The newspaper "Culture" - under the threat of bankruptcy

[Кирилл Сызранский]

As of today the situation is that the newspaper "Culture" is not actually coming out.

As explained by the chief editor of the Yuri Beliavsky, the newspaper stopped. He thinks he will be given another number, which will be released on November 17, because the newspaper a lot of obligations to different people who have to perform. People are promised some texts. And the guest in the studio thinks the team will meet with the forces and release another room. But this is to gather strength.

Why newspaper stopped publishing?
According to Yuri Belyavsky, because it is very difficult, not having the money to publish a newspaper. And in general, not having money is very difficult to do something. He ran the newspaper for 15 years "Culture", but there was never a situation that has arisen in the newspaper today.

Why it occurred?
 According to the chief editor of "Culture", for several reasons. And they are all basically the crisis of 2008. Just then came a very heavy failure, were made large debts, of which paper to get out so far can not.

How many now should be the newspaper?
 According to the guest, by Russian standards, a little bit - 15 million (half a million dollars). Therefore, the question arises. Well, should not be a story with the release of a single country, say in the world, the newspaper devoted entirely to issues of culture and art, personal handiwork of its chief editor and her team.

The newspaper "Culture" there is 82 years old, comes from 1929, and today it is as a national treasure, what are the great Russian theater in some way the great Russian museums, etc.

If a country has such a newspaper, because historically it existed 82 years old, it is necessary not just stupid to be proud of the fact that it exists, it must somehow maintain. Therefore, Yu Belyavsky hopes that some will be made a political decision, and the other out of this situation have not yet seen, which resulted in the newspaper "Culture" will be able to continue its output.

Moreover, the team publications would suggest that a re-branding to the newspaper, go to the color (the newspaper "Culture" today is still black and white newspaper), which requires some investment. Small, but it requires.

But the very real situation that the newspaper "Culture" coming out in 1929, may cease to exist because of financial problems accumulated after the economic crisis that struck in 2008, the global economy.
