Inclusion in Contemporary Russian Cinema: Government Support and Social Transformation

The article examines the development of the inclusive agenda in the Russian Cinema of 2024–2025 due to the federal focused policy. Based on monitoring the implementation of target indicators in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, conducted using the method of qualitative content analysis, the authors analyze three key areas: actual film production, the activities of cultural and educational institutions, and the organization of thematic festivals and screenings. The authors conclude that contemporary Russian cinema, supported by the state, is moving from the representation of inclusion to its institutionalization and, ultimately, to becoming a sustainable mechanism of social transformation, where every citizen can realize their creative potential and society learns to hear everyone.
