Studying sources helps historians to see how people lived in the past. To do this, you first need to collect historical materials, and then carefully check their authenticity.

2.1. Concert and entertainment cultural institutions. They include theaters, concert organizations, sports and entertainment complexes, circuses, cinemas and are mainly focused on demonstration, broadcasting of samples, cultural values, i.e. for the actualization of the cultural fund, for the introduction into circulation of such values, samples, norms, their reproduction and the introduction of innovations into the existing cultural fund, including the fund of artistic culture. All of them do not exist outside the audience, outside direct contact with it. the exception is cinema, where such contact is mediated by technical means that make it possible to replicate the creative result (film). This makes film production widely available, while theater, play, concert, sport, spectacle, etc. are individual events.
In relation to society, these institutions perform socializing role, introducing people to values, norms not only artistic, but also moral, political, etc., presenting them with samples, standards of socially significant situations. It is no coincidence that in Russia at all times there is a great social significance they gave the theater as a "teacher of life", capable of influencing the mind and heart of a person. The heroes of plays and films are often looked upon as models.
important and consolidating role institutions of this type, uniting certain categories of people on the basis of common interests. Such are groups, communities, even clubs of theater lovers, fans of any artists, sports fans.
The block of functions focused on the activity of the individual occupies, on the whole, a more modest place. They are largely recognized and declared as satisfying the diverse tastes of different groups of the population.
2.2. Museums are research and educational institutions. Museums mainly implement two blocks of functions: a block of functions focused on actualization cultural property- creation, expansion of museum funds, collections, their fixation, study; exposure museum items and other materials; block of personality socialization functions
Education. enlightenment of different social groups, formation of standard cultural environments Social functions are carried out by specifically museum means. where the main role is played museum object, i.e. disseminate, broadcast reference samples related to the historical past and present of national and world culture.
Museumification covers various areas culture, art, history of countries and peoples, production, domestic activities, natural and artificial environment
Less space in the functioning of the museum is occupied by a set of tasks associated with personal problems - self-realization, self-education, amateur cultural activities, etc.
2.3. Libraries mass and specialized. These are independent cultural institutions where funds of printed materials are collected, stored, their special processing, distribution, and organization of use in society are carried out. Thus, libraries contribute to the actualization of the cultural potential. Libraries are scientific, information, cultural and educational institutions. They are a link in the “book-reader” system, which experts often put in the forefront in real functioning. This applies mainly to mass public libraries that do not carry out the so-called memorial function, i.e. do not store a mandatory copy of printed materials, original, unique documents, etc. For such libraries, the main thing is not the book collections as such, but their use by the reader. Hence the great importance of the block of socialization functions aimed at educating readers, developing their skills in working with printed publications, periodicals, and various informing. The personal, functional block is, as it were, relegated to the background. This is the creation of conditions for the self-development of a person, his self-education.
The ratio of functional blocks is flexible and depends not only on the type of library, but also on the specific socio-cultural situation, the quality of the social environment.
2.4. Park of Culture. It differs from other institutions in that its functions are related to the natural basis, natural environment On this basis, its orientation towards personal and socialization functions is formed. active, health-improving and entertaining, developing recreation, individual and group, associated with the processes of social integration, establishing social ties (festivities, sports and other games, holidays). Socializing functions should be woven into recreational processes. They are carried out through the involvement of a person in the park environment, landscape, park architecture.
The function of socialization of the valuable cultural fund is somewhat inferior to the first two functional areas, although the park, as a natural and cultural entity, allows cumulating and transmitting cultural experience, activates a person’s concern for natural objects, and forms his adequate behavior in the natural environment.
2.5. club establishments. Club institutions, unlike other cultural and leisure institutions, are primarily social institutions. This means that their activities should primarily solve social problems in the region, offering new models of lifestyle.
The club must be considered from two positions:
How club establishment subordinated to the Ministry of Culture, trade unions, other departments or organizations, which is an instrument of state policy and lives according to the legal norms established by the state;
As some kind of social institution, “a voluntary association of people for the purpose of communication related to various interests” (according to the definition given in the Encyclopedic Dictionary).
The range of these interests is quite extensive - from joint entertainment to the collective solution of serious socio-political problems. The club, "clubbing" - in this case, are not defined by the forms of departmental affiliation - this is a special way of communication, relationships between people, even more - a certain way of their life. It should be noted that club communities as an institution of social activity of the population have not been fully implemented at any stage of the existence of our society. Appeal to club issues shows that today there is a rethinking of the traditional functions of culture in society. Now this is not ideological education and cultural service, but the creation of conditions for normal human life. In connection with this, cultural leisure has also changed its content, which has become one of the mechanisms of social stabilization and adaptation. In the leisure space is now much more active than before, the formation of social and cultural sphere protecting the person. The compensatory function of the club team has always played an important role, since the club is an additional space for self-realization and development, relaxation and recovery. Therefore, today we can talk about strengthening the role of the club as a means capable of easing the acuteness of social tension, helping to adapt to the new economic and political conditions, and promoting psychological relaxation.
To perform these functions, new types of socio-cultural activities are needed - individual and group, based on the awareness of the social value of leisure as a space for self-actualization of the individual, no less important than professional activity, and contributing to the social integration of people.
Summarizing the above, it should be noted that leading place in the functioning of a club institution, it occupies a complex of tasks related to the problems of cultural self-realization, manifestations of social activity and individual initiative, cultural amateur performance and recreation.
Modern cultural centers bear little resemblance to the establishments of the club plan of the times of the USSR, when more than thirteen million people participated in it alone. In addition, houses and palaces of culture existed at the expense of the state, visiting any studios and circles, any kind of amateur art was free, unlike what is happening now. Most often, neither educational nor leisure tasks are faced by the institutions of the club plan of the Russian Federation.
Terminology
What is in understanding modern man means cultural center? Most often, this term is used when they want to designate an organization or certain buildings where the various values of the surrounding society are concentrated, multiplied and promoted, most often from the field of art or culture. It could be public artistic association or private initiative, but most often cultural centers are run by the state.
Use of the term
This term is used in practice when it is necessary to indicate which category an object belongs to. This refers either to a large multifunctional complex that can simultaneously cover several areas of culture or types of art, that is, institutions and objects with a narrow specialization cannot be called this term. When the traditional cultural function institutions alone - this is not the center. For example: library, museum, theater, concert hall and so on.
In the second case, they speak of an institution of a cultural nature, which has a confessional, national, social orientation. For example, the Russian Cultural Center in the state of Monaco, which was founded not so long ago, through a library, a children's school, language courses and the Russian Club, not only supports the native among the Russian-speaking people of the surrounding territories, but also acquaints the indigenous people of Monaco with the diversity of Russian realities.
Variety of forms
It turns out that the boundaries in which this term is used are quite blurred. On the one hand, it is close to traditional form institute, which is represented by the People's Club, the Palace or the House of Culture. On the other hand, these are varieties public organizations, How national associations or art centers.
It can be exhibition galleries, libraries and concert halls, if there is carried out all sorts of educational, and educational work, that is, if these organizations are of a wide profile, where culture and science cooperate.
Character traits
Nevertheless, one important feature of a cultural institution must be present without fail, regardless of its type - this is a non-commercial basis of activity. As well as promoting a culture of a multilateral and complex nature. If they say about the city, for example, that St. Petersburg is an important industrial, transport and cultural center, then this does not mean a separate institution.
You can also say about distinguishing feature a certain area, that is, the same term, only in "urban planning" use. For example, there is a place in the city where all theaters, concert halls, libraries, stadiums and even a zoo are concentrated. Maybe this happened historically, but it is likely that this is the intention of the "fathers of the city".
It must be admitted that many modern cities are built according to this principle: infrastructure - kindergartens, schools, hospitals, squares and parks in remote microdistricts are present, and cultural buildings are taken out of their borders. This area, where they are concentrated, can be called the cultural center of the city. And this will be the next value.
In 2008, under the Ministry of Culture, options for planning cultural centers were developed in order to optimally correlate their occupancy and costs. A schedule has also been drawn up for the creation of such institutions in small towns of the country. In Moscow, it was created in the amount of fifty people, among whom were journalists, architects, museum workers, writers, artists. The rich experience of the Soviet period was discussed, when cultural institutions were present even in the smallest settlements and were extremely functional.
Each had a variety of children's clubs and studios, choirs, folk theaters, interest clubs, various public events, amateur art shows were periodically held. In the construction of cultural centers, this experience had to be taken into account. In 2015, about fifty such institutions should have already opened.
Club or House of Culture
In the USSR, each House or Palace of Culture was necessarily the center of educational and cultural work. The classification of such institutions was as follows: territorial clubs and houses of culture under the auspices of the Ministry of Culture; departmental - under the control of the trade union of the enterprise, educational institution, institutions and so on; clubs for the intelligentsia: Teacher's House, Writer's House, Architect's House, Artist's House and others; House of culture of a separate state farm or collective farm; House of officers; House of Folk Art; Palace for pioneers and schoolchildren.
Club institutions of other countries
Countries former USSR And Warsaw Pact, like the Russian Federation, are now moving away from the names of the Soviet era. Houses of culture are now called magnificently: Concert Hall or cultural center. However, in many places the old names remain due to tradition. In addition to the socialist countries, similar institutions (and not in name, but in essence) have existed in many capitalist countries for a long time and are functioning successfully.
There are a lot of houses of culture in Latin America(they are called so - Centro cultural), in Spain. Extremely developed folk art And social activity in Germany, for example, in the House of Culture of the Peoples of the World in Berlin, concerts, performances, festivals, exhibitions are held, and all these public events are prepared with the support of the government, but voluntary. In France and Canada, the institutions of the club plan are called houses of culture (Maison de la Culture), and their activities are absolutely similar to the clubs of our country of the Soviet era. There are twelve such houses of culture in Montreal alone.
Arkaim
Cultural centers have always existed throughout Russia, and new ones are currently being created: parks with natural landscape themes, as well as historical and archaeological ones. There are many places in the country where such distant times are studied, about which even folklore no longer remembers anything.
Centers where culture and science interact are becoming very popular, for example, such a plan is the city of Arkaim ( Chelyabinsk region), where two apparently unremarkable hills were discovered, which archaeologists became interested in. This discovery was sensational.
At first, representatives of various esoteric groups flocked there, then the study of the area came under the wing of the state, and a reserve was formed. By the way, he is not alone there: "Country of cities" Southern Urals has twenty-four such places where the cultural center is the city.
The experimental site, from which the reserve began to be equipped, gradually revealed a number of ancient dwellings of the seventeenth century BC. First, the reconstruction touched one of them, and they did it without modern instruments, using only those that are made exactly like samples bronze age found during excavations.
This is how the cultural and historical center was born, called the Museum of Ancient Industries. Tourists can not only watch the buildings of the age of the pyramids, but also take part both in experiments and in the construction itself, in the reconstruction of dwellings. Only here you can join the culture of different eras with more than four hundred of the most interesting ones.
Tatar settlement
Cultural institutions have many types: these are libraries, museums, theaters, houses of culture and palaces. And there are complex, syncretic plans, such as the NOCC on the outskirts of Stavropol. It was based on the "Tatar Settlement", local history museum and local university. Cultural centers united to scientific work, security and museum (exposition) were combined with cultural, entertainment and educational activities on the territory of this archaeological paleolandscape park.
This is a very complex, one might say - a multi-layered monument that operated in four historical periods: Khazar, Sarmatian, Scythian and Koban. The cultural centers of Russia almost nowhere have such well-preserved fortifications, places of worship, with systems of roads, burial grounds and many more objects that can be traced different sides our lives are very distant ancestors- from the eighth century BC. These are the ruins of ancient walls, strewn with centuries-old shards of jugs and pots, the ashes of fires and hearths that went out hundreds and hundreds of years ago.
prospects
The preservation and use of the archaeological heritage, as a rule, takes place through the creation of such complexes on the basis of open-air museums that will combine scientific, educational and many entertainment activities, therefore, many cultural centers of the historical and cultural direction are now open and are preparing to open.
In small towns, any community of local historians with the support of the local administration can become the basis for their functioning. Even a house of culture can become a starting point for creating a center for the study historical heritage region. The road will be mastered by the walking one, therefore it is necessary to help enthusiasts who begin this path in every possible way. Almost all successful businesses start small, here you can remember the museum of technology located in the suburbs. Cultural institutions should enjoy the full support of the state.
Problems of development of small towns
The government is interested in creating new educational and entertainment facilities in the form of historical and cultural centers in small towns in Russia. As early as 2013, the government’s materials included wordings indicating the goals for such work.
The cultural centers of Russia are located very unevenly. Most of their concentrations in big cities. Therefore, there is a disproportion in the quantity, quality and variety cultural services received by citizens in the country. The cultural centers of Moscow or St. Petersburg cannot be compared in these parameters with the services offered to residents of remote small settlements. And to create new opportunities for creativity, self-realization, physical development, spiritual enrichment is necessary for everyone without exception.
Many dozens live on the territory of Russia different nationalities, and cultural centers can promote full cultural exchange between neighboring nationalities. The quality of life with the good work of the unifying multifunctional centers will contribute to improving the quality of life of the population, regardless of place of residence. Also, this path will help develop the infrastructure of a village or city, and even create new jobs. The outflow of population from small towns will be prevented.
