SAINT PETERSBURG, February 3. 'Culture demands greater attention,' Director of the State Hermitage Museum Mikhail Piotrovsky has announced. He made this announcement yesterday at an assembly of the Coffee Club devoted to the interplay of culture and socially oriented business. Mr Piotrovsky said 'the government should have no aims but to preserve our culture, the army and medicine.' He added that 'neither the government nor business should have complete control over culture. The ties between the cultural and business world should be open and transparent as culture can not exist without society and it is our heritage from previous generations,' he emphasized.
