Meeting with culture

Dmitry Medvedev visited the Multimedia Art Museum, where he inspected an exhibition of contemporary art and met with culture: young writers, composers, theater and film directors, singers, artists. Discussed at the meeting talked about public support for the development of modern art:

I remember how still quite young Soviet man in 1990 for the first time he went abroad in a capitalist country - Sweden. Those who still remember those days (not all of these times, remember), you can imagine, what were my emotions and feelings.

In addition to a consumer paradise, who was then in Sweden (in the Soviet Union was the complete neglect, failure and collapse of the system), I was amazed that we were taken to the opera - it was "Carmina Burana" and the idea - for them naturally, but for We had an absolutely unnatural - there is a very old, closed the plant.

And it was such an extravaganza of light, music, plus this one external surroundings - a fantastic impression on me then it made because it was really a breakthrough in the new century, the new system. Not only did I come from the Soviet Union, but also showed me what art is, and it is the synthesis of classical art and modern art. I think that is very cool can change the brain.
