hello again you're welcome to spotlight the interview show on r t i and i will not and today my guest on the show is of like the man to believe what. russian writers like to tell star and off the ascii art hugely popular in the world but i like the great classic modern russian that the trip is almost unknown abrupt one of the arguments is that the word solve modern writers rarely get translated what's wrong with promotion especially if the tribe wrong and will attempt to get that we're asking the deputy director of the federal russian agency for print and mass media

like you never believe what. publishing experts see the translation in russia leaves much to be designed among so great 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 the commode and harmonize the work of the translators and special prize calls russia to be established to recognize excellence the art structure. i want to go to and welcome to the show thank you thank you very much for being here and i want to 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 principle state body supervising internet in russia well

this is the way i actually need government supervising what's your opinion. well. it's not really correct we're not supervisor meeting that. you know if we're talking about the technical aspects of internet unsupervised but the minister of communications talking about the content is not supervised by anyone. probably except for the existing set of laws starting from the constitution so be prepared yonder of. war nationalism there for britain and there we have also the subtle subset of laws. which are or stipulate in the propaganda of terrorism it's also forbidden. so we're doing forced into 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 were several statements by a law enforcement officials in this country russia and after these statements there are growing fears that the states is planning to restrict the freedom of internet in this country and you know until you had like we should know what the russians are reading what. you know what this question is also was despicable. and all the you know streeters of 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 communication issue of paper same time there are certain principles we trust still under discussion with different bodies of russian government. first and foremost.

propaganda. after isn't. secondly our or our. parliament is working on the new war on the building state building child pornography. and. internet communications so child pornography and we would like not only all screw children are falling. through library today and the access to that type of. roar of information through but we also would like to try to ban it inside for us. at the same time the mass communication people are always. looking at any attempt to make an m member just and worse as the attempt to you know to reduce the. two somehow took effect via

liberties so it's always a discussion and i don't know where the. misinformation about any any any real steps to to introduce anything. you know mass communication agenda is. adequate i doubt it another in other news related question about the the competition between the print media and the online publication the great problem. around the world with with print media competing with internet complications what's happening in russia what's the circulation in russia print media and the dropping or is it withstanding the competition and stop a happening so we are. to witness in the same process in. in russian print media as any other country in the world like united states america or western european

countries. you know quite a noticeable drop of. printer ins and if you take into account or so be the character of russia. it's not easy to deliver any newspaper at three far distant to the police somewhere in savior despite the fact that russia is equipped with the system of a decentralized printing are sometimes it's. this issue is. it's quite sensitive especially for the drilling your speakers. and at the same time we're developing you know digital coverage of. food television and broadcasting around and will be i think will succeed with or with the program by two thousand and fifteen. including you know the launch of.

or to the outer space of the new generation of russian communications satellites can we i think will be. getting all our. villages and small towns will be getting access to broad brought internet to seventy two thousand seven thousand i feel that that means that. all the sentence of russia will give the access to you know electronic version of any britain year i've heard it in the news the other day that by year two thousand and fifty there will be no more paper magazines and newspapers well oh are 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 an means of information are

moving into internet rather becoming communication means information it is about paper or is it about a new way of communicating also it's about a new way of communicating our you know there's two things to expres we we have to take into consideration first but there's not that huge drop of the production of paper in the world despite of the new means of communication despite of. the drop of the printer and it's somehow printers. us too. still enjoying you know what there is from the top from all the other media is including advertising secondly. books are piece of art so there will be a competition between the product book and the. paper book but both of them will be existing. as far as. printing newspapers and magazines

this should be something which will be. offering advertisers to pull the advertising on so. what i'm talking about. the media will be developing both ways i support of the business and part of the culture. of leds even a pretty good if that makes you director of the russian federal agency for print media spotlight will be back shortly after we take a break so. it's . brought our hero. we hear it because of our passion alex that's. the guy trying to stem the cylinder long stocks

. will if they are still going to be thinking. god's chosen people will be must believe that god is the real estate agent ok this is for you guys and this guy this is as we. know this is over and this is my then. it was created to serve public interests to inform and to entertain. to these days there's nothing easier than opening a new media outlet but there is nothing harder than revoking its license in case of

corruption. when just from. c.n.n. . and try. to be good involved in a community where you have one large corporation controlling the daily newspapers radio stations television stations the cable outlets you told me that that sounds like the markers of the public opinion versus f.c.c. broadcast blues the marquee. welcome back to spotlight i'm just a reminder that my guest in the studio today is let's you know to get it gritty of deputy 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 and to foreign languages i know that you you you run a news conference recently introducing a new institute of translation for that of a so institution rather that will be responsible for that that does that mean that there is a serious revival of interest to rationalise around the world or you want to promote such. well it was always a certain interest of russian literature around the world. but. the problem is if you're getting. through the any bookstore whether you are in new york and paris you say you're certainly yourself in meeting the books by tolstoy because the us each of sometimes you're also getting some brilliant or soldier needs and not just they're not.

which is not the case with the more than russian literature but only you know a dozen of russian writers who are. the first probably russian writers have been translated from foreign languages are. there are several you know problems that. we're facing that the moment well one of that is the. lack of infrastructure i mean by even the sort of fiction we're talking about the action for talking about things. we're talking about fiction we're talking about porter we're talking about. we're talking about russian currently process so power first is the lack of real infrastructure of on and by the lack of infrastructure i mean that there is no special likely free agency is the military all literary agents working with the rest of it which are

certainly it's always risky to include 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 we owed something to some publishers profession from the russian language in terms of foreign languages and the publishers who are would like to respond to to introduce the new name. of the russian author of a. this institution will be also logon eyes and seminars will be organizing specialized schools for slower feast for linguists who would like to deepen their much interest language with russian literature. facilitate their meeting with the. russian authors and all the russian institutions linguistic institutions who are currently involved in promoting facilities recently

will pick up the minutes ago when talking about the future of books he said that that that that lies in two routes because it's a piece of art and because it's business well selecting the books that should be translated what's your main principle and so i think is it is a business or it or is there just equality. in both both both sometimes it's difficult to have both 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 people if you're talking to me or see military him or the person who was in the publishing business for twenty years. been a reader. of literature as well as. the

organizer of the biggest russian literary work in russia in here. i would say. about our well actually russia was this year's market focus country at the london book fair spotlight you know the media has more and this attempt to impress british readers with new names in russian literature. it might get down to the old story does the yes and chacon. i guess the rule not if two to three one. hundred russian writers and seventy producers. point tendered are intent on promoting the merits of a much more contemporary brand of russian literature that 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 do with groups minute

with us to help the process along the russian federal agency for going to mass media was founded by the institute of translation this will hand out grants for translations 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 of the us and it in reviews in english language magazines these helps grab the attention of the reading public and in new names the inside those stories as they have stayed in check up to the least of russian must reads. after a b.b.c. radio launched series based on my personal grossman's life and fate this is what became a great hit in the end london had been there and that and ahead and you 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. the petition of any great novel we have probably the same effect anywhere in the world if you remember a couple of years ago the russians on the vision make the number dictation of a series. by the city of spain and then you know thousands of russian you know readers. went to the bookstores to to buy this thing about the by the book so it's you know all these times you're effective in promoting reading promoting books promoting it's a shame promoting reading so if you ask me would we like to to to make a serious on. on the contemporary great russian novels and with b.b.c.

i would certainly love to do some good promotion adaptation as he 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 grossman was not novel the 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 of things you know what. i would put it the other way if if you will read if any piece of work. even the reader show. stimulating people to to read them. so this kind of. the ratings and the authors then. people read on the do not treat because the problem

promotion of reading is. evident both for the united kingdom and russia as well. we're trying to do. well to take a lot of you know experience from from non-governmental organization of the united kingdom to promoting specifically. school children. this is a big problem for european civilization the new generation is not very eager to include 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 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 so. called his world friendly i don't know and i'll tell you why. probably they probably they all are professors at university exactly thinks exactly so if they can only ten twelve twenty something with us in any country we can leave and sustain going to be as little centers on their authors were if you're if you're talking about a big literature. i doubt and 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 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 that a girl you're setting feels exactly exactly. if you're talking about nonfiction so the same goal as as a fiction are as well as. you know 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 to

provide with. or with tags books with the science books with the encyclopedia and so on there. and we're trying to promote our scholars girlfriends as well as big growth years 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 to put purple conferred regulations that. premise put in never declared the war against internet and the i met yeah yeah unlimited access to it he had a meeting with a russian book called union which is say the association of russian publishers who were really proud of what they'd put it would likely be that they would like to get

something from from abandoned sea of offers from different you know. such internet introducing free or for. for free any russian author any any piece. of literature so the. problem question is how to fight to get in piracy how to organize the law enforcement again piracy in the help of internet. and. i will prime minister understands the issue and he he is introduced to just a special governmental commission on you know the family intellectual property as well. that pertains to sort of distribution movies through tolerance and solution of literature as well ok thank you thank you very much for

being with us today and just to remind you that my guest on the show wasn't like you know he got a deputy director of the russian federal agency for grants and masters and that's it for now from all of us here spotlight will be back with more on tom and conflict in russia with a man named party and take it. it
