The main forms of state-financial support of culture and art in Russia

The article is devoted to the analysis of the main forms of state-financial support for the sphere of culture and art in order to identify their significance in the socio-economic development of Russia. The data on the volume of financial support for culture and art are given. The main sources of state support for priority projects in the Russian Federation aimed at the cultural development of the country have been identified. The effectiveness of the implementation of the national project «Culture» is analyzed. In this study, it has been established that in recent years in the Russian Federation there has been an increasing emphasis on the development of the cultural sphere and its financing. However, despite this, the share of financial support for the cultural sphere remains very insignificant - less than 0,7% of the total amount of federal budget expenditures. The authors offer recommendations for the existing subprograms of the national project «Culture» to increase the formation of an individual’s creative potential and preserve cultural values through the creation of a federal project «Sociocultural Environment for Children».
