[000:00:00;00] cultures are now uniting in the light, and judging by what we see here, about something , the cultural unification of the world is possible, my question is, what is the role of the slavic countries in this world unification of cultures, secondly, i ask briefly , if you are a writer in romani, and on what topic, write a novel denes and give it a name, thank you, so, first of all, as for the event that you said, you know, we have activities in this area, it well, it’s maximally

politicized, indeed... i’ll tell you first of all, congratulations on this award, on this prize, since he emphasizes that the state has nothing to do with this, these are colleagues, to tolstoy, this is the yasnaya polyana award in yasnaya polyana, i just unwittingly ratted out your adviser, but this is so, well adviser, thank god, but uh, but he didn’t come, didn’t ask for any permission , he consulted with his colleagues, with his own, yes , this is a collegial decision, this is the first second, which means that with regard to slavic culture, here, just like in case with transgender people, there are sexual minorities, which means that i want to say, you can’t stick anything out, you can’t behave aggressively in any case, no matter who you are, no matter who, the same goes for slavic culture, slavic

culture... and it’s very bright, original , and uh, of course, just like russian culture, it’s impossible to abolish it, pretend that it doesn’t exist, there’s no need to stick out anything, you need to be proud of your achievements, you need to, you need to not be afraid to cooperate today, not to be afraid of some sneak peeks.. figures from politicians, because people who are trying to ban this communication, to ban figures of slavic culture from communicating with each other, they, i apologize if i hurt the ears with something, it means people from the field of culture, but they are just idiots, you know, it’s just abnormal people, that’s who is trying to prohibit this communication between cultural figures between achievements, to look into the future together

, because slavic culture, of course , has common roots, this is an obvious thing, but do not forget that this is significant, but only part of a common, huge world culture, with treat your friends and colleagues from other fields of activity, from other regions of the world with respect, like this, that means, the inclination, if it weren’t for that... it would be completely different, you see, you see, right here i see that some people understood me, yes, but i’m afraid of making a mistake, it’s just that in such an audience, nevertheless, in my opinion, in history there was a case when, in my opinion , they were bitter, if i’m wrong, then you will forgive me correct me, i think gorky came to

tolstoy, lev nikolaevich asked him... what is he talking about, what is he writing about, he says, i’m not writing, why there is nothing to write about, he says, write about why there is nothing to write about, this is a deep thing, and, but today there are a lot of topics, well , as it were, as always, at all times, at turning points, that is, moments in history, or ... in stagnant times, there are always eternal themes, and one of them is love, after that we can say that everything is exhausted, we closed the forum, but if, as today, there is communication between russian culture and the world, and communication with

world culture in general , i am very... glad that a wonderful ballerina is present here, who works at the mikhailovsky theater, she’s from austria and her, that’s it too, she can write a novel, of course, it’s very nice to be here today, take the microphone closer, like this, yes, even closer, i’m very pleased to be here today, and you and i already met in 1919 in khress, at the international opera and ballet festival, and this summer i performed there again, but because of this performance i was forced to leave the theater. well, it’s okay to work at the mikhailovsky theater and thank you very much, where is the question, in my opinion, you can ask in german,

please? read consider it historically all these. we are currently experiencing conflicting times and my question is: what would you like to do with this window? do you think it should be left open or closed? in other words, how do you view the relationship between russia and europe in the future. since not everyone has headphones, i’ll just say briefly, the question is, peter ii cut a window to europe, in the current conditions, is it necessary, thank you. yes kishon, well, it would seem, you know, when it’s blowing, maybe, maybe you can cover it so as not to

catch a cold, but uh, but we, we have good weather, you know, over the last month, our economy has grown by five... 5% of gdp, the weather will be over three, that's what we've been saying all the time, carefully, it will be 2.7, 2.5 , 2.8, now we confidently say it will be over three, now i won’t say how it is in european countries, so that it doesn’t look like some kind of arrogance and tail-wagging, but we have it, well, i like it , you probably like the audience, you like the atmosphere, and we will support and cultivate this in every possible way, we will continue, we don’t want to break off relations with anyone , we don’t do that, we don’t slam anything, we don’t close any doors,

vents, or windows, if someone decides to isolate themselves, then that’s their business, they how can you ban, i already talked about the cheikovsky competition, ban cheikovsky, shastakov, i don’t know, glinka, well... take it, ban your citizens from listening, watching, reading, dostoevsky, chekhovo, i don’t know, but we- then we don’t do this, you said that we have difficult times with europe, we have difficult times with the european elites, implement, implement, the main thing for which their people elected them, to protect the interests of their own country. this is the problem, this is the tragedy, the current tragedy of europe, this is an obvious thing, otherwise how can you calmly look at the fact that, say , laws are being adopted in the states and which, with which

they lure a whole lot of people to agree, and my european colleagues agree, as a rule, not all, but those who disagree are subjected, to put it mildly, to such criticism. that they do not adhere to some general line, so we do not close anything, we don’t have, we don’t have, a conflict with european society, which is increasingly realizing the best in your work in russia and in the mikhailovsky theater, priska has to go, she has a performance in the evening, we ’ll excuse her, i hope she has to go get ready to the performance, of course, of course, all the best, in connection with your

words, the question is, as you know , the americans returned to unesco quite like that, with pressure, the americans returned, and many hotheads today say, well, it has become difficult in unesco, organization, in general it would be necessary, unesco, very much a politicized organization, many hotheads say: we should leave there, what is your position... the americans came, a politicized organization, we have nothing to do there, well, they have already left the council of europe there, what do you think, i think there is no such thing necessity, why, this is a platform where people communicate with each other, work, we also have quite serious projects being carried out through unesco, i don’t see anyone needing this, some people there say, we need to leave, that’s what you say, well it the founder of these organizations, in fact, well, what are we going to leave

from there, what they need, they need to be in accordance, all this is the un, all other un institutions, they arose after the second world war, which recorded the results of the second world war, the situation of course, it has changed in a serious way, new centers of power, obvious, you understand, obvious trends. well, just recently, let’s say, the same great britain occupied fourth, fifth place in the world in terms of economic volume, and now, in my opinion, tenth, or ninth, tenth, this is not because some events are happening in russian-ukrainian, russian-ukrainian relations, not at all, these are objective trends in the development of the world, russia has overtaken the federal republic of germany in terms of purchasing power parity.

well, these trends have simply changed dramatically and they are growing and will change , in accordance with these trends , in accordance with the changed and changing world, of course, it is necessary to adapt international organizations and the un to all other structures, yes this is necessary to do is also fair, africa must be represented, there of course, latin america, asia, india, brazil, south africa, of course, all this needs to be done, but. close them or leave, it seems to me that there is no point in this, thank you very much, i can already see hands raised, if you don’t mind, next to dmitry mezintsev, he is so protective of our friend and colleague, the minister of culture of belarus, the question is, just a neighbor or political partner, this is the land and people who

bind us with a common historical destiny. for next year in belarus is marked by sacred dates, the eightieth anniversary of the liberation of belarus from the nazi invaders, we will also celebrate 25 years, a unique festival held in vitebsk, a slavic bazaar, we have kept together, let me invite you, will be dedicated to this topic for this unique event, thank you, thank you very much , i will try, thank you, i will be in minsk soon, we have an event there at the highest level, it is being held through the csto, so i will see aleksandromovich, we will definitely do it we are discussing, thank you very much.

vladimir, since invitations to the festival have begun, i would ask our friend and colleague, old mr. uberoi, president, distinguished guests, distinguished representatives of cultural art, my name is kuhu oberoi, i am the founder, chairman and sponsor of the bangkok international dance and music festival . the festival recently celebrated its twenty-fifth anniversary. over the past 25 years, over a quarter of a century, we have invited numerous countries from all over the world, including, for example, the mariinsky theater, to participate in theater we had representatives from moscow, from the stanislavsky theater, from the kremlin ballet, from orchestras of russian regions, from

novosibirsk, from ufa, from samara. operas, by the way, will be performing this year, and this has really allowed us to raise the standards of music and dance in our country, since the beginning of our festival, our goal has been to improve the popularity of dance and music in thailand, as well as strengthen diplomatic relations between thailand and other countries that represent their own. cultural representatives art and when the festival that performed was the novosibirsk opera, and today we have our own. and this clearly demonstrates that the standards of music and dance have seriously improved, helped in the development of our country , at the same time, it has inspired thousands of people, thus increasing their performance in

all areas, we have almost reached an agreement, we hope that they will be able to perform next year, there will also be a cultural exchange program between thailand and russia, and i am sure that many artists from russia will be able to visit thailand, and many thai artists will be able to visit russia. and i'd like to thank everyone here who has supported us over the last 25 years, and i hope that support continues. first of all, i want to congratulate you on what you are doing with the results of your activities , these are always significant events in the world of art, first second, you are a great theater, yes, as far as i

understand, yes 10 months, well, a month ago it could have been completed, well, nevertheless, we have... we have here, yes, i ask you to pay attention to this, help your colleagues, somehow finish the negotiation process, and ailland is also called a stranger, there are other areas of activity, but besides the thais, probably hardly anyone can help, improve everything related to thai culture, it is very original, very beautiful, very kind . thailand has never been a colony and this certainly affected the culture of the thai people , but as for the relations between russia and thailand, it is near st. petersburg, so relying on all the best that we got from history, we will

of course move further, even more time for you thank you and success, thank you, you wanted yes , elena empolskaya, chairman of the committee of culture, uh, state duma , hello, hello, dear vladimir vladimovich, you uh, for several years, we have been trying to promote initiatives to reduce the latinization of our environment, by reducing the degree of anglomania in our everyday life, i mean exports , announcements, various names, and so on and so forth, and not a single department supported us over the years, there was a feeling that we were right up against the wall we fight, but in january of this year, by your decree you made changes to the ram, with this ram you once again fell on this wall, lo and behold, it swayed, and colleagues from the government began to write to us that yes

, indeed, something is strange, that everything our cottage villages and residential complexes are called exclusively hils, fields, gardens. states and it’s really strange that in our central city streets 70-80% of all signs are in latin, and the state duma bill concerns consumer protection, advertising, and urban planning, media, i want to assure that there are no extremes, no absurdity, no one is naturally talking about banning foreign languages, as well as about abolishing the best examples of western culture, it seems to me that russia is the only one now. heir to classical european culture in the rest of the world, where she was born, she has long been no longer tolerant, which he deserves to occupy, there are a lot of foreign guests in this hall, we are now in the city where there were, there will always be many foreign guests, and we, of course, must provide them with a comfortable environment, the opportunity to understand everything, to navigate easily, but it seems to me that

when the owners think exclusively about the guests, forgetting about their language, about their ancestors, about their history, the first who... will respect, these are the guests themselves, i have a request, vladimir vladimirovich, if it is possible to accept in readings, with your word, it always goes more reliably, we feel better armed, thank you for those changes to the decree, they really helped us break through the wall, i i really hope that further with our efforts we will succeed in this work, and we will, we will live in our native language, i think this is important, thank you very much, please don’t leave us alone with this, thank you, the theater, now yes, i was talking about , oh, about the window to europe, which the tsar in his time... you know, from then on almost everything began, that’s when

boots made abroad were hung out, and other samples were put on display, probably it was right, such samples we needed all this stuff, but from then on it started us, the struggle between westernism and the soil-based people and so on, always, or often, often, unfortunately, we slide into some extremes, we always lack pragmatism, we must not be shy about taking all the best that we have, wherever - on tradition and acting like this pragmatically, achieving the maximum result for ourselves, unfortunately, well, a lot always depends on the authorities. in recent decades, this is also the result of the activities of the authorities,

once again we began to hang out these boots for show, which is where it best became clear that this not so, price, the best examples of what is in the world, build on your own base to move forward, and as for culture, history, tradition, of course, this should always be decided at the basis of our development, not, not that - in development , and of course, we support your bill, well, i just don’t know the details, but we’ll see, of course, okay, thank you, thank you, vladimir vladimirovich, well, as i understand it, the word forum for all that, thank you, this is for me, this is mikhail borisovich asked, i had nothing to do with it, so you said the following wonderful words, wonderful words you said, that the cultural budget will not be cut, it will remain in the form in which it is, so you said, over the last 10

years we have increased spending on culture 20 times, i would like you to say about the roots of russian
