This cultural project of the publishing company «Interros», launched in 2007. The project focuses on the unique phenomenon of Russian culture in the 1960's and 1990's - «Soviet primitive».

The topic of naive art of the Soviet Union - first and foremost issue of vanishing cultural memory. Creativity Soviet «naive» artists today rapidly back and forth. A true - nowhere. Paintings self forever disappear from public view, at best osedaya in private collections, in the worst - was killed in zapustevshih homes designated for demolition. This stratum of culture nevospolnim: The authors of paintings are usually very elderly and many have died. Their art has intrinsic value, where it arose, and it is necessary first of all, we, born and living in Russia today.

The first phase of the project publications program «Interros» «Sovetskoe naïve art» was the issue in 2007, the same 380-page illustrated book.

Success Niko Pirosmani , search for jobs in neoprimitiva Mikhail Larionov and Natalia Goncharova , the language of primitive passion of the artist 1930's and the new wave of interest in him during the 1960 -- All this suggests a natural effect of naive art in a professional artistic process. In a country where apple art lesson at school was to «promote compassion labor and farmers sovhoznikov», as citizens, according to statistics, spending an average of just under two cents a year for visits to museums and exhibitions, the traction to take any kind of art has been remarkably great.

reverse the impact of professional artists to self-create itself the Soviet reality. Many professional artists, focusing on their own creativity and avoid daily work on the custom portraits of leaders and panorama factory in factories Art Fund, often went to teach in the clubs, art schools, houses of culture. In correspondence, the national university of arts (ZNUI), existed for many years and has taught well-known painters, and graphics. The artist and student, separated not only prior experience of life, but hundreds of kilometers long to become friends by correspondence. Students send new work, and teachers to write reviews, give professional advice.
