The author presents the main rules of cultural policy introduced by André Malraux, who ran the French Ministry of culture in the years 1959-1969. Malraux, who aimed to "give to the largest possible number of citizens access to the great works of culture (particularly French culture)", assigned to his department a special role in popularising culture and bridging differences between the province and the capital. Even though later the writer met with the accusation of designing a model based on an excessive interference of the state into the realm of culture, one cannot overestimate his insights into the special place of culture and art in social life.

The article presents the person and output of the French photographer Eugène Atget (1857-1927). The artist was famous for his diligence in photographing the changes occurring in Paris as the result of a reconstruction originated during the Second Empire. The enormous legacy of the artist-documentalist (c. 10 thousand photos) shows perishing places in the capital of France as well as representatives of dying out trades. The author is especially interested in Atget’s fascination with life on the peripheries of the metropolis.

The aim of the article is to analyze André Gide’s views on the situation in the Congo, where the writer went as an official envoy of the Minister of the Colonies in 1926. His stay in Africa resulted in Voyage au Congo (1927). Gide’s observations of native inhabitants prompted  him to take a critical attitude towards the policy of France in the colony. Gide perceived the manifestations of pathology and inhumane treatment of the Africans by the colonizers, but he by no means undermined the system based on exploitation and the dominance of the white man. He saw the healing of the situation in enhancing the administration and increasing the educated staff of the colonial power.
