Point of View

"In 2010 it is being planned to allocate an additional 14.9 billion roubles, and 21.5 billion roubles in 2011. This money is supposed to be used as grants for creative groups, for the restoration of museums, theatres, libraries and other facilities, for the construction of new buildings and structures of this nature, and for planned events in the cultural sphere".

"Of course, we should pay special attention to libraries. All it takes is to finance their revival, to impart a new quality to them, to put their work on a modern technological basis. Financing for this will come through two channels".

"On the whole I think we should change the system of remuneration for cultural workers. The Culture Ministry must think about it and make corresponding proposals. Of course, the salaries of people working in this sphere are very small and do not match the importance of culture for society. It is an evident fact".

"We well understand what moral significance the national culture has, how important it is for the harmonious development and unity of Russian society, for the strengthening of its statehood. Therefore, we will pay careful attention to Russia's museums, theatres and libraries, to the preservation and development of its art movements. We will do our best to preserve and multiply our Motherland's cultural artefacts".
