Скоро легкая музыка света.
Через ризы твои потечет!
Распрями свои крылья, Россия!
Высоко нам и долго лететь.
Я - Господь твой, распятый Мессия!
Будем вместе молиться и петь!» (автор Людьмила Кудрявина)

Russian Culture Russian Culture and Art of the Russian Empire
Russian Culture of the Russian Empire in the late 17-th early 18-th century Russian culture, exceptional importance for further ways of its historical evolution of the transition from medieval religious forms of spiritual life to secular culture and science. A decisive leap in the cultural life of the country was not unexpected and certainly was not the result of activity, will and desire, even a truly extraordinary historical figures like Peter I.
Russian Culture of the Russian Empire Conversion conducted by Peter I needed to strengthen the state and its survival in the acute internecine struggle. To succeed in solving major international problems posed by history before the Russian state, it was necessary to raise the current level of polity and military affairs, to strengthen the fledgling country of manufacture, to give impetus to the development of science and culture, freeing them from the shackles of religious tutelage.
Russian Culture of the Russian Empire The historical significance of the reforms of Peter I consisted in the fact that he was in the interests of the nobility States to accelerate implementation of the historically overdue rotation with the iron perseverance and consistency, with the merciless cruelty, which, incidentally, has always manifested itself when it historical progress could be exploiting classes through the strengthening of the absolute power of the monarch or his all-powerful minister.
Russian Culture of the Russian Empire reforms of Peter I, which resulted in the finally formed Russian feudal-absolutist state, strengthened serfdom, the dominance of the nobility and also raised the importance of merchants and increased capital with the help of benefits, the promotion of trade and industry. At the same time in the second half of the 17-th early 18-th century as a result of foreign policy successes of Russia increased its international importance. It began to take one of the important place in international life, expanding and strengthening not only economic but also cultural connection between Russia and many foreign countries.
Russian Culture of the Russian Empire Quick and decisive transition in the Russian artistic culture of the secular art, rely on the experience of European Post renaissance realism, has been prepared over the preceding stage of the history of Russian culture. Wonderful Old Russian art, which made such great contributions to world culture, to the 17-th century has exhausted its possibilities. Aesthetic problems posed by a new stage of Russia's historical development, the interests of further development of spiritual culture of the Russian nation could not be successfully resolved in stultifying in conflict with the course of conventional life, the church of old art forms.
Russian Culture of the Russian Empire. Moving vector of update of Russian culture expanding knowledge of the world, the introduction of the exact sciences, best practices research, promotion and organization of the forces of secularism, to overcome the medieval conservatism - such were the tasks assigned to the Russian culture of the objective course of development of Russian society at that time. Preceding the 17 th century in the history of Russian art - slow and indecisive growth of the period of new type of realism, while a gradual grinding and the collapse of the old methods and forms of medieval art. In the 17 th century was awakening interest to nature, the motives of the real landscape and a realistic perspective. During these years, emerged a portrait and genre, the so-called parsuna. However, the "secularization" of culture and art took place in the framework outlined dominant form of religious culture. Naturally, the achieved results were halved a compromise.
Russian Culture of the Russian Empire, The strong historic jump. It implemented in the early 18-th century. With this jump in Russian culture after a break joined in the general course of European cultural and artistic progress. Russian art took place, proper art of a great nation, and again after flowering period of the previous 11 - 16 century made important and original contribution to the artistic culture of mankind. Describing the culture and art in Russia 18-th century, one should bear in mind the multinational character of the Russian state that emerged as early as ages 16-17 and further elaborated in the 18 century. Ukraine, Belarus, attached in the first quarter of 18 centuries the Baltic art developed in close cooperation with the Russian culture, and yet continued development of national art schools.
Russian Art and Culture of the Russian Empire, Russian Art of the 18-th century experienced several stages of development. The first was connected with the reforms of Peter I. During these years occurred the formation and strengthening of a strong centralized state, entering into the international arena. Patriotic service to the national interests was the first duty of the Russian people. The Russian Empire was an absolute monarchy, protecting the interests of landlords and merchants in part, but its activity was still progressive in nature, carrying out work of historical progress in the only possible form in that time.
Russian Art and Culture of the Russian Empire, Russian art of the first quarter of 18 centuries reflected the creative enthusiasm that was peculiar to that time. New ideas about the value of human personality, the conquest of Russian arms, a grand building of these years, unusually extended mental outlook of Russian people.
Russian Art and Culture of the Russian Empire after a short period of so-called aristocratic reaction in the mid-18 century finally came a new upsurge of Russian art . Since the second half of the 18-th century artistic culture of Russia was one of the leading positions in European art. Especially significant it's contribution to the development of architecture. The scope of urban development and perfection of the art solutions transformed Russian architecture in one of the significant events of world culture. The flowering of Russian architecture in the period of his ties with the Baroque (until the end of 1760-ies), and especially during the addition of classicism had it historical reasons. The fact that in 18th-century Russian nobility absolutism opposed to go to the sunset of the old regimes of Western Europe, sure it was far from exhausting its historic vitality.
Russian Art and Culture of the Russian Empire Shocks peasant war led by Pugachev, demonstrating that the issue of preservation or abolition of serfdom became a major social problem era, discovered a conflict between the feudal autocracy and freedom-nucleated direction in the development of Russian social thought (Fonvizin, Novikov, Radishchev) , although it showed the limitations of social and cultural positions of absolutism, yet were still not strong enough to crush the noble building of the monarchy. In Russia there was no social force capable of sweeping away the feudal system and the corresponding state and replace it with more advanced social relations, there was no well-organized, economically strong, politically mature bourgeois class.
Russian Art and Culture of the Russian Empire Russian enlightenment, which originated in 1760-ies, in most cases represented the only opposition movement that didn't not encroach on the hegemony of the gentry class. His best representatives rebelled against sovereign despotism of Catherine II, against the abuse of his authority landlords over the peasants, but mostly they did not question the very foundations of the aristocratic monarchy, that was no raise before the ideas of the revolutionary transformation of society. They believed that the path to the destruction of all the vices of feudal system was education; Education of the Russian nobility in the humanistic principles of justice, the expansion of his intellectual outlook. Very few people in this circle in solving urgent social problems of today rose above his class. Such a man was the greatest representative of the Russian enlightenment 18 centuries. It was A.N. Radishchev who came to the idea of revolutionary overthrow of the existing social order. Therefore, the Russian aristocratic state though revealed especially in the last third of the 18-th century, its exploitative and protective function, albeit inconsistently and contradictorily retained the ability to solve a number of national problems facing the country such as state management, the fight in the international arena for the state interests of Russia, a certain development of the productive forces, the rise of culture, etc.
Russian Art and Culture of the Russian Empire Naturall. It created particularly favorable conditions for the development of architecture with the strong support from the government or large civilian groups. However, the formation of interlayer of progressive and democratical minds. Their impact on advanced art determined the possibility of saturation of the architectural images of building structures over a broad humanistic ideological content than the official program of the perpetuation of the noble state. With a special power that trait affected in the works of this genius architect who was Bazhenov.
Russian Art and Culture of the Russian Empire in the field of sculpture and painting achievements of Russian culture 18 centuries was also significant, though in the fine arts ugly side of the autocratic regime and its apologists have a greater restrictive effect on the ideological and artistic quality of the works than it was in the area architecture. However, proper civic humanist and progressive trends in art were more clearly. In particular, in Russian painting and sculpture, this time with a special artistic convincingly confirmed the ideas of high moral dignity. In art of Rokotov, Levitsky, a sculpture Shubin realistic portrait of European 18-th century found one of his most remarkable incarnations. Also the great success reached monumental decorative sculpture, it was inextricably linked with the great architectural ensembles of the era. "The Bronze Horseman" Falcon, creativity Kozlowski, along with the work of Houdon form a peak in the heyday of European sculpture of this time.
Russian Art and Culture of the Russian empire in the whole 18-th century Russian art - an important milestone not only in the history of Russian culture, but also it played a big role in promoting progressive aesthetic ideals of European culture 18-th century as a whole.
