[000:00:00;00] in the field of culture, precisely for the restoration of this object, today we continue to work on recreating the icons of the sky of the church of the transfiguration of the lord, unfortunately, they were lost during the great patriotic war, gazprom helps us with this, and alexey borisovich personally, a huge number of cultural centers have been modernized , libraries, museums, theaters, we just have a wonderful magnificent example in the republic of karelia, in the city of belomorsk, this is the museum of the karelian front, one of the most visited museums now and most importantly by schoolchildren. vladimir vladimirovich, here is our question: the national cultural project is coming to an end very soon, which has seriously influenced the development of the arts with comparable financial resources, programs, and projects. i am truly convinced that russian culture has long proven that what they used to say, that it can be treated on a residual basis, is

completely wrong. let’s say, i just wanted to say this myself, thank you, okay, thank you, i’ll try to come to kizhi, kizhi, but after all kizhi, that’s what concerns the project ends, but our life does not end, of course, i’m not ready right now... to say outright that we will do a new project there, something like that, well, we will work, of course, on all of these in the area related to cults, work has been done on the budget, but there is a project, there is no project, we will definitely take into account all the main directions and, under the leadership of the ministry of culture, we will act, you know, we are now

creating four large clusters in kalinin. in vladivostok, kemerovo, sevastopol, but this is only one of the directions in order to feel included in the broadest sense of the word in the cultural life of the country, to move there our best opportunities, and museum activities, and theatrical activities, musical art, but i repeat, this is not all, what we are going to do, we will work in all directions, how we will package it, we will still see, but this is already a matter for them, they really for them the national project of culture is very important, in general the consolidation of people of culture is and consolidation of society, of course, in connection with this, i have one question, which is - various colleagues approached me, but i seem to have nothing to risk, i’m 75 years old, how can you risk anything, there’s practically nothing, 7.6

yet? that is, there is something to risk, of course, i understood, nevertheless , actors, cultural figures, made some emotional statements, then they all stayed, i’m now talking about those people who work in russia stayed in russia and - want to work in russia and connect their fate only with their own homeland with russian culture, but nevertheless from time to time, despite the fact that these people, some of them, and even many of them will visit... donbass, lugansk, new ones to some astracism, as far as this is generally fair, because that it seems to me that, uh, well, we are building a new, wonderful culture, a new country, and these people will also be useful to us, i said that they were afraid , afraid to take risks, so they forwarded

this question to me, since we have... cry , what parted with the sea, why we pray to god for forgiveness, light and shadow regularly divide the world is in pieces, hardly a drop knows what happiness is, amarhayam, these were torn away from the collective. it means, you know, someone said something, the head is not only a tool for speaking, but also for thinking before

you say something, this is the first, but there is a second, of course, many of them, just like it never occurred to me until 2014, that there could be such a conflict between russia and ukraine, if they had told me before 1914 that this was possible, i would have said, what are you crazy did you get off? here, but i admit that people didn’t watch, didn’t understand what was happening, and of course, and of course, but you need to watch, of course , not because people say, but because they do, if this is an activity related to causing damage our own country, our own people, and such activities also take place, we see it , there fees are transferred somewhere out there, directly , say, to the enemy and so on, then this is one story, if this is just a circumstance that we all certainly must take into account

this is the mood in society, and the opinion of the people of the country that we consider our homeland, or do not consider, and this is an objective factor from which no one, anywhere. thank you very much, i think this is a comprehensive answer, we still have one more question, now we will come , maybe if vladimirovich agrees, we will come to a free conversation, a completely free one, what is called a discussion, but just a minute, we still have one request for a speech yesterday, with your statement, your attitude towards russian culture, such a boom in all media and

, yes, yes, give me a microphone, please put on headphones, because mr. degaulle will speak french, not everyone can speak this language. president, i, it is a great honor for me, in the context of the conflict of civilizations that the world faces today, it is necessary to concentrate on culture, on science, on progress, this is what unites people, in addition to political interests, beyond these interests, as charles degaulle said, he said that the main thing is culture. that we can always forgive in peace and prosperity, i think that is what we want, but we also want our country to be the most influential, we have some

vision, we have courage, but only together we can work on our common, offer you, so that brix has diplomatic representation within international structures that everyone recognizes, each country will thus be able to participate in their activities, including countries for resistance. i would like france and francophonie to join brix and

contribute to the prosperity of our countries, scientific diplomacy, cultural diplomacy, historical, trade diplomacy, as well as sports and education, belong to the youth, it is they who need..." it is necessary to reform the education system so that we can preach these values, moral values ​​are also necessary - this is what need to be preserved, they are the ones who make a person free. and this is what leads to stability, what leads to prosperity for everyone, this is what i think about it, these are my proposals, mr. president, i would

like to know your opinion on this matter , thank you very much, first of all, i want to thank you for all your activities aimed at bringing things together. and europe united with russia, aimed at overcoming the difficulties that we are all facing now. and i want to sincerely wish you success, when i address you, with relations between our countries, it seems to me that this is such a free interpretation, probably, of what is happening, but nevertheless, it seems to me that what is happening now in europe, as i just said, in relation to russia, we have such trends as westernism and such.

the pochvenniki who are there, some are pulling in one direction, others in the other, and you know that what happened a very long time ago, this is the line that was represented by marshal petain and general de gaulle, it seems that both were fighting to save france and french, but in different ways, one with the help of conciliation, and the second in relation to what i say, but in principle everything is happening in principle , but in a slightly different way, in a different edition, of course, these are not the times of the second world war war, but but in general, like this, such approaches, the struggle between these two approaches lies at the heart of the events taking place in europe, and of course, we are always,

always on the side... what a second, as for france’s participation in the work of brix, please, if france wishes, it can to submit an application, we will consider it, especially since russia already presides. the floor is with you, but since we have the truth from china, it’s not in this audience that he tells, it’s not for me , vladimir vladimovich, as they say , to tell what kind of relations we have with china,

thank you, mr. presenter, for this opportunity to speak. dear mr. president. i, it is a great honor for me to come here, to the beautiful city of st. petersburg, to participate in the international cultural forum. yesterday, i participated in a discussion of museum issues in our countries, in our museum. in fact, such artifacts are stored that reflect the history, culture, national culture of our country, and we believe that museums can become such a very important bridge between countries, as you said, a cultural bridge, because you and you also last month, you and the chairman. sidimpin announced that

2024-2025 will be the years of culture. i want to ask you a question: how do you consider, what are your expectations from the interaction of museums in russia and china in our common cultural interaction, thank you. i won’t give a description now of how things have developed between our states. well, in all the most important, in all the most important areas, we demonstrate a very high level of our cooperation, these are the 200 billion in trade turnover that we talked about which we strived for, we will reach this level ahead of schedule, this year, we will almost certainly have 200 billion in trade turnover, the quality of interaction, well, as for the topic that you touched on, of course, without any doubt,

the basis... of our success is the trust that i said about, and it cannot be achieved without direct contact between people, it cannot be achieved only - it must be carried out along the bridges that are laid between the hearts and souls of people, not only decades, and centuries of our, our - our existence together as neighbors, as neighbors, and this underlies all our successes, so... he and the chairman of the people's republic of china talked about this, and they talked during negotiation process and face to face, we must pay tribute, the president of the people's republic of china

always pays a lot of attention to issues of culture, education, sports, and this... it is growing, we see the interest of the chinese public in russian culture, many, of course, first of all, veterans they still sing russian, soviet songs, and in russian, we value this very highly, and we believe that this is our common base, but also the interest of russian citizens in chinese culture, in the ancient powerful desire for each other, and to develop, i want to say words of gratitude to you and express the hope that all this will be carried out at the highest level, thank you very much, thank you very much vladi vladivich, we have time to finish, and literally one short question, they usually say that politics is the art of the possible, here two

words seem to play a role, art and the possible, but art always wants the impossible, in general politics is creativity, which means, well, firstly, if i understand correctly, i understand my friends who have been working in this field for decades and have achieved very, very significant achievements, so they say that even , well, let’s say, this kind of creativity like music, yes, it has some laws of an objective nature, that is, in creativity there are always things - well, let’s say, that are based on , uh, on some kind of achievements, uh , on scientific achievements, on some principles scientific, but based on these

principles, namely, by investing in the fact that he is doing something new, putting it in forms that... touch the innermost strings of the human soul and the human heart. in politics, too, you need to be based on some objective data, not just some, serious objective data, because to plan and do something, as it were, means to be able to feel how they will add up... with relations between countries, people, what are, what will be the development trends for individual direction, that is, here, of course, there are also elements of some kind of creativity, but still there is more pragmatism here, thank you very much, and yet we are sure that you, in any case, thank you very much for this

, i just apologize, if do you mind, please introduce yourself, this is a respected publisher and... from italy, who speaks russian, who has many very interesting publishing projects, thank you very much, thank you for the opportunity to speak, i wanted to say that i am a patriot of italy, patriot of my country, because i no longer have the opportunity, it’s just that after the start of svo, i’m also a publisher and a political scientist, i don’t invite you anymore... we have the most severe censorship anywhere, that is, i’m speaking briefly as a patriot of italy, why? because i wanted to say, we pay 12 million monthly pensions to ukrainian pensioners, we pay all

civil servants, we pay from our own pockets, not only italians, these are all people of the european union. and they don’t even know about this, we now have new ones, a new balance, how do they accept it, yes , the budget, the budget, thank you, they are hiding everything, they have banned all your channels, although in russian language, well, only a few speak russian, all the same, russophobia is rampant, but i assure you, sir, that the people are one thing, the media and the government are another. then such a moment, the great maestro, oscar, comes, here.

i want to tell you that our famous beninni was practically blackmailed when he participated in this in hollywood , he has a wonderful life, you probably know that he earned an oscar, and they are scandalously liberated there, auschwitz, he is a german, listen, either the americans or you in general forget about the oscar in hollywood, you know how it works, and uh, question: fortunately, we have a lot of other books about the great russian culture, say , the great patriotic war and so on, so the only grants that exist are... about literature, please help in this moment when this the decisive moment is to publish just
