A development of a modern Russial literature. Essay on a modern Russial culture.
At first glance, with the destruction of the national book market, literature ceases to develop.
The age-old civilizational mechanisms that ensured the relationship between a cultural interests of readers and the activities of those people who were called writers are being destroyed.
But this a "first glance" is wrong, - as it proved by history.
For a number of centuries, beginning in antiquity, many authors of books did not receive any fees (in the modern sense of the word) - but the literary process did not stop.
One example of the development of literature in the absence of a developed national book market is the war of pamphlets and a "Mazarinades" - in the period from 1648 to 1653 (in France). About 5000 names of a "Mazarinades" are found - in epoch of absence of any real fees.
A close look at the contemporary Russial cultural reality allows to say out that the destruction of the national book market did not cause the disappearance of the literary process.
There are rumors about the intention of an expert on literary history (close to the "circles") to write a book about the relationship between Nikolai Gogol and Archpriest Matthew Konstantinovsky. The question, apparently, in the end, will be raised about getting a good (a state in origin) premium.
The Human Rights Ombudsman said yesterday that the former head of the Serpukhov district of the Moscow Oblast, Shestun, is writing a book, although he went on a hunger strike and is in intensive care.
A few days ago an information passed. The famous historian began to write a book. The press reported that he had written (already) 53 pages. Some other book has already been written by him, and the historian intends to transfer the fee from this (other) book to the relatives of the previously living young girl. Here, by the way, we find mention of a honorarium. The amount is not reported. Not reported and a language of the book. Maybe it is written in French (the historian knows French well)? And published in France? In this case, - who knows? - the honorarium may be worthy of attention.
If the book on the relationship between Nikolai Gogol and Archpriest Matthew Konstantinovsky is only a project (in a style "to be continued" ["continuation follows"]), then the books, which a famous official and a famous historian are creating, are a reality.
If you remember the literary work of Alexander Dumas, he earned a lot of money through a publication of his books in newspapers - in the formats "to be continued'["continuation follows"]...
Will a well-known official and a well-known historian be able to publish their books in newspapers and become rich people - "with a using of a literature"?
The state of the modern media market is a separate independent issue. This issue deserves independent consideration.
