Good afternoon
I already have a general idea of what this forum is about.
Now I hope to hear more details from you.
At any rate, what I have seen here is very interesting and impressive.
Most importantly, I think the participants like it.
Do you like it?
Let's start.
Please.
Good evening! My name is Anton Chubakov, Im from Tula.
I am a trained artist and painter here in Tula. I am presenting the project, Samovar: the 21st Century Flea.
I have a question related to my occupation. These days, if you want to become a professional artist, it takes you 15 years to study.
First at an arts school, then college and university. Then artists start looking for a job all by themselves.
In the Soviet Times, graduate artists would go to the Union of Artists with its art factories where they could get hired to work for the country.
Mr Putin, I would like to ask your opinion.
Is it possible to bring back this tradition?
And is it possible to serve your country through arts?
Thank you.
I have to admit I was unaware of the fact that art factories ceased to exist and they do exist.
Of course, we should think about this because art is a special activity.
Art is something that can conform and fit into certain boundaries.
However, it needs support.
I see your point and I have friends who are involved in the arts.
I know how difficult it can be to find clients.
I understand you need stability.
I will discuss it with my colleagues, including those at the Ministry of Culture.
I think it is possible to create something similar.
Good afternoon, Mr Putin.
My name is Andrei Grigoryev, I am from Yekaterinburg.
I am a student of the world-famous Nikolai Kolyada, creator of the Kolyada Theatre. He sends you his best.
Recently we shot a film about Nikolai Vasenin - a war hero, a member of the French resistance.
You may have heard the story; we were very well supported by people in culture and the arts.
Money was raised through crowd funding.
And Sergey Lavrov even recorded a video message in support of our project.
So the film was shot and had success.
We premiered the film in 57 cities and even received a presidential grant.
The Russian Copper Company sponsored the project.
Igor Altushkin fell in love with the life story of Nikolai Vasenin and was devoted to the success of our film crew and supported this project until the end.
We are still involved with this film and, of course, we support the memory of Nikolai Vasenin.
I do not think I should retell the whole story, but what is important?
I would like to note that Vasenin is my third film.
I finished it, and now I am working on a feature film.
It is a film about Grigory Perelman, the well-known mathematician, the pride and really the crown jewel of the math world.
We developed this project for a year, wished Mr Perelman a happy 50th birthday
with an orchestra under his windows - maybe somewhat odd, but it was cool actually.
And on June 8, we managed to meet him in person.
I would say that was huge success for you.
It really was a huge success.
I understand he leads a reclusive life.
Reclusive, yes.
If you like, you can open the materials and look them through now.
We achieved a lot.
And now we are moving on to the production stage.
So, we would like to ask you (not for money)...
We would like to write a letter of recommendation to the Ministry of Culture,
because such letters are very welcome.
And if we have your appraisal, you are the number one viewer in this country,
and the success of Panfilov's 28 Men and the success of Legend No 17 and many other films,
in many respects, it seems to me, is owed to you.
So, look through the materials if you will; this is a young actor of the Kolyada Theatre.
But why is it written here "the luckiest mathematician"?
He is the most talented, the greatest genius, perhaps?
That he is talented and a genius goes without question.
He used the money he got from the Courant University to prove the Poincare Conjecture.
This was really phenomenal, because grants worth millions were being paid around
the world and this conjecture remained an enigma to people for 98 years,
but today, we have the chance to see the world in four-dimensional space.
More time will probably be needed to fully understand the implications of what he has achieved.
Like with credit card algorithms, no one understood why mathematicians thought them up, but it happened.
We want to ask you directly to come to the premiere, to support our film...
What about Grigory Perelman himself...
He heard out our explanations of the whole project and had no objections.
He has no objections...
I also spoke to Sergei Yevgenyevich, his teacher.
Yes, but the main thing is that supports the project, that he has no objections.
Yes of course, because two films have already been made about Hawking, and about Steve Jobbs...
You are absolutely right, and I fully support you, but you must get his permission.
Of course. I can say from the outset that he is not going to sigh anything.
Our task is to ensure that our artistic interpretation of his life is as objective as possible.
I will do everything to ensure this.
We have already written the screenplay.
You are quite right and I support you completely.
I will try.
Thank you. That would be great.
I do not know yet when your premiere will take place and where I will be at that moment.
June 13, 2019,664 days from now.
It says so here...
The photo shows Alexei Romanov, an actor from Kolyada Theater.
Will Perelman himself attend?
I certainly hope so.
Sergey Pershin: Friends, let us move from cinema to theater.
If there are no objections, I would like to give the young culture representatives here
in our improvised hall the chance to speak.
Were the previous speakers not young?
Yes, they are young too, like everyone who takes part in our forum each year.
But they already have achievements to their names.
Good afternoon, Mr Putin.
My name is Daniil Chashchin and I am from Tyumen.
I am a theater and film director and so my question will concern this area of activity.
This is quite a pressing issue that the Tavrida forum has discussed
over the last three years and it comes up constantly in theater and film education too,
backed by rectors and the leading theater and cinema teachers,
but it does not translate into direct instructions.
The issue is that of giving people who already have higher education the chance to train as directors.
The specific nature of a director's work requires a certain life and professional experience,
as well as an artist's, choreographer's, musician's and actor's skills.
Many of our great directors such as Yury Lyubimov or Vasily Shukshin only entered
the profession when they were well over thirty and had previously worked in other professions.
I often travel the provinces staging shows, and I know a huge number of talented
and creative people who already have a higher education.
They ask me how one goes about becoming a director, and I say, "Unless you have 300,000, its impossible".
I believe that art is built on personality, and the director is the main personality,
the one who organizes the whole process.
If we no longer have outstanding personalities, we will see a correspondingly different level in our cinema and theater.
My question is, Mr President, would it be possible to resolve this problem through the system of presidential grants?
Yes, of course. These grants are already in operation, and I think they apply to this area as well.
I have not yet heard anything.
The current legislation makes it possible to receive only one state-funded (free) higher education.
This is the truth of the situation, but it is possible to make special provisions in the grant system.
In other words, the system is already up and running
and we just need to see whether it currently applies to this area of activity or not.
I know the Culture Ministry has already raised this issue and I support them.
I do not think the sums in question are so large.
This is a case-by-case situation.
You are right, directors are unique products, and so, of course, we can do something here.
We support this idea...
Thank you very much.
I believe there are many people listening and applauding this decision of yours right now.
To the new Shukshin.
Incidentally, on the subject of grants, you came to us last year...
Today, by the way, one of our outstanding directors,
Andrei Konchalovsky, is celebrating his 80th birthday.
Let us give him a around of applause and congratulate him.
He has just put together a new group of students
at GITIS (Russian Academy of Theater Arts).
As concerns grants, another Tavrida grantee is a person you supported last year.
I would like to say a few words.
His name is Alexei, and he represents a community of architects
and the Moscow Institute of Architecture.
He developed a Kremlin renovation project.
Can you tell us a little more about it?
Will have to relocate for the renovation?
Or can I stay in my office?
No, relocation is not necessary.
Our project concerns the restoration of the Chudov Monastery
and the Ascension Convent on the site of demolished Building 14.
We showed you this project last year and, having received the grant, we completed it.
It was actually your idea, you voiced it in 2014, and we started working on it almost immediately.
Our approach went beyond simple restoration of architectural monuments.
The goal is to revive Russian national culture reflected in architecture; that is, not only to restore the past,
but to create the future on the firm foundation of our great history, which is equally important.
You also mentioned that this project needs promotion.
Are you an architect?
Yes.
You speak like a writer or a poet.
It is a pleasure to listen to you.
Thank you.
You said that the project needs to be put out for public discussion, which we tried to do.
It has featured in two documentaries on federal channels.
We gave an interview and presented the project at some of the most prestigious architectural conferences.
We also produced a book, and I would like to give you a copy.
This book describes how the project uses a combination of modern computer technology
and traditional practices of classical restoration schools.
Recently we showed this project to Patriarch Kirill,
and he said that it was very important and supported it.
Moreover, this project became, if I may say so, an element of Russia's soft power abroad.
Just recently, the government of Republika Srpska within Bosnia and Herzegovina
decided to use one of the churches from the project as a prototype for their church devoted
to the Romanov family i the capital, Banja Luka.
With support of the Sretensky Monastery in Moscow,
we have already agreed on this with the eparchy and got approval for the project.
Mr Putin, on behalf of our team,
I would like to say that we want to continue working on this project and,
if possible and upon your instruction, to present it officially to the public.
After that, if possible, we could start bringing it to life.
I believe this project could cultivate a new generation of architects who will not only be creative
but also an important, patriotic and spiritual elite.
Russian architecture has always flourished and thrived intellectually in conditions like these.
What is your name?
Alexei Kapustin
Alexei, I like this idea very much.
The only constraining factor is the opinion
of your colleagues and experts in history, architecture and archeology.
Many say,
"You should not touch this. No new-builds should appear at the Kremlin.
As good as it may be, it will still look like a new-build against
the background of ancient preserved churches."
This is the first factor.
Secondly, this concerns a place where excavations are considered necessary by archaeologists.
Overall, this is an issue for discussion;
it cannot be approved by a sole authority,
this has to be a sustained decision expressed by the public
either to recreate what used to be in this place or to preserve what we have.
But the decision can be made only
on the basis of an extensive public discussion.
The idea itself is appealing; it would be good to revive what we lost.
The question is whether we can leave unharmed the things we have preserved
while restoring the ones we lost.
Let us think about it together.
The forum here is open to people with different abilities,
including those with unlimited abilities, and we are proud of this.
Some things are far from perfect as regards architecture and accessibility,
but we are working on it.
I would like to give Svetlana the opportunity to ask her question, she is raising her hand.
Good afternoon, Mr Putin.
I have been waiting for this meeting for three years,
to personally thank you for the peaceful skies
and the opportunity for us, creative people, to do what we love.
Thank you very much for this.
Our grandparents, sadly, did not have such an opportunity.
But back to the point.
I am Sveta Kozinova, a fashion designer from Moscow.
As you can see, I represent a rather small group of Russian citizens
of about 13 million people.
There is a problem - no one creates stylish and comfortable clothing for us.
See the irony?
13 million million is almost ten percent of our population.
It is neither few nor many.
Unfortunately, the is number is growing among young people and adults,
no one is immune to that.
No one creates stylish and comfortable clothes for us, and no one considers our opinion.
At this forum, after speaking to experts,
we have come to the conclusion that it is time to change the situation and to act.
This is why we have launched a project
that allows over 250 disabled people
from Russia to engage in designing and creating
a full-cycle inclusive clothing collection.
I would like to ask you,
as the most popular person in Russian and world media,
and your team to take part in this project and support it in various ways.
You mentioned this at just the right time, and here is why.
The Government is working on a corresponding document, a strategy,
but it is very specific and related
to the support of production facilities manufacturing
rehabilitation equipment for people with physical disabilities.
This issue can and definitely should be included in the strategy.
I believe some considerable financing has been envisaged
for two or three years - up to 1.5 billion for a start,
so we will definitely include your issue there as well.
Can I ask one more question?
Aside from financial support, which is important,
are you, as the leader of our country, prepared
to take part in an advertising campaign for this clothing?
For this clothing, I am.
Thank you very much.
