Выше я выписал две цитаты о том, как бездействие и политическая пассивность российской культуры в течение последних десятилетий стала платформой для всего, что происходит. Очевидно, практически никто в России сейчас не будет вещать с аналогичной позиции, поэтому изучить ее мне кажется еще более важным. Вот еще один текст. Since the war started on February 24, the responses from Russian intellectuals revealed their inability to understand how the ongoing war is in large part a result of their political passivity. For years, modern Russia has cultivated complex narratives that separated culture from politics while using that same culture to distract the West from Russia’s wars, human rights violations, censorship, and persecution of political dissidents. At the same time, Russian culture received wide representation in Europe and the U.S., supported both by Russian oligarchs’ oil and gas money and international nonprofits aimed at giving a platform to voices of dissent. Paradoxically, all these vastly varying currents have established the same axiom: culture cannot change real politics. news.artnet.com/opinion…-2079885
