https://doi.org/10.35854/1998-1627-2022-6-549-562
Abstract
Aim. The presented study aims to comprehensively assess the risks and possible consequences of sanctions imposed by foreign countries for Russian artists and cultural organizations.
Tasks. The authors develop an anti-sanction mechanism for all spheres of activity and identify the major areas of the cultural industry that require anti-sanction regulation to reduce risks and costs for the producers of socially significant goods.
Methods. This study uses statistical and factual analysis of sanctions that affect the cultural sector both directly and indirectly to comprehensively investigate the economic and legal aspects of the negative impact of sanctions.
Results. Opportunities for reducing the import dependence of some sectors (media, technological infrastructure of organizations) are considered; the social phenomenon of cancel culture is assessed in terms of its impact on the further development of art organizations; the essence of the decriminalization of intellectual property offenses is revealed. The study analyzes a set of actions that seem appropriate in the context of sanctions, including the identification of importdependent sectors in the cultural industry, risk insurance, and the application of international law to protect the interests of artists.
Conclusions. The obtained results can be used in the further strategy for the import substitution of products and services in the field of culture. Recommendations for the medium term are given.
