The V Baltic International seminar-discussion devoted to the theme "The structures of everyday life and creative experiment in Russian literature, philosophy, culture" was held from 4 to 6 July, 2015. Moscow Regional State University became a co-organizer of the event, which was held under the auspices of Maxim Gorky Literature Institute. Under the term “the structures of everyday life" the forms of ordinary life and phenomena of culture are meant that characterize human psychology within the “great lengths" and certain types of thinking. “The creative experiment" implies a “cultural explosion", a kind of “revolution" The central issue of the seminar-discussion was the ratio of continuity and discontinuity in culture. The discussion concentrated on the problem of possible coexisting of the age-old traditions and attempts to significantly change the traditional cultural paradigm in the era of modern (and postmodern), especially when there is no antagonism and unoriginal following in such coexistence. The participants of discussion were scientists from Maxim Gorky Literature Institute, Moscow Regional State University, Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University, State Academy of Slavic Culture, The Gorky Institute of World Literature, S. Durylin's Memorial House Museum, representatives of Moscow Writers' Union, Russia Writers' Union, as well as the writers from Finland.
