The steamer is modern. Chemiaev S.

Until recently, the state of modern Russian mass culture caused concern in some, others had a sharp rejection. Too many in her was soil, tasteless, elaborate. But when the situation in the world sharply worsened, some representatives of the creative intelligentsia hoped: if you loudly declare their disagreement with the policy of the state, then the West will not only praise for this position, but will give money.

Famous media persons began to actively leave Russia. Moreover, they argue that after their departure in the cultural space of the country, only a scorched desert will remain. But, to their surprise, most citizens only welcome flight and pray so that the fugitives do not return back. In the arsenal of science fiction, there are many powerful literary techniques: hyperbole, grotesque, satire, accurate analysis of what is happening, performed by artistic means. So, you can not stand aside when you can help the Russian culture get rid of the closed on self -praise and far -fetched elitism of the "party".

The organizers of the project "Steamboat of the modernity" chose this name not by chance. The "steamer" in the history of Russian culture is a multi -digit image. The “Philosophical Steamboat” is a collective term for several flights, which in 1922 took out an intelligentsia that did not recognize the new government. And the expression “reset from the steamer of our time” was invented by the futurists: they were going to do this with all the classics, starting with Pushkin; Fortunately, it was just literary hooliganism. The image that came from the past became relevant and changed the sign from the minus to the plus.

What are they, passengers of a new ship, from the 21st century?
