Mikhail Pozharsky: "Institutes are important"

"Today, the theater director Kirill Serebrennikov, the idol of the progressive public and other hipsters, have been searches ," the publicist writes on Facebook .

“And I just remind you how Kirill Serebrennikov became the head of the Gogol Theater. In 2012, the theater leadership was shifted by the directive order of the Moscow Department of Culture, and the new was appointed without any competition, discussion and other procedures. The actors were dismissed, and the repertoire was replaced.

In response, the actors staged a picket with a demand to comply with the legislation and the employment contract. And then Cyril Serebrennikov then wrote to them from Berlin: "If you start fighting with riot police or violating the law in another way, it will not become better." I was waiting for this, when it could be repeated: in general, Cyril, you are the main thing with riot police and do not break the law!

Now, of course, at some time they will write that the old composition of the theater was shit, and under Serebrennikov it became much better. I believe that it is. But these are just the very rake that we regularly break the forehead.

If you support lawlessness against bad people who serves the interests of good people, then sooner or later this lawlessness will hit you yourself. Because “good people in the right places” are not important at all - institutions are important. And until we write it down on our forehead and will not learn properly - on this forehead, rakes will fly in the form of searches and other troubles over and over again. And now the Gogol-Center itself calls for "indifferent citizens to gather." Deja vu! "
