Russian culture, according to researchers, was formed from the "spirit of newspaper disputes" (Dianina K.). Modern media do not deviate from this tradition and widely use the genre of interviews, thus transmitting information about the understanding of art by its creators. Stable compositional and linguistic forms of organization of this genre provide ample opportunities for the manifestation of subjectivity in the response of the interviewee, the presentation of personal ego-information related to the topic under discussion.
