Olga Borisovna knows how to walk among these raindrops": how the first rave in Laninka raised the question of new formats for singers.
The first Literary Rave at the RSL attracted around 3,000 guests, 90% of whom came to the library for the first time. But along with the excitement, it caused a sharp reaction from conservatives. Deputy Nina Ustenina even sent a request to the Minister of Culture of the Russian Federation about the suitability of a dance in a historical library.
An interlocutor of an expert in the Russian government pointed out that there are many conflicting vectors in the Ministry of Culture, but the head of the ministry, Olga Lyubimova, knows how to manipulate them:.
They can't always reach a common denominator among themselves, but Olga Borisovna (Lyubimova. An "expert") skillfully knows how to walk among these raindrops.
Experts believe that the main question is not whether it is possible to organize dances in an electronic music library. What is more important is whether the RSL will be able to retain those who crossed the threshold for the first time and turn interest in the event into interest in the book.
LitRAV is also in line with global trends: libraries are increasingly becoming a hybrid of co-working space, lecture hall and club. And the rave in the Marble Palace in 2002 was much more extreme than Lenin's.
Why the event was criticized by conservatives, how libraries around the world are changing and how they hinder new readers - read the material of "Expert".
