Почему культура важнее политики? Разговор с Александром Генисом*

In the new episode of "Evening with Genis*," we'll have a long, leisurely conversation about culture, weather, memory, and lifestyle. We'll discuss: — How America and Russia cope with snowfall — Greenland, the North, and the philosophy of living on ice — The cultural "counterrevolution" in the United States — Architecture, universities, and the return of the classics — Mikhail Saltykov-Shchedrin, satire, and the grotesque — Grandma Moses and the phenomenon of naive art — Food as part of culture: cheesecake, bread, and local traditions This conversation, free from political hysteria and news fuss, is about culture in the broadest sense of the word.
