The article considers the general state of affairs in the field of state and regional cultural policy implemented in the Irkutsk region. It is impossible to consider the impact of state policy on culture, without taking into account the specifics of the region. It should be taken into account that the regions of Siberia, to which the Irkutsk Region belongs, are strategically important subjects in the general policy of the state and represent a promising resource for the revival of the spiritual and cultural potential of the country. According to the author, Siberian regions are in fact an integral "donor" of the country, which dictates its own conditions for building a cultural policy. In Siberian regions, the prospects for the development of cultural policy must be built up, observing the necessary conditions for ensuring sustainable socio-economic and cultural development of the regions.
