It should be reminded that the purpose of the document under discussion – to determine basis of the state cultural policy and help to change attitudes in this area in the community. Broad discussion of the project at the site obsudiproekt.ru completed on September 30. Currently processed more than 1.2 thousand citizens’ proposals and experts told the “People’s Front” presidential advisor Vladimir Tolstoy. Many of them are contradictory, he said, and because in the end it is necessary to create a text that, in his words, “at least would not cause rejection hard and irritation in most people.” It is the officials in October, for which the entire array of proposals will drive together.

A “maximum program” – a kind of answer to the West. “It is necessary, if you want to surprise the world that Russia pays special attention to culture, despite the fact that now the military-political issues were to the fore,” – said Tolstoy. For this culture, he said, should be a priority in the field of finance.

The next level of legal work will be the adoption strategies for implementing cultural policies

In ONF this position is certainly supported. “We treat culture as a residual, and this attitude must be changed. West is afraid of our unity in terms of culture – a sign of growing strength of Russia, – said the director, co-chairman of the Central Staff of the ONF Stanislav Govorukhin. – The people can not be defeated, it will not break the spiritual backbone” .

The other “veterans” in the discussion, too, have repeatedly stated that in the West the document under discussion is considered dangerous – after all it is the “spiritual scrapie” of the nation, as his time in the Russian president said.

The document still needs work, emphasizes Tolstoy: it is necessary to take into account the geopolitical features of the regions, linking the development of the cultural sector to education, the state policy in the field of media and the Internet.
