they all are professors at university exactly thanks exactly so if you're thinking only ten twelve twenty bestselling authors in any country they can leave and sustain you know the living standards on their altars. if you're talking about the big

literature. i doubt it i doubt that any any big literary name is. not doing something else for his living. working as a professor as a consultant. another interesting thing about about translations you said we're talking about fiction about poetry but. thousands and maybe millions of people. around the world get their knowledge about russian about russian culture russian history by reading books by authors abroad who don't have the best knowledge about about what they're writing there are lots of russian history book russian books in russian culture that need to be translated into languages is that a girl you're setting for yes exactly exactly. if you're talking about nonfiction it's the same goal as as a fiction are as well as. you know

promoting our best scholars to be translated into the foreign languages on there are certain areas in the world which which are asking us to provide us to provide with the. with tags books with science books with encyclopedias on there. and we're trying to to to promote our scholars abroad as as well as big writers you mentioned e-books. distributed. in the internet as one of the means of quick distribution and sharing of information but if i'm not mistaken prime minister putin recently declared a war on free distribution of of all books in the internet is russia going to sort of try to to put purple third regulations didn't. principled and never

declared they were against internet and the did i met yeah yeah i limited access to it he had a meeting with the russian book could union which is. association of russian publishers who were actually put on what they'd put it would likely they would like to get something from from abandoned c. of offers from different you know. sites and internet introducing free of. for free and any russian or for any any piece. of literature so the. problem question is that how to fight to get in piracy how to organize the law enforcement to get in part in the help of internet and. i will prime minister understands the issue and he he's introduced just a special governmental commission on you know define intellectual property as well

. that pertains to sort of distribution movies through tolerance and abuse in the literature as well ok thank you thank you very much for being with us today and just a reminder that my guest on the show wasn't like you know the guardian deputy director of the russian federal agency for print and last week and that's it for now from all of us here spotlight we'll be back with more on tom and. in russia until then playing party and take.

great. to be a little. girl. a

decade after the invasion of afghanistan and the u.s. commander stanley mcchrystal says america's only around hald way towards completing its me the true goals with it frighteningly simplistic understanding of the country partly to blame. the interim government to see this is in the lead and launch the biggest the time period one a penalty down his last remaining stronghold so bad but they stick resistance. and go over the rule of balance is gaining momentum in new york as demonstrations from the occupy wall street protests blood the streets of the beat down. next to an archie beyond the want to show a decade old from the start of the war in afghanistan the show asked why u.s. forces are still that.
