Glazunov quarreled Matvienko with Kapkov

The Chairman of the Federation Council Valentina Mativenko intends to complain to Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin to the head of the Moscow Department of Culture Sergei Kapkov: he refused Ilya Glazunov in the request to arrange an exhibition of realist artists in the arena.

“I will talk with Sergey Semenovich and write him a letter about the outrageous behavior of the Minister of Culture of Moscow Sergei Kapkov. Kapkov lost a sense of proportion, ”Matvienko said today, April 22, at a meeting of the organizing committee for the year of culture in Russia, Interfax reports.

The reason for the appeal of the speaker of the Federation Council to the mayor of Moscow was the complaint of the artist Ilya Glazunov at a meeting of the organizing committee on Kapkov. “We asked Kapkov to arrange an exhibition of young regional artists in the Moscow arena-he refused us,” Glazunov said.

Matvienko emphasized that Kapkov had no right to refuse young artists in the exhibition: “To refuse young artists in the exhibition is absurd. This is not his patrimony. We will demand to arrange this exhibition. ”
