rewrite this title In Komi, most cultural institutions require radical modernization – Maria Balmastova in Russian The majority of cultural institutions in Komi, especially rural ones, require radical modernization. Maria Balmastova, the acting Minister of Culture and Archival Affairs of the region, reported this on November 10 at a working meeting on the topic of “The State Program of the Komi Republic for the Development of Culture.” Currently, several projects are in the construction or completion stages, such as the 92% technical readiness of the social and cultural center in the village of Pazha as of November 1, the 50% completion of the renovation of the House of Culture in the village of Vylgort, and the 98% completion of the renovation of the Children's School of Arts in Ukhta. The construction of the social and cultural center in the village of Denisovka is also ongoing, with over 70% technical readiness. However, the Accounting Chamber of the Republic of Komi noted the low level of expenditure execution for some activities of the state program. For example, less than 9% of the annual budget has been spent on the construction of the multifunctional center in Pazha, with the center's completion at 84% as of the beginning of October. Work should have been completed by November 1, but there is a 21-day delay, attributed to poor project assessment documentation and additional work not included in the plans. The renovation of the Komi Opera and Ballet Theater is also a priority, with a budget of 55 million rubles for the development of project and estimate documentation for 2023-2024, as well as additional funds for the cultural program. Despite the challenges, a high level of expenditure execution for the improvement of material and technical resources of state cultural institutions has been achieved, with approximately 93% of the plan being fulfilled.
