The starting point is SVO. How the AP plans to put culture at the service of war

The Kremlin for 2.5 years of full-scale war in Ukraine was never able to unite the country around her: According to polls, Russians are trying to go to war ignorea movie about her fails at the box office, books, poems, and songs about events at the front remain the lot of the marginalized. The presidential administration dreams of changing this – according to the Soviet model of art control.

The Dossier Center has at its disposal documents with proposals for rebooting cultural policy in Russia, which were developed by the head of the AP department for public projects Sergey Novikov. The official understands that war is pushing people away, so he wants make it the backdrop for all the artwhich is sponsored by the state.

The Kremlin is unhappy “painfully repressed“the place of war in Russian culture,” writes Novikov. She must becomeframe, an integral part of any artistic world and a reference point for any value reasoning

The head of the AP for Culture even offers his ideas. For example, a film about the action movie “Motorola” in the spirit of Marvel, in the plot of which he quits his job as an Auchan security guard, finds love and dies a “heroic death” (in fact, according to one version, the militant, known for his cruelty, became a victim of local gang violence). Another idea of ​​Novikov is a semi-comedy series about the Donetsk hotel “Donbass Palace Battalion”.

According to Novikov’s idea, only those who will engage in “ideologically correct” art will receive large government fundingand for cultural figures who want to remain apolitical, the state should provide minimal support like vouchers to a sanatorium, like in the USSR.

“The artist’s dilemma is simple. If you want to “create” without violating the convention, then go ahead. You won’t die of hunger. If you want government money, take part in the life of the country. Here’s the challenge. Here’s the competition – go ahead. No violence.”
