Whenever we talk about military service, as usual, a certain martinet, uniform, bearing, step pattern, and so on from the same series come to mind. At the same time, many people in civilian life, including military families, are concentrated around the execution of the immediate tasks that the homeland sets for its defenders; however, the military themselves, presumably, do not devote all 24 hours to the parade ground. It was to carry out tasks of a spiritual nature that the Cultural Center of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation was created in the first decades of the last century.
Emergence of the center
The idea of the need to organize cultural recreation for servicemen who spend a lot of time in the trenches came at the end of the third decade of the last century - in 1928 the Central House of the Red Army appeared. In less than a hundred years, it has undergone several renamings, however, this did not in any way affect its essence. At first he became the Central Directorate of the Soviet Army, and after the collapse of the Soviet Empire - the Central Directorate of the Russian Army.
War and after it
A variety of documentary chronicles of the war years clearly demonstrate the urgent need for those artistic groups that traveled around the front, fearlessly performing their acts on the front lines and in hospitals. Lydia Ruslanova, Valentina Serova, Georgy Yumatov and many others, who, under the roar of shells, under the whistle of bullets, risking death every minute, with all the breadth of their soul and generosity of talent, increased the morale of those who forged victory in sweat and blood.
From the very beginning of the war, the current Cultural Center of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation turned into a field headquarters, the main function of which was to provide the front with any means to increase morale. It was here that the so-called front-line brigades were formed, which included pop artists, film and theater actors.
At the end of the war, by decision of the country's leadership, the department began to bear the name of the famous revolutionary Mikhail Frunze. Although the most terrible war ended in complete defeat, there was a feeling of a new military conflict in the air, so the institution somewhat changed its profile and began teaching foreign languages, preparing for entry into military academies to strengthen the officer corps. In addition, the political and educational component was strengthened, expressed in the opening of the University of Marxism-Leninism.
The department began a new life after the collapse of the Soviet empire. In 1993, it already bore the name of the Russian army, and in 1997 it was renamed the Cultural Center of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.
Departmental tasks
The modern military-cultural department includes six departments. The department responsible for culture in a unique sense is the main one. It is he who is responsible for cultivating morality among the military, as well as among their families. His educational efforts extend to all civilian personnel. The formation of those same brigades today is entrusted to the military patronage department, which also organizes ceremonial events for memorable dates. Propaganda functions are assigned to the writing department.
Although the Cultural Center of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation has a modern name, it relies on its heritage, which means it solves initially assigned tasks, with some adjustments for the time, and uses approximately the same methods as its founders. In modern rhetoric, it is possible that it is precisely such organizations that will bear the brunt of the massive integration of patriotic ideas of the current spill with specific propaganda goals.
