A QR code for benefits has been introduced in Crimean museums and theaters

Digital technologies are actively used in the cultural sphere today. This process began with the Pushkin Card, when you could come to an institution with an electronic ticket, scan the ticket and enter. Today the list of categories that can come with electronic documents is expanding.noted the Deputy Minister.

She said that the mechanism is simple: a digital ID with a QR code is stored in a mobile phone. It can be shown at the ticket office of a museum or theater, an employee scans the code and immediately issues a discount ticket. As Burova noted, in the past it often happened that visitors forgot paper documents and because of this could not take advantage of the benefits provided. Now this problem has actually been removed.

All republican cultural institutions have already been involved in the project — 15 museums, five theaters and two cinema and concert organizations. For this purpose, the necessary equipment was purchased, employees were trained and instructed. Information about the new opportunity was posted on the official websites of institutions and on social networks, and the digital ID was officially included in the list of documents confirming the right to benefits.

To receive a QR code, you must register with Gosuslugi and confirm your identity. There are several options: if you have previously received a foreign passport or driver’s license with biometrics, the program automatically generates a QR code for a digital ID. And if there is no biometrics, then the data must be additionally confirmed— said Burova.

At the same time, she clarified that the Internet is required to display the QR code, so visitors, in conditions of periodic connection slowdowns, are recommended to prepare in advance and take a screenshot.

The deputy head of the regional branch of the Defenders of the Fatherland Foundation in Crimea, veteran of the Northern Military District Dmitry Voronin, told us how much this service is in demand. According to him, participants in the special operation actively visit theaters, museums and other cultural venues, and the electronic format makes receiving benefits as convenient as possible.

You don’t need to carry paper documents with you, you don’t need to buy tickets in advance — you just show your phone number where there are government services, and that’s enoughVoronin noted.

He added that obtaining a digital ID took him about five minutes: the system automatically pulled up the data from the international passport and was already verified when purchasing a ticket at the theater.
