Vladimir Kekhman announced the termination of cooperation between the Moscow Art Theater and “KP” announced the termination of cooperation with the publishing house “Komsomolskaya Pravda”. An appeal to the editor-in-chief of the newspaper, Vladimir Sungorkin, appeared on the RTVi Telegram channel.
“The Moscow Art Theater named after M. Gorky notifies you of the termination of partnership with the publishing house“ Komsomolskaya Pravda ”, and also notifies you of an indefinite refusal of accreditation for all the events of the theater, “the document says.
It is noted that the reason was several articles that were published on the website of the publication and concerned the president of the theater, Tatyana Doronina. “The publications were published without the knowledge and approval of the Moscow Art Theater – your journalists did not ask for comments, and the editorial staff allowed the release of materials discrediting the honor and dignity of the great actress and director,” Kekhman said.
Earlier it became known that Kekhman announced “Severe reductions” among the theater staff. According to him, in the Moscow Art Theater, the balance between the creative and managerial teams is completely disturbed. The new general director clarified that the theater has a department of 27 people who “do something incomprehensible.”
The fact that Vladimir Kekhman became the new general director of the Moscow Art Theater was reported on October 27. The Ministry of Culture emphasized that the priorities of its work “will be the issues of stable development of the institution, maintenance of labor relations in the team and a creative creative atmosphere at the Gorky Moscow Art Theater as a whole.”
