Zakhar Prilepin: Vladimir Kekhman was given a task as general director of the Moscow Art Theater 
Kehman set a specific task. Zakhar Prilepin, a writer and deputy artistic director of the institution, said this on the TVC channel, his speech was published on the YouTube video hosting.
“I wonder what is behind this. Who will be proposed as the new artistic director? Who initiated these processes? What kind of people are they? Is this a patriotic lobby, a power lobby, a liberal lobby? Are they Christians or anti-Christians? ” – Prilepin asked questions.
The writer admitted that he directly asked Kekhman about his plans for the Moscow Art Theater: “He says:“ I want [Tatyana] Doronin to return to the theater. “.
” I think Vladimir Abramovich has a certain goal set by himself or someone before him, and he must fulfill it. I do not think that he connects his future with the fate of the Moscow Art Theater “, – stressed Prilepin.
People's Artist of the USSR Tatyana Doronina worked as artistic director of the Gorky Moscow Art Theater from 1987 to 2018. Later she took the specially created position of honorary president of the theater, and Eduard Boyakov became the artistic director and director. In October 2021, Russian businessman Vladimir Kekhman was appointed the new CEO, and a month later Boyakov resigned from the theater, writing a statement of his own free will.
