Abstract

The authors, on the basis of an interdisciplinary approach, examine the qualitative changes in the social potential of the Russian artistic and creative intelligentsia in the conditions of cardinal changes in the geopolitical situation. The article analyzes the ideological-aesthetic polarization of representatives of this professional category, the process of its social and political-ideological demarcation, the transformations of the character and degree of its influence on the spiritual life of society. It shows the intensification of socio-economic differentiation, the mosaic nature of value orientations and the complication of spiritual searches, the contradictoriness of attitudes towards the heterogeneity of creative and ideological quests and the real demands of the time of the SVO. Attention is paid to the change in the configuration and structure of international cultural interaction, to the significant reduction of cultural contacts with foreign figures of culture and art, to the change in relationships with colleagues who left our country after the beginning of the SVO. The dynamics of the institutional channels of the functioning of the artistic-creative process and its renewal due to the influx of creative youth is examined, and the new configuration of the cultural field under the influence of the process of sovereignization of state cultural policy is shown.
