The essence of the series of essays published by the magazine is that with a maximum compactness of presentation it provides a summary of the main phenomena of world artistic culture covered in general, both from the point of view of the general historical process, and in relation to the various forms of art (literature, the visual arts, architecture, music, theater and cinema). At the same time, the usual categorization of national schools and division into separate types of art with the genre specification inherent in each of them is overcome, which meets the positive trends of globalization and provides a holistic view of artistic phenomena. The following artistic and historical periods are considered in a stepwise manner: the Ancient world, Antiquity, the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, the Baroque Period, the Enlightenment, Romanticism, Post-Romanticism, the First Modern Period, the Second Modern Period, the Third Modern Period, the Postmodern Period, and as an afterword — “The Golden Age of Russian Artistic Culture”.
