RF Minister of Culture Alexander Avdeev main events of the coming year calls the end of Bolshoi Theatre, the construction of a new stage of Mariinsky Theatre and the International Musical Competition named PI Tchaikovsky. However, the agency will be engaged and many other projects, of which the minister said in an interview with Chief Editor of "TASS Center Alexei Kravchenko, Natalia Barinova browser.

- It is clear that the activities of the Ministry of Culture is not limited to the reconstruction of the Mariinsky Theatre and the Bolshoi. What else is in the plans of the agency?

- We need to build and renovate dozens of facilities in the province. In particular, this big circus and concert center in Yaroslavl, a circus in Kursk. In addition, during the year, we will restore more than 200 churches, is a cultural monument. In it will be invested both federal and regional funds. At the Ministry of Culture has many other projects. Maybe they are not as sonorous as the Grand Theatre and the Mariinsky Theatre, but for those regions where they are, this is certainly an event.

[SPOILER] In the coming year in Russia will be dozens of competitions and festivals, which are of importance, interest and international recognition are not inferior to the Tchaikovsky Competition. First of all, it is the Moscow Easter Festival under the direction of Valery Gergiev, the International Theatre Festival. Chekhov's "Golden Mask" festival Denis Matsuev "Stars on Baikal", the festival "Moscow Autumn", which we will celebrate the anniversary of Sofia Gubaidulina, contemporary music festival in St. Petersburg and many others.

Also an important event, I believe the opening in Moscow and St. Petersburg exhibition of Russian art IX-XVII centuries "Holy Russia." After the demonstration at the Louvre in the year, "Russia - France," now it will be presented at the Tretyakov Gallery. Its opening will be held March 24 at Memorial Day Apostles Cyril and Methodius.

- Are there any other priorities?

- As soon as possible to begin construction of vaults for the Moscow Kremlin Museums. The money is already allocated. It is a museum of world importance, and it does not have the normal facilities for restoration and storage of exhibits. By the way, we need to do all over Russia program to build vaults, because in many museums around the country are very poor storage space for exhibits. This year was the intense heat and only the heroic efforts of museum workers saved their funds. For such heat needed air conditioning and special equipment, which we do not. Also next year will need to begin the reconstruction of Pushkin Museum of Fine. Already prepared the draft, he's a nice, beautiful, fully developed, taking into account the wishes of the experts and taking into account the specifics of Moscow. There are many other plans. You have to start the reconstruction of the St. Petersburg Conservatory in 2012, we will be celebrating its 150 anniversary. This is the first Russian Conservatory, and its building is in disrepair. Its construction required more than 3 billion rubles, which is a big amount. So many problems, iconic objects that you want to save, too much, and the means we are limited. Our wish for culture in 2012 was allocated 2 percent of the budget, as it should, or at least, at least 120 billion rubles. So far we have only 88 billion rubles.

- We have completed the Year of France, now begins the Italian page. What would you have selected the program?

- The Year of Italy will begin in February in Rome, the exhibition opening of Alexander Daineko. Also I would like to mention the exhibition of Italian painters in the great Hermitage. Year closes in November, tours at the historic La Scala, the Bolshoi Theatre.

Also, do not forget that 2011 also declared the Year of Spain. And for 2013 is scheduled First Dutch pronounce the opportunity to cross in 2012-2013 Years with Germany. In addition, we will have interesting Days of Russian Culture in Lebanon, Syria, Qatar, Saudi Arabia. In addition, the celebrations will be held in the Bulgarian Orthodox spirituality. Dignity and want to spend days of Slavic literature and culture. They will be the new formula: if before they were held in the regions, but now they will be held in all regions with the center in Moscow.

- Apparently, already started to prepare the cultural program of the Sochi Olympics. What are the creative forces will be involved?

- We are actively preparing for this event, knowing that the Olympics would be complete if it is a good cultural component. Now think over the exhibition program. We'll bring in Sochi painting dedicated to the sport. Would like to see the Olympics in Sochi was restored circus. Now while it is in poor condition. A is located just on the so-called "guest line, which will host major events. I'll have to travel to Sochi to see the place for the state of cultural objects. For example, in Sochi is not a large concert hall, but the Winter Theatre. The project is a concert program, we also begin to develop this year.

- You direct a ministry for almost 2 and 5 years, and it must be noted that during this time cultural life began to evolve not only in the two capitals, but in the regions. How do you evaluate this process, who is now a leader?

- As a rule, leaders have become a cultural figures in the field, either active governors. In those regions where the cultural lives of the rich and varied, I would call the Belgorod, Kaluga, Perm, Leningrad, Tomsk region, and Ekaterinburg, Novosibirsk, the capital of our oil - Khanty-Mansiysk, and many others. Enumerate all - it turns a long time. Now the governors understand that their activities will be evaluated including their relation to culture. Interesting cultural life, I saw in Samara and Khabarovsk. Another leader - our leading region of Tatarstan. There is also, incidentally, as in the Udmurt Republic, the share of culture in the budget of the region ranges from 3 to 5 percent. This more than anything in Russia.

- Apparently, governors now beginning to understand that the development of culture adds a region to attract investment. In addition, perhaps, where the development of culture, fewer international problems?

- Yes, you're right. I can use as an example of Kaluga region. The fact that there came the largest automotive corporations of the world, including Volkswagen and Peugeot, "explained including the fact that there is a rich cultural life. Work fine Philharmonic, theaters and other institutions. Governor Anatoly Artamonov D. fond of culture and understands its significance.

With regard to ethnic parts, then here's an example - the Volga city. There, people live more than a hundred nationalities, but never there was ethnic tension. This is because there is represented culture of all nationalities, including small nations. They know each other, respect each other's values. But where it does not, sometimes there are surges.

- How do you see the contribution of the Ministry of Culture in the solution to this problem?

- Firstly, we need to preserve the traditions of our multinational culture which developed in Russia for centuries. Unfortunately, the disappearing languages of small nations to disappear crafts. This is due to the natural process of globalization. But we must do our best to preserve this unique cultural heritage of the country. Secondly, we must ensure access of the entire multinational population of the Russian culture. Through television, through touring, through festivals and through contests and so on. The Internet also provides a great opportunity this direction, for example, to organize an online broadcast of the concert of symphonic music.

- It is known that the Ministry is now preparing a program for the development of art education. What is it, in your opinion, should it be?

- Now we are discussing a draft law on art education. Through this law we want to change the existing situation is not quite favorable, to strengthen arts education and its role in society.

I'll start with the first stage - is to support children's art schools. Basically, they are subordinate to the municipal, but this does not remove, and our responsibility. If the school of arts are considered an additional form, the word "additional" is making a humble status in their existence. No social security for teachers, there are no corresponding regulations for loads, respectively, and the teacher's salary is less, the hourly load they have not been approved. Therefore, we make a draft law with the Ministry of Education to strengthen this system. After all, in Russia there are 5, 5 thousand children's art schools. They should have a status as close as possible to the standards of an ordinary school. Plus, this we will continue the existing tradition of rewarding teachers in such schools. Last year we handed diplomas to forty best teachers. In general, these teachers are from the Far East and the Urals region. This zealots, teaching kids and get quite a small salary.

- And what will become of secondary special education?

- First and foremost is to strengthen the status of music, art, ballet schools - in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Perm and other cities. In particular, we are talking about such schools as the school at the Academy of Fine Arts in Moscow Central Music School at the Conservatory. It is important that there could get kids from all over Russia, not only from a neighboring district. It is also necessary to equate them to the general education diplomas in its solidity.

- The supreme art education will also be amended?

- Yes, here we have to make creative universities have kept scientific councils and the ability to protect theses. Maximum, where you can, you should save the Soviet system of art education, that is not a college education split into two parts, the bachelor's and master's degrees. Because we have our own national experience, a block of 4-5 years, the most optimal for the formation of an artist, actor and director. Experience VGIK today confirms the need to maintain such education. In 18 specialties, we have already made this decision and save the Soviet system.

Also, we need to rebuild what we had before - the possibility of creative graduate school, which was abolished in the 1990's. You see, now, make an artist or an artist or a circus artist who develops the theme in his art, writing work. And admits his thesis only if he wrote a manuscript of 150-200 pages. And if he studies, for example, the tradition of British or French theater, making the statement at the scene? This is what, do not work? Why should he need to write the text, rather than to creative research, which he may be counted for graduate school? Creative Graduate School has always existed in our country and only in the 90's for some reason had been abolished. Now we want to restore it in the draft of the future law.

- What are some problems in the field of art education?

- This is, unfortunately, until there is paid a second degree. Typically, all of our outstanding directors, actors, conductors are those receiving a second diploma. And now they are forced to pay money for it. With this system, we will lose our best teachers and our school and training of creative personnel. Therefore, where considered appropriate, to restore free education. This should address the people with whom the universities recommend retrained and get a second degree.

- Do you think this is real? Not afraid to face resistance?

- As an experiment in the current and last year we tried to solve the problem. However, not globally. We have some students VGIK studying at the directing department, paid for studying the budget of the ministry. In total it is 15 people. But need a systematic approach. Our costs will be repaid. Giving talented people a second degree in VGIK, we finally get good directors.

- Last year in Moscow was replaced by the management team. As you have an awkward relationship with the new mayor Sergei Sobyanin?

- It's not new to the ministry people. Sergei Semenovich helped us a lot, being a Deputy Prime Minister and formerly Governor of Tyumen. We are in constant contact. But we must not forget the large contribution to the cultural development of the former mayor of Moscow. It would be unfair.

- How appropriate and feasible, in your opinion, the participation of private capital in the cultural sector?

- Sponsorship of the Arts is very helpful. We each 10 rubles in the culture - it's sponsorship ruble. Now the law of the sponsorship is still under development, and society to it ready. Last year, the first to submit a large Russian Ministry of Culture, sponsored by Viktor Vekselberg, received the Order of Merit just for this activity. In addition, we have a large proportion of film production in the private sector. We create with government money from 65 to 70 feature films a year, but dozens of pictures are on private money, without the involvement of government. Film of the year, which I think iconic - - "How I spent this summer", "Porridge" and "The Edge" - were created by including in sponsorship money.

- How do you evaluate the Fund's support for cinematography?

- While its too early to assess, too little time has passed since the inception of the Fund. In order to make a movie, you need a couple of years, so that to judge his work is premature. Time will pass, then look at how effective this model. The fund financing market films, and Russia has always been strong original paintings, whose creation is left to the Ministry.

- We already know how to make a film with the participation of your agency?

- We are funding some 350 documentaries each year. There are still children, author and debut films. During 2011-12, we plan to remove about 40 feature films.

- How is the reconstruction of the Moscow Conservatory?

- Last week I was at a construction site, everything looked. There's work goes according to plan and very successfully. Everyone headed rector of the Conservatory, Alexander Sokolov. Work completed to the Tchaikovsky Competition. After what I saw, I can confidently say that the unique acoustics of the hall will continue. To do this, everything has been done. Scientific approach, the analysis of materials, the entire infrastructure. I think the first one hundred years of the conservatory she suffered a massive reconstruction. This is it for good.

- How do you assess the interaction between the Ministry of Culture with the ROC?

- A new law on the transfer of property to religious organizations for religious purposes - it is balanced, it is clearly stated that it is possible to transmit religious organizations, and what is not. For example, you can not transfer the ownership of objects, consisting in a museum, archive or book fund. None of the museum object passed into the ownership will not. Only for temporary storage. The order of transfer is set, called time - 6 years from the date of filing of the application. During these six years we will have to relocate the museums in duplicate of the building, which will be specially equipped. As for the ROC, we are working in good contact, Kirill understands our problems today, so the interaction of success.

- As we are working on the reform of the circus?

- Announced the project concept, he posted at the Ministry of Culture. Under the concept, changing all the formula control circus business in Russia. We proceed from the rigid Soviet vertically to a more self-autonomous farming circuses in the field. Russian State Circus Company as the system remains, but it will create a circus Exchange, which will be sold to the circus program. Director of the circus will be provided far more extensive rights management. They will be the directors responsible for the fate and buildings, and quality performances and quality of living artists. Because artists often live right in the circus with the children, their families, even with animals. Discussion concludes in March and then makes the concept of the government.

- The current leaders are ready for reform or they will have to change?

- Ready, because almost all of the circus director agreed with that concept. It touches not only the State Circus, but private. They will be able to equal, buy and sell programs at the circus Exchange. In addition, circuses do not have to deduct all of the revenue in the Russian State Circus Company, they will keep it themselves, and they will have much more opportunities for creative activity.

- At what stage is the merging of the Ministry of Culture with Rosokhrankultura?

- This matter is before the country's leadership. Joining the Ministry of Culture, dramatically enhance the status of this organization. At the same status as a service Rosokhrankultura not frighten those who violate the security zone, destroys monuments. I do not want to criticize the agency, that's not the workers, they're good case in their undervalued status. They are, for example, wrote a representation to local authorities on building on the Borodino field, where the cottages began to appear. But to these performances went unanswered.

When the museum-reserve can be opened hotels and cafes?

- Coffee is already possible to have. We hope that in 2011 we will solve the problem and small hotels. At the appropriate legal authorization, amending statutes. Many of the governors on the ground ready for the expense of the regional budget to construct, for example, near the Museum-Reserve 04.03 wooden buildings, where they could stop either tourists or professionals. It is inexpensive, but still legally prohibited. We have to get such permission.

In general plans for communities! Even the edge of Qatar was hooked ....
And here at home - a museum, especially in the former estate on the brink.
Regarding the hotels. Fear of what the hotel would not be for at museums and museums in gostinitsah.A there and to shopping centers with parking lots and other "infrastructure" within reach. Permission is because people do not daetsya.I those in a museum.

Well, all the profits - it's really quite "in prodotryadovski" . It will build and operate private investor.Da and the people there for the Dharma will not work.
Establish an adequate percentage of royalties - is da.No importantly - establish strict conservation zone including the preservation of historic landscape within which prohibit any construction. As well as regulate the volume and area that will occupy hotels, cafes and other establishments of service of their architecture.

But what about the owners of shops and cafes?
The museum staff are unlikely to do it.
Maximum on what can count museums, is a payment for leasing retail space.

Most of what museums can expect this fee to lease retail space

This they now zanimayutsya ..

The meaning of the new amendments, as I understand, a little different, right rasshiryayutsya museum staff (in terms of entrepreneurial dechtelnosti).
