Ministry of Culture. The ministers of the era of change. 1992-2020

This book is the history of the desperate struggle for the survival of culture in modern Russia. The fight against the legacy and heirs of Gaidar and his team for state support for culture. The struggle against applicants for "return" - that is, the export of cultural values, rightfully belonging to the country. The struggle against the primitive mass culture and claims of the kichevoy "art" for preserving high art.

However, even the chubs of Chubais"s nest gained their voice in the face of the state’s indifference to culture. The authors trace how little the situation has changed.
