Cultural and Information Space of Transnistria in the Spectrum of Cultural Policy

The cultural and information space of the Pridnestrovian Moldovan Republic, the role of mass media and the state in its formation are considered. The emphasis is made on the cultural aspect of the information space on the basis of the cultural code and the national idea reflecting mental projections in the Transnistrian society.

It analyses the infrastructure, the implemented state programmes concerning the information and cultural development of the republic, the importance of state participation and its responsibility for the results of preserving ethnic cultures in Transnistria. It is noted that the activities of the leading state structures that form the cultural and information space of the republic, state traditional mass media, normative and legal framework need monitoring and subsequent adjustment in order to develop a targeted development programme taking into account the maximum proximity to consumers.

It is outline that the state policy based on official multilingualism in the field of cultural construction has a certain imbalance in the information field, which is reflected in the inequality of access to information. As a result, this affects the processes of preservation and development of culture in the multinational Transnistrian society. It is stated that the cultural space is evolving towards Russian-culturalism. It is concluded that the determination of state priorities in the development of the cultural environment, including through the informatization of society, and the preparation of the population for life in the conditions of the new information field that is emerging will help Transnistria to strengthen and preserve its identity and to withstand the impact of globalization.
