zone free blow against cloning videos for your media projects a free media gun to our teeth dot com. hello again a welcome to spotlight the infamy show on r t i'm now going on and today my guest on the show is of like the american people what. russian writer is like so starting just the esky are hugely popular in the uk but i like the great process more than rushing the ship is almost unknown abrupt one of the arguments is that the word solve problem writers rarely get translated what's wrong with promotion of russian if the shrub wrong and will it's have i get that we're asking the deputy director of the federal russian agency for prints and mass media like you know the book.

publishing experts to be translation in russia leaves much to be designed the most celebrated literature was translated into foreign languages many years ago and now the industry has almost whole to recently begun which has done some steps to remedy the problem facing through the. it's a chance to promote and harmonize the work of the translators and special prize calls russia is toughest to recognize the are still. going to go to work into 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 is 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.

sort through the correct not surprisingly internets. you know if we're talking about the technical aspects of internet and supervised by the minister of communications because talking about the content is not supervised by anyone. probably except for the existing set of laws starting from the constitution so be propaganda of. were rational isn't there for a bit and we have also the subtle subtle laws which are or stipulating that the propaganda of terrorism and source of forbidding. so no law enforcement agencies were taking care of you know all the ip addresses who are you know involved in that sort of privilege let's get more specific there were several statements by law enforcement officials in this country in russia and after

these statements there are growing fears that the states is planning to sue restrict the freedom of internet in this country if you know what i'm talking about like we should know what the russians are reading what. you know what this question is also was despicable. and all be you know straight as a population of russia are very sensitive about you know any news coming from any state border which you know touching upon the internet as. a communications issue but at the same time there are certain principles which is still under discussion with different bodies of russian government. first and foremost. from propaganda. of terrorism.

secondly. the. parliament is working on the new war on the building state building child pornography. and. internet is to be a communication so good sense in child pornography and we would like not only all school children not only. through library to get the access to that type of law of information to subvert we also would like to try to ban it inside russia. and at the same time be the be the mass communication people are always. looking at any attempt to make an m member just in wars as the attempt to to you know to reduce the. two 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 in other in other 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 and the dropping or is it was standing the competition stopper happily so we are. we're witnessing the same process in them in russian print media. any other country in the world like united states america or western european countries it's a. you know what

a noticeable drop of. print friends and if you take into account thought so be the character of russia. it's not easy to deliver emily newspaper to a far distant the police somewhere in savior 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're developing you know digital coverage. for television and broadcasting around russia and it will be i think will succeed with or with that program by two thousand and fifteen. including you know the launch of worms.

to the outer space of a 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 grow brought in from the two seventy two thousand and seventeen i've heard of this meeting that means that. all dissidents of russia will get the access to you know electronic version of any written media i've heard in the news the other day that's by year two thousand and fifty there will be no more paper magazines and newspapers well oh are we talking about the composition 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 communication information it isn't about paper

or is it about a new way of communicating also it's about when we've communicating our. you know there are two things to ask this we have to take incarceration first but there's not that huge drop of production of people in the world despite of the new means of communication despite of. the drop of the cream trans somehow printers are still. still enjoying you know waters from the tide from all the other medias including advertising secondly. books are a piece of art so they'll be a competition between the exotic book and the. paper book but both of them will be existing. as far as some printing newspapers and magazines this should be something which will be. offering advertisers to pull the

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

with a much stronger or a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune in to cause report on r g. even the books of the on the secret. project is the case. whether it is a produced press. or a shamanistic mich. crossroads of religion. faith strong good spirits. welcome back to spotlight i'm aware of in just a reminder that my guest in the studio today is limited period what if there is

a director of the russian federal agency for print media. well let's talk about literature i know that your latest interest as an individual is translations translations of less russian literature into foreign languages i know that you you you run a news conference recently introducing a new institute of translation for that of a summit institution rather that will be responsible for that there is that mean that there is a serious revival of interest to question that around the world all you want to promote such. well it was always a certain interest of russian literature around the world. but. the problem is so if you're getting. through the any bookstore or whether you are in new york or when terrorists use your

circling yourself in meeting the books by tolstoy does the u.s. concerto. sometimes you're also getting some brilliant or soldier needs in the past or not. which is not the case with the new congress midrash or really you know a dozen of russian writers who are. but first it's probably russian writers have been translated some foreign languages are of. there are several you know. the problems that. we're facing at the moment are one of that is the. lack of infrastructure i mean by either sort of fiction what i think about the action or threat of a things are we are talking about fiction we're talking about poetry where documents. we're talking about russian currently preprocess so power first is the lack of written infrastructure. and by the lack of

infrastructure i mean that there is no especial lightly three gensis nearly three all 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 we've just said institution which will be supporting. both we are translators and publishers of the profession from the russian language into foreign languages and publishers or would like to respond to to introduce the newly in. over the russian author for this institution will be also spoken aizen seminars will be organizing specialized schools for sloppiest for linguists who would like to. deep them up the chin the russian language russian literature.

facilitate their meeting with begin. russian or thirds and all the russians inclusions linguistic institutions who are currently involved in promoting facilities recently will pick up a minutes ago when talking about the future of books he said that that lies on two routes because it's a piece of art and because it's a business we're in selecting the books that should be translated what's your main principle and so i think is it is it business or it or is there just equality. both both and both sometimes it's difficult but you know if you ask me as a present 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 for the group if you're talking to me or see a military where the person who was in the publishing business were twenty years.

been a reader and admirers of literature as well as. the organizer of the biggest russian literary wharton wrote in here. i would say. about our well actually russia was this year's market focus country at the london book fair spotlight the media has more and this attempt to impress british readers with new names in russian literature. it might get down to those do it this way you have to keep. this status of the guests the rule not to have put you through london book fair hundred russian writers in seventy publishers who attended their intent to do the merits of a much more contemporary brand of russian retreat. their fee to do things well known in there and this was. incoming 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 groups mind you with us to help the process along the russian federal agency for going to mass media is founded the institute of translation this will hand out grants for cancellations from russian into other languages many 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 and it's in reviews in english language magazines base helps grow up their tension of the reading public i didn't knew names the inside those stories as they have stayed in jeopardy to the list of russian must reads. after a b.b.c. radio launched a series based on

a silly grossman's life and fate this book became a great it's in the end london bad and there and it and i had a head in the united kingdom bookstores well will russia use this opportunity to to to sustain sustained interest. 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 some of isn't big in the series. by the city of city and you know thousands 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 times you're

effective in promoting reading promoting books promote an interest in promoting reading so if you ask me would we like to. make a serious on. on the contemporary great russian novels with b.b.c. i would sort of laughter it's a bit of promotion agitation as you just said there is all the stereotypes it's largely they're creating stereotypes now after this b.b.c. series the brits are calling grassman their grasp is no novel the greatest russian novel of the twentieth century well what's wrong with good old dr zhivago what's wrong with what 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 exactly well i mean instead of the good of things you know what. i would put it the other way if if you read if any piece of work or even the reader's show. stimulating people

to read then. let's discuss. the ratings and the waters. with the people read on the do not treat it as the problem of promotion of reading is. evident you know both for the united kingdom and russia as well. we're trying to do. it all to take a lot of you know experience from from a non-governmental organization of the united kingdom to promote leaving specifically. to schoolchildren. this is a big problem for european civilization the new generation is not very eager to 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 or look rich

in the country is is it possible to live and writing in a country so a russian writer and russian author of course he's not writing cheap detective stories can you limit. that's a good question. may i ask you whether the american writer or british writer can relieve only on his. for his role for the i don't know and i'll tell you why. probably they probably they all are professors at university exactly thanks exactly so if you think you know that some twelve twenty bestselling the first in any country you can leave and sustain you know living standards on the road since. if you're talking about a big rich. i doubt it i don't get 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 of maybe millions of people are. around the world get their knowledge about russia about russian culture russian history by reading books by authors abroad who don't have the best knowledge about that what they're writing there are lots of russian history book russian books and russian culture that need to be translated into languages is it a girl you're setting for years exactly exactly. if we're talking about nonfiction so the same goals as the fiction are as well as. you are promoting our best scholars to be translated into the foreign languages.

there are certain areas in the world which which are asking us to provide us provide with. with tags books with science books with the encyclopedia so. we're trying to promote our scholars a brutal as well as be creators 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 all books in the internet is russia going to sort of try to put purple preferred regulations did. i promise to put in. the clear to work against internet now that you i met yeah yeah i limited access to

he had a meeting with the russian book union which is. association of russian publishers who actually if i got paid would like yeah i would like to get something from from abandoned c. of offers from different you know. such an internet and introducing free of for for free any russian or for any any piece. of literature so the big be a problem question is how to fight to get in piracy how to organize the law enforcement begin piracy in the help of internet. and. our prime minister understands the issue and he he is introduced to just the special governmental commission on you know the family intellectual property as well. that pertains to the instance of distribution

movies through tolerance and submission of 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 was alleging that he got a deputy director of the russian federal agency for print and last week and that's it for now from all of us here spotlight will be back with more time tom and you can tell us a little then playing party and take it. i'm
