Traditionally, each year is held under one or another auspices. And to the question: “What is the next year 2019 announced in Russia?”, the answer is already known - it will become a landmark for the entire theatrical community of the country. By presidential decree, work is now underway to develop a strategy state support and the development of an action plan.

Year of the theater: presidential decree and latest news

At the end of April, Head of State Vladimir Putin decided to hold the Year in Russia next year, 2019. In this regard, a decree was signed with an order to organize a special committee to approve the composition and develop an action plan. This decision was positively accepted by workers in the cultural sector.

How they transmit last news, the signing of the decree was preceded by a meeting with Alexander Kalyagin, who, in addition to his position artistic director Moscow theater Et Cetera, holds the post of president of the Union of Theater Workers of Russia. The discussion touched upon the issues of financing, holding new festivals, popularizing the theater among the younger generation, as well as the main theses of the state support program being developed.

Important! Full text document posted on the official website - Presidential Decree No. 181 of April 28.

During the meeting, the president of the Union of Theater Workers presented to the head of state a three-page plan with a list of options for solving the most actual problems faced by the culture of the theatrical sphere, including on issues wages, technical base, education and repair.

Theatrical culture

In total, according to the data of the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation in 2017, there are 614 theaters in the country. Of them:

• local jurisdiction - 589;
• federal jurisdiction - 25.

Main performance indicators of Russian theaters (data of the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation for 2017)

In total, about 85 thousand employees are employed in this industry, including citizens with disabilities. Also, according to the department, every Russian theater is provided with Internet access, has email and its own website (613 out of 614), which contains up-to-date information on the repertoire and activities. However, only 239 official pages have a version for blind and visually impaired people. Thus, what is dedicated next year, will positively affect the development of the industry and increase prestige among the population.

Traditionally theater season starts in autumn and ends in spring. AT summer period troupes go on tour to other regions, prepare for the new season - drawing up a repertoire plan, rehearsals.

It's so customary that every year is dedicated to something, and what exactly is decided by the government of the country. For example, the outgoing year 2017 was declared the year of ecology. And what will the coming year 2018 be dedicated to in Russia? This issue has not yet been fully resolved, but there are several versions. This will be discussed in this article.

There is a proposal that the upcoming 2018 will be declared the year of ballet in Russia. What prompted this proposal?

It turns out that 2018 will mark the bicentenary of the birth of the remarkable and illustrious choreographer Marius Petipa.

This great person born in France, however most spent his life in Russia and made a great contribution to the development of Russian ballet.

He directed about sixty performances, including:

• "Sleeping Beauty";
• "Don Quixote";
• "Giselle";
• "La Bayadere";
• Pharaoh's Daughter, etc.

President Putin supported this idea to declare 2018 the year of ballet in Russia.

Theater year

Minister of Culture Medinsky said that next year should be dedicated to Russian theater. The head of the Ministry of Culture explained his choice by the fact that this type of art is the least common in Russia. If in Moscow and St. Petersburg the situation is even better, then on the periphery people are completely deprived of theatrical spectacles.

If 2018 in Russia is declared the year of the theater by presidential decree, this will help solve many problems.

As a result:

1. Tours of theater groups around the country are being activated.
2. Remote regions of the country will get acquainted with theatrical art.
3. The aesthetic and intellectual level population.
4. The repertoire of theater groups will expand.

Theater is an introduction to the beautiful, a break from the gloomy and gray reality, a holiday that should always be in the life of every Russian.

The question of the affordability of ticket prices will be considered separately, because with this in recent times arose big problems. High ticket prices make this form of art out of reach for some sections of society, this should not be. The government will make every effort to resolve this issue.

Year of Volunteers and Citizens' Activism

Reflecting on the question of what year 2018 will be declared in Russia, the government has come to the decision to make the coming year a year of civic engagement. This idea was proposed by A.Tratsev, Putin liked it. Now everyone expects that by decree of the President of the Russian Federation, 2018 in Russia will be declared the year of volunteers and civic activity.

The fact is that next year the World Cup will take place in our country, and many volunteers will be involved in the work. We must pay tribute to these people who voluntarily give their time and effort to the service of the Motherland, and do it free of charge! Usually the work of such people remains in the shadows, but they must be thanked, and next year is a great time for this.

There are many volunteers in our country, but they still remain faceless, the time has come to shed light on this wonderful activity. There were especially many of them during the Winter Olympics in Sochi in 2014. The activity of citizens in Russia has always been popular, since the pre-revolutionary period. It is not necessary to stop this wonderful tradition, but to encourage it in every possible way.

Year of Solzhenitsyn

Most likely, 2018 in Russia will be declared the year of Solzhenitsyn by presidential decree, for which there is a reason. The coming year will mark the centenary of the writer's birth. Many did not even know exactly when this great man was born. That's why this proposal was put forward.

Descendants should remember their predecessors, talented and courageous people who dedicated their lives to society.

He is the first in Hard times shed the light of truth on the terrible events that took place in the country, kept under a veil of secrecy. Topic Stalinist repressions was covered in his books, which were banned for a long time (for example, The Gulag Archipelago). He was threatened, he knew what awaited him, but he was not afraid to open people's eyes to the truth. For this, the brave writer suffered a lot from the Soviet regime.

In the coming year, a museum will be opened in his apartment in the capital.

Year of the fight against cancer

There is a proposal that 2018 in Russia will be declared the year of the fight against such a terrible disease as cancer. Over time, this disease is becoming more common in people, and the number of people affected by malignant tumors is increasing. We must begin a serious confrontation with this scourge of the century, to which the coming year will be devoted. Increased mortality is what Russians fear because of this disease.

Of course, all people want to live longer, to see grandchildren and even great-grandchildren, but sometimes the growth of tumors crosses out all far-reaching plans. This is scary! The government will make every effort to strengthen and develop medicine in this direction, to improve diagnostics, and to develop new equipment for the treatment of oncological diseases.

Planned for the coming year:

• to intensify cancer diagnostics accessible to all;
• to increase the access of all segments of society to progressive methods of cancer treatment;
• improve research in this direction.

The government promised to do everything possible to stop the increase in the number of cancers.

Year of the engineer

There was another idea to make the coming year the year of the engineer. People of this profession promote progress in the country, create possible and impossible discoveries in science, and raise the level of technological development in Russia.

As a result of their work, the prestige of our country is growing all over the world. Therefore, it is worth paying tribute to modest people such important profession. The purpose of this is to attract the interest of young people to this important activity.

Year of development of cultural relations with Japan

A year ago, during the visit of the Minister of Culture Medinsky to the country rising sun, it was decided to make 2018 the year of Japan in our country. What explains this?

Our relations with this country are not quite ideal - a peace treaty has not been signed so far, there are territorial claims. But in order to improve the situation between the powers, there is a way out - cooperation and open dialogue.

In the coming year, various festivals and competitions will be held in order to better know the traditions and culture of the Japanese people. The government will make every effort to achieve strong ties and normalize relations between Japan and Russia.

Year of development of tourism relations between India and Russia

Foreign policy ties are very important for improving the political, economic and tourism spheres of our country. Therefore, the President noted the importance of designating 2018 as the year of tourism between Russia and India. Putin, at a meeting with Narenda Madi, agreed on the development of trade and tourism relations. Many say that it is possible to introduce a visa-free regime between these two countries.

So far, Russian tourism in this sunny country is not as widespread as, for example, in Turkey or Egypt. But it is precisely for this that the dedication of 2018 to the tourism relations between India and Russia is important.

year of unity

Representatives of the Assembly of Peoples of the Russian Federation put forward their idea for the name of the next year. Russia is a multinational country, and in order to avoid conflicts between different nations, it is necessary to learn to respect one's own and foreign nations.

The Year of Unity will be aimed at erasing borders in equality various peoples, to study the cultures and characteristics of each nationality. In Russia, too, there are many peoples on the verge of extinction. The year 2018 can be aimed at preserving these distinctive nations, their language and culture.

Year of unity of the Russian nation

The Head of the Assembly of Peoples of the Russian Federation noted with pleasure that the initiative to declare 2018 the “Year of Unity of the Peoples of Russia” was supported by V. Putin at a meeting of the Interethnic Council in Astrakhan. “It is very pleasant that Vladimir Vladimirovich emphasized in his closing speech that he supported our initiative,” Smirnova said.

She hopes that national associations gladly accepted the President's message. Svetlana Smirnova recalled that 193 nationalities are registered in Russia, which is a huge potential.

Year of civic engagement and volunteering

At the Council “Forum of Action. Regions” the ONF addressed the president with the initiative to declare 2018 the “Year of civic engagement and volunteering”. At the same time, the relevance of involving people with disabilities in active life. The director of the Club of Volunteers emphasized that drawing the attention of the country's residents to inclusive projects in the year of the World Cup will increase the activity of citizens and bring the issue to new levels. He noted: “The activity of people with disabilities (limited mobility groups) is being hindered due to the lack or lack of experience in inclusive projects.”

Volunteer centers, although they hold actions, but people with disabilities are only spectators, when in some cases they could become actors. The Inclusive Club of Volunteers is the country's first innovative public organization that promotes inclusive social volunteering. The club develops, develops and popularizes methods of inclusive practice, establishes cooperation between people with and without disabilities, and develops volunteerism.

Theater year

The Minister of Culture of the Russian Federation V. Medinsky noted that Alexander Kalyagin took the initiative to declare 2018 the “Year of the Theater”. This decision will stimulate the development theater movement in the country. An increase in the repertoire, active tours also contribute to the popularization of the theater.

The Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation supports theaters at the level of 2014. This contributed to an increase in the number of staged performances. This year it is planned to increase financial support tours of federal and regional theaters.

Year of Solzhenitsyn

Centenary of birth amazing person, writer, philosopher A. Solzhenitsyn the world will celebrate in 2018. A plan of commemorative events is being developed, including about 90 events aimed at popularizing Solzhenitsyn's work. In 2018, a memorial apartment on Tverskaya in Moscow will open, a museum of the writer will appear in Ryazan. memorable date plan to celebrate in Russia and Europe.

Year of national ballet

The year 2018 can be dedicated to the bicentenary of the birth of the outstanding choreographer M. Petipa. O. Golodets announced this: “We decided to initiate 2018 as the year of Russian ballet and Marius Petipa. I think this decision will draw attention to ballet at home and abroad.”

The organizing committee for the anniversary will include representatives of France and Russia. Events will be held throughout the country, including Sakhalin and Kamchatka. Topics to be added to the curriculum dedicated to history ballet, the work of M. Petipa. Initiated the announcement of 2018 as the Year of Petipa by the Academy. Vaganova.

The creative heritage of the choreographer includes about 60 ballets, including:

• "Daughter of the Pharaoh";
• "Don Quixote";
• "King Kandavl";
• "Mascot";
• "La Bayadere";
• "Raymond".

Every year in Russia is held under one or another slogan. It happens that a difficult economic situation develops in a country, and people may need some kind of help. In some cases, it is necessary to support one or another sector of the economy in order to solve all-Russian economic problems.

On the this moment it is not known what topic will be raised in the future 2018. For this reason, we can only speculate about what problems the Russian public can look at in the near future.

Year of civic engagement and volunteering

We live in a society where many people do not even have the basic necessities. AT this case It's not about those who need financial assistance(although there are many just such people), but about those who suffer from a particular disease.

Also in this context, it is worth remembering the disabled. Unfortunately, people with disabilities do not have the opportunity to live a full life. healthy person. In some cases, they can't even go to the grocery store. This is a very depressing situation, which, of course, requires increased attention.

In order to somehow improve the lives of people with disabilities, it was decided to call the 2018 calendar year the year of civic engagement.

This proposal was put forward by A. Travtsev, and V. Putin supported him, remembering that the sprouts of this movement originated in distant years under the tsar, when some people were promoting a variety of ideas. He also praised the contribution of many people who work in an inclusive field that involves the most different types labor activity.

The thing is that even those who have a very limited opportunities. It also happens that these people are completely deprived of any opportunity to study in the most ordinary educational institutions. It is also extremely difficult for them to find a job. This is also due to the presence of certain physical defects.

Volunteers in this area could help defend civil rights such people and contribute to the fact that city authorities are more likely to think about creating ramps and other structures that can significantly facilitate the movement of disabled people around the city.

Even if you look at an ordinary Russian store, you can see that there is absolutely nothing there that could make life easier for a wheelchair user, although there are exceptions (rarely).

Year of A. Solzhenitsyn

The initiative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs also looks very interesting. The fact is that they made a proposal to name the next calendar year in honor of one of the most outstanding Russian leaders culture and arts, writer A. Solzhenitsyn.

Solzhenitsyn's contribution to development Russian society It is simply impossible to overestimate, because it is really huge. The thing is that already in the 2018 calendar year it will be exactly 100 years since the birth of this world-famous writer and public figure.

It is worth noting that if it were not for Solzhenitsyn, then it is quite possible that the world would not have been able to learn about all the horrors of the Soviet Gulag and the crimes and terror of the Stalinist regime. No wonder Solzhenitsyn became a laureate Nobel Prize and received the deserved recognition of the most different countries Europe and America.

This man made a significant contribution to the defeat of the communist authorities and the creation of a new democratic Russia. Many would very much like the next 2018 to be named after this legendary writer and public figure, whose name has forever remained on tombstone Soviet Union.

Year of cultural exchanges between Japan and Russia

As you know, Japan is one of the largest neighbors of Russia. Despite this, relations between the two countries are not so high level, as we would like.

Government assistance may be required to fix this. In particular, an excellent method for this can be the establishment of relations with this highly developed state.

Year of the engineer

This proposal was put forward by the Association of Engineers. After that, the National Chamber made this proposal to V. Putin.

The point is that in this moment there is a slight decrease in this specialty, although it can be called quite important for the whole country, because without engineers it is impossible to imagine either the construction of roads, or bridges, or tunnels, or any structures whatsoever.

Sector information technologies intercepted the palm from the engineers, therefore, in order to somehow correct the situation, everything possible should be done in order to correct such an unpleasant situation.

AT Russian Federation every year is traditionally held under some slogan. The purpose of this tradition is to draw public attention to important issues in the life of the country. At present, the question of what 2018 will be devoted to is not yet resolved. Let's note only some moments to which the Russian public, calls to pay attention.

Theater year

The proposal to make 2018 the year of the theater comes from the Minister of Culture of the Russian Federation V. Medinsky. He believes that the time has come to draw public attention to such a cultural object as a theater. In his opinion, Russian artists create performances that can compete with the best examples world culture. At the same time, insufficient attention is paid to the temple of arts in our country. The dedication of 2018 to the theater can push cultural figures to create new masterpieces, improve the material support of theaters and increase the flow of spectators. State support will certainly help improve the situation with touring activities.

Year of Unity of Russia

The initiative to spend 2018 under this slogan belongs to representatives of the Assembly of Peoples of the Russian Federation. It is a well-known fact that Russia is a multinational state. In this regard, one should not ignore the interests of each of the peoples inhabiting our country. The Year of Russia's Unity will help strengthen existing ties and provide an incentive for the development of the self-identity of nations.

Year of civic engagement and volunteering

Leader of the Action Forum. Regions” A. Tratsev proposed calling the coming year 2018 the year of civic engagement. V. Putin supported this idea and recalled that the sprouts of this movement were born in tsarist times, when individuals were engaged in the promotion of various ideas. He appreciated the contribution of people working in an inclusive field that involves different types of activities. They can be used by persons with disabilities. Many of these people are deprived of the opportunity to study in regular educational institutions. They also find it difficult to get a job due to their physical handicaps. Volunteers of the described sphere defend the rights of people with disabilities and advocate for their full participation in public life.

It will also be appropriate to remember the volunteers in connection with the World Championship 2018 in Russia. During this sporting event, the role of volunteers will be invaluable. This was shown by the experience of the Olympics in Sochi.

Year of Russian ballet

O. Golodets, deputy head of the Russian government, proposed spending a year with such a motto. She stated this at a meeting dedicated to the organization of the celebration of the bicentenary of the great figure of Russian ballet M. Petipa. Prior to this, the Academy of Russian Ballet asked to make 2018 the year of Petipa. According to this petition, a decree was issued by President V. Putin.

Year of A. Solzhenitsyn

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation proposed to name the year in honor of the outstanding public figure and writer A. Solzhenitsyn. The fact is that 2018 marks the centennial date of his birth. In the same year, it is planned to open a museum-apartment of the writer in Moscow.

In honor of this date, the Government of the Russian Federation has developed a number of events. In general, for country will be about ninety events dedicated to creative heritage this famous philosopher. All of them will be aimed at popularizing his books and will take place throughout the year.
