The role of the writer in the modern cultural environment. An essay.
More recently, we mentioned the RG (Rossiyskaya Gazeta) (in connection with historical innovations in the interpretation of the uprising of 1863 in the territory of the former Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth"). (MMLXXVII. Konstanty Kalinowski and the Achievements of Contemporary Russial Historical Science. An essay. - March 20, 2021.).
(There is, of course, a separate topic - how some media representatives replaced innocent people in buses, then moved in these buses together with the initiators of the events, and then received awards for this...).
However, as the poet wrote: "There are subtle invisible connections between the shape and the smell of the flower...'
From the Rossiyskaya Gazeta, we turn to the figure of Pavel Basinsky.
Why is this topic of interest? The modern politicians, for many reasons, urgently need the reputation of cultured, humane people.
And how to acquire this reputation?
Conditional Vanya Zhukov, who returned after a hard day, spent at the chemical plant, has two minutes after dinner and before bedtime (before the next shift at the plant) to listen to the radio or watch TV.
During these minutes, he must absorb convincing information about the culture nature and humanity of political figures. Conditional Vanya Zhukov sees how cultural figures rub against influential people.
After this picture, the everything is clear to Vanya Zhukov. If cultured people are around them, then they are cultured and humane people.
So, Pavel Basinsky was known for a long time as an employee of the Rossiyskaya Gazeta. His position (post) in different cases sounded different.
January 7, 2021 we have included into the miniature "[MCMXLII.] Oscaritos on the Kosti-NF. The story (continued)' a question that has nothing to do with Pavel Basinsky:
"After the provincial prize and the sale of a commemorative sign at an Internet auction (allegedly, he received 16 thousand dollars), Mr. Barefoot went on another cultural trip at the state expense? He will travel, and by his arrival the ghostwriters will write the next book. He will edit - and to printing! A literature is developing.'
What you think?
Getting acquainted with the publications in the RG on the topic of the uprising of 1863, we, at the same time, learned that now the word "writer" is put next to the name and surname "Pavel Basinsky".
Maybe he stopped being a staff employee (contract employee) of the RG? Maybe they stopped paying him travel expenses from the RG funds?
It's not clear... Although - it's a state money... What secrets can there be?...
If Pavel Basinsky makes, for example, a tour of the Siberian taiga, it is clear that this trip will not be at the state expense...
Thus, Pavel Basinsky is called a "writer".
We read an article in Wikipedia and find that Pavel Basinsky at some point switched from writing works about Maxim Gorky to works about Leo Tolstoy.
This is where the question arises: "A writer - who is he?'
For example, let's look at Yuri Vladimirovich Mann. He has a huge list of publications. But Wikipedia calls him a "Soviet and Russian the literature researcher." "A specialist, first of all, in the works of Nikolai Gogol."
"BASINSKY PAVEL VALERYEVICH - literature researcher, writer. ( ... ) He studied at the Department of Foreign Languages of the Saratov University, in 1986 he graduated from the Gorky Literary Institute, defended his PhD thesis on the topic "Gorky and Nietzsche". " (https://gvardiya.ru/authors/basinskiy-pavel-valerevich). He works at the Literary Institute (1986-1995, associate professor since 2010). (Wikipedia).
What is the difference between a literature researcher and a writer?
A literature researcher is primarily a scientist.
A literature researcher, scientist, as a rule, is included in some organizational scientific structure. A numerous people - full - time employees (contract employees) of scientific structures - work in favour of him-under successful circumstances.
("MOSCOW, June 12 [2019]. /TASS/. ( ... ) Winners of [state] awards in the field of literature and art ( ... ) A literature researcher Pavel Basinsky during the ceremony noted that his books "would not have been born if it were not for the daily and painstaking work of many people, entire teams." In particular, he expressed his gratitude to the staff of the Yasnaya Polyana Estate Museum, the Leo Tolstoy Museum in Moscow, the staff of the Institute of World Literature, the Maxim Gorky Literary Institute, as well as the editorial office of Rossiyskaya Gazeta, where Basinsky has been working for almost 15 years." (https://tass.ru/kultura/6542852)).
So what if a literature researcher stands next to an influential political figure? This, in itself, is not bad. But it won't have any impact on the audience. It won't convince anyone of anything. A literature researchers are the staff employees (contract employees). Dependent people... They do not have a legendary historical reputation.
The"writer" is quite another matter!
Behind the word "writer", according to the law of psychological association (of psychological links), the population see Alexander Pushkin with "Boris Godunov" and Pushkin's attempt to argue with Nicholas the First ("argued with the tsars"), Nikolai Gogol with "The Government Inspector", Leo Tolstoy with "I can't be silent!'...
Influencers create the people with the name "writer".
People with a plate "writer" at the right moments are placing themselves next to influential political figures in order to make the right impression on the conditional Vanya Zhukov.
