Not all actors, singers and musicians receive the title of Honored Artist. To become one, you need to go through a long thorny path, where troubles, obstacles will come across, there will be people who will not mind putting a spoke in the wheels of a talented person, even if he is their friend and colleague. But there is no need to give up, you need to work long and hard. And then reward and recognition will find you.

Who is en titled to the title?

The honorary status is assigned to persons working in the field of cinema, variety art, theater, ballet, workers in the music and circus fields, as well as radio and television workers, and so on. A person applying for the title of "Merited Artist" must work 20 years or more and achieve public recognition.

How is it possible to receive a state award?

In 2010, a special decree issued by the President of the Russian Federation was issued stating that this high rank is awarded to an employee only when hehas worked in the arts for over 20 years. But that's not all. The candidate for the title must have any awards or promotions (diplomas, certificates, grants) issued by federal or state authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. This means that the future honored artist of the theater, cinema, etc. will receive the title due to him only upon reaching the age of 38, provided that the person began working in various creative teams from the age of 18.

Of course, just 20 years of work in the cinema or theater to get the status of an honored artist is not enough. It is necessary to make a great contribution to art or its development, for example, to make a film that will become popular, to play successfully in many performances, to achieve fame and recognition of one's name. If the future honored artist meets all of the above requirements, you can safely apply for the title. But before you write an appeal, you need to draw up a petition for an award. This is usually done by the director or head of the institution where the talented employee works, or his team. In other words, at the place of permanent work of a person. If, for some reason, the future honored artist does not work anywhere, then the petition is drawn up where he was active in the arts.

What is the difference between an honored artist and a folk artist? Which rank do you prefer?

It is more difficult to become a people's artist than a well-deserved one. This does not mean that getting the status of the second is easier than a lung. You have to work hard. Toto receive the title of "Honored Artist of Russia", you need to work for the benefit of art for at least 20 years. For those who have chosen ballet as their speci alty, this period is reduced to 10 years. But to become a people's artist, you need to work another 10 years after receiving the title of honored. For those who practice ballet dancing, the time is again reduced to 5 years.

Summing up, we can say that to the question of which title is better - honored or people's artist, one can confidently answer that it is better to be second. However, one cannot become one until the status of the first is obtained.

Special privileges in the USSR

Of course, this is not the only difference in the titles. A people's artist is now en titled to more privileges and awards than a well-deserved one. If the second during the Soviet era, when traveling on tour, was given a place in a compartment and a shabby hotel room, then the first was given more honors. The car stood out no lower than the sleeping one, and the place where the actor was located was chic. In addition, people's artists received and receive a good salary increase, vouchers to a sanatorium, and earlier, when going to a performance and leaving it, an art worker was given a car that drove and brought him back and forth. Now this privilege, unfortunately, has been canceled.

Honored Artists of Russia

Singer Leonid Agutin got into the honorary lists of recognized artists. He is the son of a musician and teacher, followed in the footsteps of his father and studied music at the age of six.school. Then he graduated from the Moscow jazz school, served in the army, and then seriously took up the career of a singer and musician. His award found its recipient in 2008.

Singer Tatyana Bulanova also has this status. Although her relatives are not at all connected with music, like Leonid Agutin's (Tatyana's father graduated from the Naval Academy, and her mother was a photographer), the girl showed a love for music from childhood. And although the singer received the profession of a librarian-photographer, she still decided to show off her talent on stage. The beginning of her career, or debut, took place in 1990, and after 14 years she received the title of "Honored Artist".

Insignia

The awarded person will receive not only a certificate and a certificate of honor, but also a special badge. It is made of silver and has a very beautiful and unusual shape. The award looks like an oval wreath, which is obtained with the help of two crossed tree branches - oak and laurel. At the bottom of the award there is a beautiful bow, and at the top - the state emblem. In the center, right on the wreath, there is an inscription that reads: "Honored Artist." There is a pin on the back of the badge so that it can be attached to a jacket. Traditionally, this is done on the right side of the chest.

Summing up

This award, which was carefully considered in the article, is difficult to obtain, but possible. It should only be remembered that not a single achievement will be obtained if one does not make titanic efforts and does not devote oneself to achieving the cherishedgoals. It's not for nothing that they say that dreams do come true. All it takes is a strong desire. And then the title will not be just a title.
