In Russia, that would be Olga Golodets, who was responsible for the operation of the recent Tchaikovsky Competition:
Looks as if you'd better straighten up when you deal with her. ;-)
On a serious note however, I just watched the Gala performance of the various winners of the competition, attended by Putin (who spoke a bit before the concert) and other big wigs. I started thinking that I cannot even IMAGINE a US President attending a Gala concert by the winnners of, say, the Van Cliburn Competition in this country. God forbid that a government official here should be seen promoting anything that reeks of high culture.
+1 for you, Chris. I could not agree more. The dumbing down continues apace.
... we could have ministers of cultures galore. We're more interested in frozen yogurt cultures, I guess.

I think that culture is a must in all civilised society.
And much more funds should be allocated to cultural events and promotion.
You do not need a huge bureaucracy to run a culture department, just the right people.
As an example I am French speaking and live in South Africa and I can watch TV5 a French channel that promotes French culture.
I can also go to "The Alliance Francaise" should I wish to learn French.
