Among today's news, besides the session of the Council for Culture and the Arts, there is a very pleasant message from the Tretyakov Gallery for Culture Worker's Day: to keep the creator alive within oneself, and to remember that culture workers turn routine into a work of art. After all, in this profession, besides humanistic learning, a creative approach is simply indispensable.

A new collection of souvenirs, created jointly with the job-search service hh, has already appeared on the Tretyakov Gallery's website: branded T-shirts, bags, stickers and tote bags bearing clear and inspiring slogans.

It is not only the charming presentation within the walls of the Tretyakov that gives pleasure, but the very idea of such merchandise. Especially against the background of the recent episode of the flagrantly unjust treatment of museum staff by visitors, I consider this seemingly simple and obvious initiative both timely and important. It is a way to support, with attention and with a token of respect, the people who daily sustain the work of our cultural institutions, who help to preserve, promote and acquaint the public with our historical, spiritual and creative heritage. And to say to everyone working in one of the most important spheres a plain human thank you for their devotion and professionalism.

Once again, happy holiday, colleagues!
