Book: About culture and not only

WHY do we need the state at all? In my opinion, to create all the conditions for a person to be good. <... > It is necessary to blow up the notorious "Dom-2" not because we are hypocrites, but for the sake of Russia still existing in ten years, so that it is not finally carried out in pockets, people brought up in an atmosphere of rabid cynicism do not smoke on sofas.

It is very sad if the Criminal Code replaces conscience and culture in society, because real culture is always related to conscience.

Before talking about universal accessibility, about technologies for the maximum dissemination of culture, it would be good to first decide - WHAT EXACTLY we want to spread. There are already examples when cultural revolutions launched from above did not cause anything in people except rejection. The law on culture, even if one is soon adopted, such issues are not resolved. Any law is an instrument. Set of tools. What are we going to build with this kit - a house, a gallows? You have to decide in advance. You can bring a button accordion to every village, but you cannot make people sing. They sing not from the presence of an accordion, but from a spiritual need.
