Former head of Department of culture of Moscow, and nowadays the head of the research Center of cultural Economics economic faculty of Moscow state University spoke at the SPIEF-2016 to support creative businesses

On idol of the Moscow creative youth almost nothing was heard for more than a year. March 2015-го. The essence, from the his resonance dismissal from the post of head of the Department of Culture. Media reported that after the rapid resignation of the former Minister of Moscow Sergei Kapkov married and began to read lectures on urban development and Economics of culture at MSU. The rest — quiet.

at the end of 2015, it became known that Kapkov involved in the development of a concept paper "the Strategy-2030". The government has asked experts to select the most promising areas in the economy of the future upon which to focus. Area of responsibility Kapkov in this project —, the development of large cities and the economy of culture.

Around this same subject was discussed on 16 June 2016 participants in the panel discussion, held at the St. Petersburg international economic forum (SPIEF). Kapkov said. And it was a rare, if not the first year the appearance in the information field of the author of the famous meme "well...pick it Up and go to work." in Fact, 40-летний modern administrator and today opposes the freebies and the distribution of money, and is campaigning for loans, grants, and other forms of business support in the sphere of culture. In his speech, , the fragments of which were published by TASS, the former Minister proposes to think not only about what will happen in 15 years, and today to support young people engaged in creative industries. We are talking about the support at the highest state level — on the part of the Ministry of culture and the Ministry of industry — through the instruments of grants, loans, research programmes for creative businesses. "Initially, required support of the state, at least to notice them, to show that we are not less valuable than oil", — said Kapkov. Among its proposals is the creation of a "creative incubator for cultural businesses and the creation of a Fund for creative entrepreneurs, i.e. people who know how to sell creativity." But in the current environment looks bold, wise, and, alas, too futuristic. System approach, farming — work long, protracted and unpredictable results, as SKOLKOVO.

I do believe that the right process will start naturally, when the fashion for art. And it needs to start with simple steps that "take" is not so much time and did not require money. For example, officials and authorities can start to go to the exhibition not in Monaco, and Russia. Putin Serov. And better not only for Valentin Serov, but in contemporary art. Quite would be good to take with them not only retinue, but also "captains of business". So in fact, it seems that Reagan handled himself with the financing of culture and running cultural businesses?

the People will accept and decode such signals. And after the fashion appear and the money and ideas, and cultural businesses as-нибудь spun. Now imagine that the opening days will come, for example, Surkov, Shuvalov or Costin with Sechin. Don't start the situation to change? However, rather than wait until they swing, would come himself Kapkov — would be very good. The press and attention to the exhibition of the guest will be provided. And there, look, and creative businesses will catch up.
