Pearls small and zhidkiye

Russian cabbage soup In October, 2016 the deputy State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation Valery Rashkin sent inquiry to the head Federal Agency for Press and Mass Communications to Mikhail Seslavinsky where requested information of the following contents:

1. Lists of socially significant editions (authors, publishing houses, circulations), receiving public financing (with the indication of the amount of financing) from 2004 to 2016

2. Lists of the modern Russian writers representing Russian Federation at the international book exhibitions fairs (by years), from 2004 to 2016

3. Lists of the translations into foreign languages of the works created in languages of the people Russian Federation (authors, publishing houses, circulations), receiving public financing (with the indication of the amount of financing) from 2004 to 2016

4. Lists of winners of an award of Government of the Russian Federation in the field of the culture, recommended by Rospechat (by years), from 2004 to 2016

Mikhail Seslavinsky responded p to this request, but only partially. Department submitted "The list of socially significant editions which have received public financing in 2012 — 2016" on 159 pages with the indication of publishing houses, authors, names and circulations. Thus the amounts of financing are not specified concrete books, and they can differ very significantly; data for all years are not submitted (under a pretext that data went "to archive" — a strange excuse during an era of a general computerization), information is provided selectively. to

the Reason of umolchaniye is clear to p. Writers repeatedly subjected Rospechat and its management to criticism for a course on support of very disputable authors: Rubina Dina, sporting obscene lexicon, Ulitskaya Ludmila, educating kids concerning a nonconventional gender, Shishkin Mikhail, refused to represent the country at the international forum as it is a shame to it with Russian Federation, Sorokin Vladimir, calling "writer-g.vnoyedom" and so forth. Division of writers on "black" (those whom hold on short rations) and "white" (showered with the various state benefits) led to the scandal which has burst in a Year of literature. The writer Moskvin Eugenie addressed with letters to Vladimir Putin and to his adviser for culture Tolstoy Vladimir. In these messages, in addition, the sender asked to abolish (to disband) Rospechat and to transfer department functions in Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation. The ideas stated by Moskvin Eugenie, many writers supported. Discussion of letters took place in "The literary newspaper" and other mass media.

Writers, unlike the theatrical public, do not complain of censorship from the power. They point to injustice of state regulation in their sphere and speak about other censorship — censorship of money, insist on that them put in equal situation with "favourites" of Rospechat, but as "the heart has a will of its own", the vkusovshchina is inevitable. Rospechat abolition in such deal seems quite logical step — after all officials "solve nothing", being covered with "Public councils" which allegedly and render a verdict about financial feed of this or that publishing project. And the formal state administration manages too expensive. Only one "Rendering services in technical support of the Uniform automated system Federal Agency for Press and Mass Communications and the Official site" — make 16,5 million a year as the site of testifies . The only firm participated in competition on performance of work (it — the winner) LLC "Tesla Service". As they say, from small literature before small business — one step. Everything is logical!
