Russia, and before it, the USSR, support the arts with federal funding, seeing Russian culture as a very important part of the Russian brand. (They, of course, have always used these funds to control artists, pick winners and losers, and stifle artists that didn't toe the line.) — PolitiTweet.org

Fun history fact: The right is concerned about Dem provisions of the rescue bill, like $300 m for the National Endowment of the Arts. Meanwhile, many artists are now hard-up. They supported themselves with all kinds of gig work, which has all dried up. https://t.co/RIwaoyffVg — PolitiTweet.org

During the Cold War, though, the idea of state funding for the arts became a point in the propaganda war. The idea that artistic genius doesn't have to starve or beg on the streets in socialist countries* became part of Soviet advertising of its cause. — PolitiTweet.org
