There is a funny thing: the demo ride, and even a demonstration flight. It looks something like this: you walk into the cabin, took their seats, take off, kind of like even somewhere. fly: the movement is, in the kinds of changes, engines humming Then - landing, you go out and find that you are all in the same place and is said to players under thesame cards. The illusion of movement, an illusion
Participants in a long demonstration flight for more than a year feel those who are called cultural figures of Primorsky Krai. Directors of theaters, museums, galleries - a year, by and large, they were remembered only at the moment when you have to sign a contract of employment, and if its action is not yet complete, the attention on the part of the authorities can, in principle, do not count on
Last year Primorye walks rumor about a "list of five" - say, a list of the five leaders of the boundary of cultural institutions, which would not extend the contract. They say that it is in them, five, and lie-that any problems. And if they change, then that's when the cultural field unprecedented sprout flowers and begin sheer grace. And the figures of the "list of five" soon - friendly - have been informed of his fairy luck. One can onlyassume what it is - to work every day, knowing the sword hanging over you
Indirect confirmation of the rumors about the "list of five" found in the history of the signing of employment contracts of chief director of youth theater director Victor Galkin and Nikolay Timofeev art school. As you know, the contracts with them were not signed, and only after strong public resonance of their extended for one year with a kind of "conditional probation." Significantly, the author of theselines tried by an official clarification: what is wrong, why not sign, which claims to the heads and stuff, his first to the press service of the regional administration offered to send questions in writing. All right. E-mail questions were sent. So what? That's all. The answer, apparently, is still mulling
But few know that contracts are usually signed for five years and this year only extend for a year almost all the leaderscultural institutions who have these same contracts expire. A year left on their desks puppet theater director Victor Busarenko, head of regional children's library Elena Kulinok, theater director Gorky Yefim Zvenyatsky And this is not a complete list. The reasons for this kind of personnel policies are not explained - by the "conditional probation", apparently, according to officials, cultural figures work better. However, information on the status of contractsgenerally try not to advertise.
It's not clear what exactly happens after that annual "trial" period. Whether this year's Department of Culture intends to find new leaders for all positions, or some all the way, got a hot hand, have to dodge - or loyalty to confirm or something
- We do not feel that that does not support or interest in their work, - said one of theleaders of cultural institutions - no. And special obstacles do not feel too. We just feel indifference. Each of us is cooked in its own juices. Someone put on plays, someone organizes exhibitions, someone - Concerts. And everyone seems to be moving forward. But the question is: why do we do it? What is the main purpose of cultural work in Primorye, what is our task and our significance? It is impossible to work on inertia, just"Staged performances" or "increasing the Library Fund." There should be a common strategy, a certain main task - and it would be good if we have determined its joint efforts with the regional administration and colleagues. But, unfortunately, the answer to these questions, we do not get. For the year were not, in fact, been no single general meeting or other communication between leaders of cultural institutions. We seem to be no, and remember us only when at someone contract expires. It's strange andnot too inspiring
Generally prepare this material was quite difficult. Soshleshsya on a particular interlocutor - inevitably SUBSTITUTE person not soshleshsya - you feel unfounded accuser But sometimes the objective reality speaks for itself.
For example, the fact that the representatives of the regional administration ignored the autumn of 2012 two important anniversary in the culture of the region - the 80th anniversary of the theater named after Maxim Gorky and the 85th anniversary of the unique, the oldestin the province of cinema "Ussuri" - speaks for itself. On the official celebrations when gifts and welcome addresses were given by the ton, the scene of the regional administration no one came out. Although Anna Aleko, head of the Department of Culture, said that the theater and the cinema was "congratulated them and telephone messages were sent congratulatory addresses' absence from the celebrations and the vice-governor in charge of culture, and it was noted by all subordinates. What could be more important than such big events -an open question. Incidentally, the famous film director Alexander Proshkin found time in his schedule to personally come into Vladivostok and congratulate the cinema "Ussuri" on the anniversary. Said Alexander: "Recently I was in the city of Bordeaux in France, where I was introduced to one of the most respected citizens of the city - the director of a local theater, that's the same as" Ussuri "- with a huge history and knew a difficult and glorious times. The city did not simplyrespect - he is admired, he is famous for not less than the Prime Minister.
In the center of Moscow, on Mayakovsky Square theater was "The House Khanzhonkov." He is greater than 100 years. So the movie is not there. There is a cafe, a restaurant, a movie theater there. Not saved. Was found in Moscow someone like Julia Vasilyeva, managed to snatch from the jaws of the oldest cinema predators. A "Ussuri" lucky. And I envy you. God grant you many years, centuries of development! To theater has always attracted the audience!How many in this room was visited by generations of people! How many generations of artists looked from the screen! When young people come to the cinema, knowing that in the same room watching a movie young their grandparents, it's amazing. Want to see a new generation who feel this continuity that remained in the family love for this movie namolennye temple. "
On the official website of the Maritime Administration (and even on the page of Anna's Aleko, head of the Department of Culture edge on Facebook) almost allcultural news bravura limited reports of the progress of construction of the theater of opera and ballet. This can be understood. Theatre of Opera and Ballet - according to all those unofficial data - one of the "black mark", which received the Governor Miklushevsky. This facility - as well as the long-suffering "Hyatt" and "Fetisov Hall" - it should build, put in operation, no matter what it takes. But the theater of opera and ballet, no matter how he was important - it's not the whole culture of the region, and not even the most important part of it. The theater has yet to prove that he can be an important part of the cultural life of the region, such as theaters, meanwhile, Primorye, library, museum, these are already. And they deserve the same support as a future temple Euterpe and Terpsichore.
By the way, the messages on the page Anton Lubchenko, chief director of the theater of the future, on Facebook sometimes make you think. For example, the notice of competition for vacant positions at the ballet, opera companies and orchestras of the future of the theater literally struck the minds of those who are able to analyze. Future soloists and dancers promised to pay relocation to Vladivostok, as well as accommodation in the hold. And in the same salary band promised such that drools: up to 80 thousand rubles! If the money paid musicians of the same Pacific Symphony Orchestra and Philharmonic soloists, and even paid for housing may not be required to pay anyone and flights. After all, why in the same TCO is a lack of staff? Because young musicians - and it's no secret - at the end of the Academy of Arts are simply unable to stay in Vladivostok. On the salary they receive, not even remove the doghouse in the parking lot That's leaving in all directions and similar examples can cause a lot of, not only the life of musicians.
Yes, the problems in the cultural life of Primorye always existed. It is not that they appeared only in the last year. But the feeling of uselessness in humans for many years piercing his forehead residual financing and many other problems in cultural life, it appeared in this year
- I do not know how others - said the same companion to the author of these lines - but for me it is obvious that the leadership of the province clearly feels his temporality: how to lead, and will be removed. They will stay in Primorye year or two - and they will be replaced by new staff. So why to bother? The main thing - to create the appearance of some activities something It is difficult to say to engage in dialogue with people who have this mindset. They are, by and large, do not need anything but to quietly serve his sentence, and then go home - to Moscow. This we stay here, we live it in Primorye After many officials supervising the culture of today, the year is not even had time to go into all of the edge of the theater - not with the inspection, and the performances, for example.
But apparently, these findings do not sad all. Here's a message that appeared recently on the website of the regional administration, "Director of the Department of Culture of Primorsky Krai Anna Aleko participated in a meeting with deputy presidential envoy to the Far Eastern Federal District with the heads of department of culture in the regions of the Far East region. The meeting, which took place in a video conference, chaired by the Minister of Culture of the Russian Federation Vladimir Medina.
The conference discussed the implementation of decrees and orders of the President of the Russian Federation on the territory of the Far Eastern Federal District - higher wages to employees of cultural institutions, the implementation of measures for the protection of cultural heritage, the organization of touring theaters, and more.
Director of the Department of Culture of the Primorsky Territory Anna Aleko noted the importance of the meeting: "It is necessary to emphasize that such a meeting took place in Russia for the first time, and it is important that the Far Eastern Federal District is building a constructive dialogue with the federal government, bringing together actors."
The conference was marked by a high estimate of the Primorsky Territory Administration work in the field of culture. "
As you can see, not one specific formulation, a single example, but what sounds like a bravura and happy tunes The illusion of movement
P.S.: in this text, we deliberately did not recall the recent scandal in the conduct of this year's many years of ballroom dance contest "Star Maritime". As you know, during the development of this scandal, the Regional Directorate of Culture flashed so incompetent that it is more like an anecdote than a reality
