Sociocultural and artistic life at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries

Abstract

The future of modern society is determined not so much by the adaptability and ability of capitals to perceive innovations and civilizational changes, but by the standard of living of regions (provincial centers), their spiritual potential, and the ability to produce new cultural meanings. The study of metropolitan and provincial lifestyles is scientifically based for many reasons. This makes it possible to form a comprehensive picture of the culture of a certain period, to trace the synchronicity of the phenomena of social life, it makes it possible to compare historical processes not only on the scale of the entire country, but also in individual regions, in general, to reveal the peculiarities of the development of national culture (capital and provincial) past and present.
