Abstract

In the modern world, the fact that in the basis of all the «dead ends» of Russia there is only one main fundamental question - the question of individual and collective self-identification, which has become topical in the result of the loss of axiological markers by the modern, becomes more and more obvious. And economics cannot answer this question. In connection with the mentioned, the society comes to understanding that the way out of the given situation will be found only in case the Culture becomes the most important national priority of the country development. It is the authors opinion that main contradiction, which interferes with the becoming of culture as a main factor of the Russian State recovery, is its narrow-minded understanding by the modern politicians, officials and by the main part of the country population as a sphere of leisure and entertainment, but not as a historically formed self-developing and self-regulating system, which obeys objective laws, generates values, norms and traditions, being a treasurer of the nations spiritual experience, and the way of nations self-conscious formation. Speaking about realization of the creative potential of culture, the author focus on the a separate type - the type of cultural policy - in the general policy of the State, within which frames one should clearly differentiate a proper cultural policy and an operative management over the current culturecreative processes as two different levels of strategy and tactics of management activity. In the article cultural policy is perceived as a complex of scientifically based view points and measures for provision of an exhaustive socio-cultural modernization of the society and structural reforms of all the system of the culture-producing institutions; as a system of new principles of proportioning of the state and social components in social and cultural life; as a complex of measures for provision of an anticipatory formation of scientific and educational support of these principles, for provision of a goal-oriented personnel training for competent regulation of future socio-cultural processes, and what is the main - as a conscious correction of the general content of the native culture. In the end of the article there is a realization of the defined priorities of the cultural policy becomes the matter of not only a narrow, limited set of people, being professionally connected with the sphere of culture, but of a wide range of specialists, being responsible for public management of socio-economical and socio-political processes. The process of realization must have a regulating influence on mass media activity, publicity, and industry of leisure and show business, which now become sectors of the economical process, using the cultural product as a means of financial profit deriving. Stating of a new paradigm and imperatives of the modern cultural policy, contributing to departmental closeness overcoming, can and must influence the life of the Russian society.
