Antonova K.N., Zubarev Y.A.

Abstract


Federal government policy in the area of cultural services targets realization and development of the spiritual and cultural potential of the nation as the basis for the sustainable and holistic development of Russia. Municipal policy regarding cultural services stems from the general principles established at the federal level. The commonality of the policies at the two levels, however, does not mean their unifications. Only local self-government in close collaboration with the general population can establish the set of tasks that are considered critical and require both governmental and non-governmental resources. Cultural and leisure services concern each and every individual. It is important to use free time with the highest efficiency in order to restore physical, psychological conditions and morale. It is also critical to ensure balanced development of children.
