Notes

An excerpt characterizing the People's Artist of the Russian Federation

I remember how at one time (during Andropov’s reign), when I was already a young woman, our men were strictly forbidden to wear long hair, which was considered a “capitalist provocation” and (no matter how wild it may sound today!) the police received the right to detain people with long hair right on the street and forcibly cut their hair. This happened after one young guy (his name was Kalanta) burned himself alive in the central square of Kaunas, the second largest city in Lithuania (it was where my parents already worked then). It was his protest against the clampdown on individual freedom, which frightened the communist leadership at that time, and it took “strengthened measures” to combat “terrorism,” among which there were stupid “measures” that only increased the discontent of normal people living in the Republic of Lithuania at that time people...
My dad, as a free artist, who, having changed his profession several times during this time, he was then, came to party meetings with long hair (which, to his credit, he had simply gorgeous!), which infuriated his party bosses, and for the third time he was thrown out of the party, into which, after some time, again, not of his own free will, he “fell” back... I myself was a witness to this, and when I asked my dad why he constantly “runs into trouble” troubles,” he calmly replied:
“This is my life, and it belongs to me.” And only I am responsible for how I want to live it. And no one on this earth has the right to forcefully impose on me beliefs that I do not believe and do not want to believe, since I consider them lies.
This is how I remember my father. And it is precisely this conviction of his complete right to own life, helped me survive the most difficult times for me thousands of times life circumstances Oh. He madly, somehow even manically, loved life! And, nevertheless, he would never agree to do something mean, even if his very life depended on it.
This is how, on the one hand, fighting for his “freedom”, and on the other hand, writing beautiful poems and dreaming of “exploits” (until his death, my dad was an incorrigible romantic at heart!), the days of young Vasily Seregin passed in Lithuania. . who still had no idea who he really was, and, apart from the "biting" actions from the local "authorities", was an almost completely happy young man. He didn’t have a “lady of his heart” yet, which could probably be explained by days that were completely busy with work or the absence of that “one and true” that dad had not yet been able to find...
But finally, fate apparently decided that he had had enough of being a bachelor and turned the wheel of his life towards “feminine charm,” which turned out to be the “real and only” that dad had been so persistently waiting for.

Her name was Anna (or in Lithuanian - She), and she turned out to be the sister of dad’s best friend at that time, Jonas (in Russian - Ivan) Zhukauskas, to whom dad was invited to Easter breakfast on that “fateful” day. Dad visited his friend several times, but, by a strange quirk of fate, he had not yet crossed paths with his sister. And he certainly never expected that on this spring Easter morning such a stunning surprise would await him there...
The door was opened for him by a brown-eyed, black-haired girl who, in that one short moment, managed to conquer my father’s romantic heart for the rest of his life...

Star
Snow and cold where I was born
The blue of lakes, in the land where you grew up...
I fell in love with a star as a boy,
Light as early dew.
Maybe in days of grief and bad weather,
Telling her girlish dreams,
Like your girlfriend the same year
Did you fall in love with the star too?..
Was it raining, was there a blizzard in the field,
Late evenings with you,
Knowing nothing about each other
We admired our star.
She was the best in heaven
Brighter than all, brighter and clearer...
Whatever I do, wherever I am,
I never forgot about her.
Its radiant light is everywhere
Warmed my blood with hope.
Young, untouched and pure
I brought you all my love...
The star sang songs to me about you,
Day and night she called me into the distance...
And on a spring evening, in April,
Brought to your window.
I quietly took you by the shoulders,
And he said, not hiding his smile:
“So it was not in vain that I waited for this meeting,
My beloved star...

Mom was completely captivated by dad’s poems... And he wrote them to her a lot and brought them to her work every day along with huge posters drawn by his own hand (dad was a great drawer), which he unfolded right on her desktop, and on which , among all kinds of painted flowers, it was written in large letters: “Annushka, my little star, I love you!” Naturally, what woman could withstand this for a long time and not give up?.. They never parted again... Using every free minute to spend it together, as if someone could take it away from them. Together they went to the cinema, to dances (which they both loved very much), walked in the charming Alytus city park, until one fine day they decided that enough dates were enough and that it was time to look at life a little more seriously. Soon they got married. But only my father’s friend (my mother’s younger brother) Jonas knew about this, since this union did not cause much delight on either my mother’s or my father’s side of the family... My mother’s parents predicted for her a rich neighbor-teacher, whom they really liked, as her groom and, in their opinion, he “suited” his mother perfectly, and in his father’s family at that time there was no time for marriage, since grandfather was sent to prison at that time as an “accomplice of the nobles” (by which they probably tried to “break” the stubbornly resisting dad), and my grandmother ended up in the hospital from a nervous shock and was very sick. Dad was left with his little brother in his arms and now had to run the entire household alone, which was very difficult, since the Seryogins at that time lived in a large two-story house (in which I later lived), with a huge old garden around. And, naturally, such a farm required good care...
So three long months passed, and my dad and mom, already married, were still going on dates, until my mom accidentally went to my dad’s house one day and found a very touching picture there... Dad stood in the kitchen in front of the stove, looking unhappy “replenishing” the hopelessly growing number of pots of semolina porridge, which at that moment he was cooking for his little brother. But for some reason the “evil” porridge became more and more, and poor dad could not understand what was happening... Mom, trying with all her might to hide a smile so as not to offend the unlucky “cook,” immediately rolled up her sleeves began to put this whole “stagnant household mess” in order, starting with the completely occupied, “porridge-filled” pots, the indignantly sizzling stove... Of course, after such an “emergency”, my mother could no longer calmly observe such a “heart-tugging” male helplessness, and decided to immediately move to this territory, which was still completely alien and unfamiliar to her... And although it was not very easy for her at that time either - she worked at the post office (to support herself), and in the evenings she went to preparatory classes for medical school exams.

On TV we often hear “Honored Artist of Russia”, “People’s Artist of Russia”. What do these titles mean? What privileges and benefits are granted to holders of these titles? How is the work of honored and popular people assessed? Let's figure it out.

Title “Honored Artist”: nuances of the award

The title of Honored is awarded for special achievements in such forms of art as circus, theater, cinema, ballet, music, etc. The recipient of the award can be either a performer (for example, an actor or a singer) or hold some responsible position (for example, a director or playwright). To receive the reward you must:

  • make a personal contribution to the development of Russian culture and art;
  • participate in the creation of works that were highly appreciated by both the public and critics and experts.
  • take an active part in significant cultural events - concerts, performances;
  • promote the spread of Russian culture outside the country;
  • participate in projects that worthily represent Russia at international festivals;
  • to be recognized and loved by the people as a cultural figure.

Honored titles are given to representatives creative professions, which have state-level awards in the industry field. Previously, awards were given only after twenty years of successful creative activity. The only exceptions were ballet dancers. They received titles after ten years of work on stage. Now these deadlines are not being met.

Why is the title "People's" given?

The title “People’s” is an order of magnitude higher than the title “Honored”. It is also awarded for special merits in the field of national culture and art. Awarded only after the stage master has worked for at least ten years after receiving the well-deserved title.

Both titles are state titles and are awarded on the basis of a corresponding decree of the President of the country.

The procedure for awarding this state award is regulated by Presidential Decree No. 1099 of September 7, 2010.

How to receive a reward?

A star needs to have connections to receive an award. Any organization applies for the award of the title: a trade union, a theater, a film studio. Then the applicants are reviewed by a commission specially designed for these purposes under the Russian Ministry of Culture. Today the committee consists of thirty-four people. The commission includes many famous figures cultures such as Nikita Mikhalkov or Zurab Tsereteli.

Each candidate for a high rank is considered separately. Materials that can give an idea of ​​the artist’s talent are studied:

  • excerpts from films;
  • videos;
  • recordings of concerts or performances;
  • text materials.

The Council meets once a year. About one hundred candidates can be considered at one meeting. The decision is made by voting, the vast majority are refusals. The commission recommends approximately ten people for approval. The final decision rests with employees of the Ministry of Culture.

The selection criteria are not always clear. The council rarely reports why a particular artist was rejected. Sometimes the reasons become known and they are sometimes absurd. For example, one famous actor was denied a title only because he had an unpaid traffic fine.

Who didn't get the title?

Many prominent and indeed talented people have not been awarded the title for decades. For example, Mikhail Zhvanetsky, famous throughout the country, was awarded the national title only at the age of eighty. Some famous and revered stars by Russians never receive state-level awards. Vladimir Vysotsky did not wait for the national title, and received the “deserved” one only after his death.

Nowadays, many popular actors, singers and other celebrities do not have any honorary awards. These include Ivan Okhlobystin (star of the series “Interns”) or Alexander Baluev (“Peacemaker,” “Hero,” “Turkish Gambit”). Some celebrities themselves turn down awards. For example, they wanted to award Leonid Yarmolnik the title of people's title, bypassing the title he deserved. Famous actor refused theater and cinema.

How does the award ceremony take place?

Titles are awarded in the very heart of Moscow - the Kremlin, in the Dome Hall. The ceremony is scheduled before the professional holiday of cultural workers (March twenty-fifth). Before the award, the artists receive a call from the presidential administration and are informed of the need to come to set time. You must appear in formal attire: a black suit and tie. The artists get to the award site on their own.

What benefits are granted to “People's Artists”?

During times Soviet Union At first, the artist received the title of Honored, and after at least ten years he was awarded the title of People's. Holders of these titles had special privileges: they were paid a double pension, and were transported to and from the performance in the then elite black Volga. They were given additional meters of living space, served in elite medical institutions, and placed in luxury hotel rooms. Now none of this exists anymore.

Today, having the titles “Honored” and “People’s” is simply an honor. The title changes practically nothing in the artist’s life; celebrities do not receive any special benefits.

How are stars' salaries calculated?

Russian legislation does not indicate how much representatives of creative professions who have the title “People’s” or “Honored” should receive. Celebrities receive such earnings as specified in their contract with the theater, film studio or television channel. There are no uniform tariffs for all. The income of stage masters depends on many nuances - on the place of work, the number of performances held, etc.. The existing title may also be taken into account in the accruals, but this remains at the discretion of the employer. For example, titled artists living in the capital are entitled to incentive bonuses to their basic salary. According to the order of the Moscow Department of Culture No. 963 dated November 26, 2014, additional payments are:

  • 15% of the salary for the title “Honored Artist”;
  • 20% of the salary for the title “People’s Artist”.

Famous artists' pensions

All pensioners in Russia have almost the same pension. According to the newspaper " Komsomolskaya Pravda“, even artists who had enormous popularity, albums sold millions of copies, and films beloved by the people, receive ridiculous amounts of money.

For example, when Diva Russian stage She retired in 2004 and was given only two thousand rubles. Now, thanks to indexation, this figure has increased to 10,000 rubles. Joseph Kobzon receives even less - about four thousand rubles. Such a low pension is due to the fact that he is a deputy and he is paid wages. When he leaves his post, Kobzon's pension will increase.

Valery Leontyev receives a “high” pension compared to others - about eight thousand rubles. This is due to the fact that the celebrity is listed as a ballet dancer. They always get more.

Many famous artists live off the money they made at the peak of their popularity. Some successful representatives of creative professions do not even spend their penny pension, but transfer money to charity. For example, Lev Leshchenko and Vladimir Vinokurov provide material support orphanage. The rest of the artists are forced to work even after reaching retirement age.

Table. Pension amounts famous artists(according to the cultural figures themselves and their loved ones).

Star namePension amount
Joseph Kobzon4 thousand 300 rubles
Edita Piekha7 thousand rubles
Vladimir Vinokur8.5 thousand rubles
Ilya Reznik10 thousand rubles
Yuri Antonov11 thousand rubles
Lev Leshchenko12 thousand rubles
Stanislav Sadalsky15 thousand rubles
Valentin Gaft15 thousand rubles
Sofia Rotaru4.5 thousand rubles
Tatiana Dogileva9 thousand rubles

Many celebrities live in poverty. According to producer Isaakov, some artists’ pride does not allow them to report their poor financial situation. Artists simply cannot survive on a meager pension, so many continue to work. Stanislav Sadalsky works as a presenter. It is unrealistic to lead a decent life in Moscow on a pension of 11 thousand. Churikova, Basilashvili, and Kostolevsky continue to play in theater and cinema. Edita Piekha still takes part in various concerts.

Some artists, due to life circumstances or medical reasons, are unable to work. Such celebrities include Alexander Pankratov-Cherny.

Famous artists receive meager pensions. Some worked for 30-40 years, the whole country knew and loved them. Many people believe that the people who have made such significant contributions to Russian culture, should receive a much higher pension or have personal benefits. For example, Alla Pugacheva at one time brought huge income. She filled the halls, her albums sold millions of copies. On the other hand, for financial situation Alla Borisovna need not worry. Her fortune is about 100 million rubles.

There is also an opinion that artists have a small but fair pension. Now all pensioners receive approximately the same amount. And popularity should not affect the income of a pensioner. After all, the glory and love of the people is a gift in itself.

Notes

An excerpt characterizing the People's Artist of the Russian Federation

On this day, Countess Elena Vasilyevna had a reception, there was a French envoy, there was a prince, who had recently become a frequent visitor to the countess’s house, and many brilliant ladies and men. Pierre was downstairs, walked through the halls, and amazed all the guests with his concentrated, absent-minded and gloomy appearance.
Since the time of the ball, Pierre had felt the approaching attacks of hypochondria and with desperate effort tried to fight against them. Since the prince's rapprochement with his wife, Pierre was unexpectedly granted a chamberlain, and from that time on he began to feel heaviness and shame in big society, and more often the same gloomy thoughts about the futility of everything human began to come to him. At the same time, the feeling he noticed between Natasha, whom he protected, and Prince Andrei, his opposition between his position and the position of his friend, further intensified this gloomy mood. He equally tried to avoid thoughts about his wife and about Natasha and Prince Andrei. Again everything seemed insignificant to him in comparison with eternity, again the question presented itself: “why?” And he forced himself day and night to work on Masonic works, hoping to ward off the approach of the evil spirit. Pierre, at 12 o'clock, having left the countess's chambers, was sitting upstairs in a smoky, low room, in a worn dressing gown in front of the table, copying out authentic Scottish acts, when someone entered his room. It was Prince Andrei.
“Oh, it’s you,” said Pierre with an absent-minded and dissatisfied look. “And I’m working,” he said, pointing to a notebook with that look of salvation from the hardships of life with which unhappy people look at their work.
Prince Andrei, with a radiant, enthusiastic face and renewed life, stopped in front of Pierre and, not noticing his sad face, smiled at him with the egoism of happiness.
“Well, my soul,” he said, “yesterday I wanted to tell you and today I came to you for this.” I've never experienced anything like it. I'm in love, my friend.
Pierre suddenly sighed heavily and collapsed with his heavy body on the sofa, next to Prince Andrei.
- To Natasha Rostova, right? - he said.
- Yes, yes, who? I would never believe it, but this feeling is stronger than me. Yesterday I suffered, I suffered, but I wouldn’t give up this torment for anything in the world. I haven't lived before. Now only I live, but I cannot live without her. But can she love me?... I'm too old for her... What aren't you saying?...
- I? I? “What did I tell you,” Pierre suddenly said, getting up and starting to walk around the room. - I always thought this... This girl is such a treasure, such... This is a rare girl... Dear friend, I ask you, don’t get smart, don’t doubt, get married, get married and get married... And I’m sure that there will be no happier person than you.
- But she!
- She loves you.
“Don’t talk nonsense...” said Prince Andrei, smiling and looking into Pierre’s eyes.
“He loves me, I know,” Pierre shouted angrily.
“No, listen,” said Prince Andrei, stopping him by the hand. – Do you know what situation I’m in? I need to tell everything to someone.
“Well, well, say, I’m very glad,” said Pierre, and indeed his face changed, the wrinkles smoothed out, and he joyfully listened to Prince Andrei. Prince Andrei seemed and was a completely different, new person. Where was his melancholy, his contempt for life, his disappointment? Pierre was the only person, to whom he dared to speak; but he expressed to him everything that was in his soul. Either he easily and boldly made plans for a long future, talked about how he could not sacrifice his happiness for the whim of his father, how he would force his father to agree to this marriage and love her or do without his consent, then he was surprised how something strange, alien, independent of him, influenced by the feeling that possessed him.
“I wouldn’t believe anyone who told me that I could love like that,” said Prince Andrei. “This is not at all the feeling that I had before.” The whole world is divided for me into two halves: one - she and there is all the happiness of hope, light; the other half is everything where she is not there, there is all despondency and darkness...
“Darkness and gloom,” Pierre repeated, “yes, yes, I understand that.”
– I can’t help but love the world, it’s not my fault. And I'm very happy. Do you understand me? I know you're happy for me.
“Yes, yes,” Pierre confirmed, looking at his friend with tender and sad eyes. The brighter the fate of Prince Andrei seemed to him, the darker his own seemed.

To get married, the consent of the father was needed, and for this, the next day, Prince Andrei went to his father.
The father, with outward calm but inner anger, accepted his son's message. He could not understand that anyone would want to change life, to introduce something new into it, when life was already ending for him. “If only they would let me live the way I want, and then we would do what we wanted,” the old man said to himself. With his son, however, he used the diplomacy that he used on important occasions. Taking a calm tone, he discussed the whole matter.
Firstly, the marriage was not brilliant in terms of kinship, wealth and nobility. Secondly, Prince Andrei was not in his first youth and was in poor health (the old man was especially careful about this), and she was very young. Thirdly, there was a son whom it was a pity to give to the girl. Fourthly, finally,” said the father, looking mockingly at his son, “I ask you, postpone the matter for a year, go abroad, get treatment, find, as you want, a German for Prince Nikolai, and then, if it’s love, passion, stubbornness, whatever you want, so great, then get married.
“And this is my last word, you know, my last...” the prince finished in a tone that showed that nothing would force him to change his decision.
Prince Andrei clearly saw that the old man hoped that the feeling of him or his future bride would not withstand the test of the year, or that he himself, the old prince, would die by this time, and decided to fulfill his father’s will: to propose and postpone the wedding for a year.
Three weeks after his last evening with the Rostovs, Prince Andrei returned to St. Petersburg.

The next day after her explanation with her mother, Natasha waited the whole day for Bolkonsky, but he did not come. The next, third day the same thing happened. Pierre also did not come, and Natasha, not knowing that Prince Andrei had gone to his father, could not explain his absence.
Three weeks passed like this. Natasha did not want to go anywhere and, like a shadow, idle and sad, she walked from room to room, cried secretly from everyone in the evening and did not appear to her mother in the evenings. She was constantly blushing and irritated. It seemed to her that everyone knew about her disappointment, laughed and felt sorry for her. With all the strength of her inner grief, this vain grief intensified her misfortune.
One day she came to the countess, wanted to tell her something, and suddenly began to cry. Her tears were the tears of an offended child who himself does not know why he is being punished.
The Countess began to calm Natasha down. Natasha, who had been listening at first to her mother’s words, suddenly interrupted her:
- Stop it, mom, I don’t think, and I don’t want to think! So, I traveled and stopped, and stopped...

As in any other activity, the merits of cultural workers have always been recognized with state awards. What did they get them for? For his contribution to the development of culture and personal investment in the development of art. What is higher - Honored Artist or People's Artist? Let's figure it out.

Who can apply for state-level awards?

People often ask the question: "What is higher - People's Artist of Russia or Honored Artist of Russia?" But in order to answer it, you first need to understand who can claim this title. First of all, of course, these are the people who can be seen on cinema screens. These are actors. They are more likely than others to receive government incentives. But no film can be made without those who remain behind the scenes. Directors, screenwriters, playwrights are those people who make a significant contribution to the development of cinema. And they also often receive state awards. The work of artists who do not act in films, but often appear on television, is also noted. These are singers and TV show hosts. The state also supports various other areas of culture. For example, circus, theater and philharmonic societies. People who for many years working to create spectacular programs, be it a circus performance or opera concerts, can rightfully be awarded state privileges.

What can you get an arts award for?

Before you understand what is higher - an honored artist or a national one, you need to decide why you reward people in general.

  • First of all, of course, for the creation of cult programs and films. To stage such creative projects it takes more than one year. But they become part of the life of the people. Cult films are broadcast annually on television, and theatrical performances are staged in theaters throughout the country.
  • State awards reward people who, thanks to their talent and personal charisma, have enriched a particular role. And these will not always be those who act as the main characters. Sometimes state awards are given to supporting actors who did an excellent job and were able to outshine everyone else with their acting skills.
  • An honorary title can be received for a breakthrough in any field of art. How to make this breakthrough? Come up with a program for training actors, write an unexpected twist in the script that has never been used before. In general, to make an innovation that will enrich the culture of the country.
  • Teaching is a noble profession. And sometimes creative personalities who have trained more than one generation of magnificent actors, musicians, conductors, etc., become winners of state awards.

Honored Artist

Thanks to their talent and charisma, some people become public favorites. To understand what is higher - Honored Artist or People's Artist, you need to analyze these titles separately, and then compare them. During his life, a cultural figure receives many awards. First, he is awarded city, then regional, and only then state insignia. A person who applies for the title of Honored Artist must have worked in culture for at least 20 years. Moreover, during this time he must go through all stages of development, from the very bottom, to the top of his career, and, accordingly, to glory. After all, not everyone becomes an honored artist, but only those people who not only work in culture, but also enrich it through their talent and hard work. Sometimes they have to live by work, and therefore at work. This hard work is appreciated by the government. The award is most often timed to coincide with March 25 - Cultural Worker's Day.
