Culture — the brdge that could not be blown up

Abstract

Not so long ago one of the main and traditional problems of Russia has been that culture was not considered to be a subject of political life. Before the bill "About Culture” each region in the country used to live in different cultural context and to understand aspects of culture in different manners. At the edges of 20th–21st cc. the understanding of the problems of Russia-Caucasian social and cultural communication actualized. North Caucasian region is a complicated system of very many cultures. It was a contact zone and at the same time a kind of a barrier among civilizations and empires in The Mediteranian region, South-Western Asia and Eastern Europe. The today culture of North Caucasian region has been formed as a result of the dialogue among Caucasian mountain, Islam and Russian civilizations and cultures, and also the processes of modernization during 20th-21-st centuries. The problem of preserving of cultural traditions is a central one in "ases of state culturally politics" (2014). Cultural bridges among the peoples and countries should be kept even in times of war conflicts and military actions.
