Culture is a conscious effort aimed at cognization and deliberation of human destiny. It is an unfinished Tower of Babel, fruit of many nations’ and their chosen sons’ endeavors. In our time, its flow is weakened and watered-down by supremacy of Picture and Sound, cheap entertainment and other temptations of the consumer society… Huge mass of printed titles devours and devalues itself, dechristianization makes its contribution of losing of general direction. Only the elitistic understanding of culture sets a sound basis for self-realization. It is a fight for meaning, therefore a fight for the life itself, for its preservation.
