to Discuss digital culture and virtual reality was planned for the X St. Petersburg international legal FORUM (St. Petersburg international legal forum – ed.) which was to be held in may this year, but postponed due to the pandemic coronavirus.
As emphasized by the moderator of the discussion Director of the State Hermitage Mikhail Piotrovsky, the topic was as relevant as ever. Today culture fulfills our social mission, it becomes “medicine” from the constant stress. But the online format makes, for example, to think about the fact that there is a digital copy of the artwork – a fake, a shadow of the original or intrinsic value.
Russia is a long time coming on the Internet way of giving in every corner of the world the opportunity to join the cultural values. Created and operates the portal “Culture. Of the Russian Federation”, today it is visited by about 250 thousand people per day. Your digital assets are almost all museums, there are virtual tours. Even the portals that were previously granted access to your content for a fee, are increasingly making it symbolic or canceled entirely. And in a similar situation acutely raises the question of copyright, the Director for interaction with state authorities and international relations of the Association of art Museum Directors Anita Difanis.

For example, to hold a joint exhibition of the Hermitage and the Metropolitan Museum of art in virtuality, where they filmed a huge amount of legal problems.
by the Way, in Russia, where most of the museums – state, it is possible to avoid many difficulties. Unlike, say, the USA, where private collections survive today at the expense of philanthropists, said Anita Difanis. However, culture need not only financial support.
– We need a government guarantee – the return of works of art, insurance, financial stability, – said Mikhail Piotrovsky, summing up session. Without this culture to exist hard.
