Exhausted bankrupt

The General Director of the Novosibirsk State Academic Opera and Ballet Theater Vladimir Kekhman took maternity leave. This was reported by Interfax-Siberia with reference to a source in the theater circles of Novosibirsk.

Kekhman is currently undergoing bankruptcy. It was extended until July 13. In April 2015, Kommersant said that Kekhman was accused of embezzlement of 18 billion rubles , which the JFC group of companies controlled by him took on a number of banks.

The acting general director of the theater was appointed a former regional personnel manager of the Baltika Baltika Snezhana Lyubar. Since the beginning of the year, she served as deputy general director of the theater at the beginning of this year.

On March 29, 2015, the head of the Ministry of Culture Vladimir Medinsky fired the general director of the theater Boris Mazhrich after the scandal with the production of the opera Tangayer. Kekhman, appointed in his place, excluded her from the repertoire.

The opera was delivered in December 2014. The action in it is transferred today. In the version of the director of the director of Timofei Kulyabin, Jesus Christ became the hero of the erotic film, which is shot by the director Tangaizer. After the complaint of Metropolitan Tikhon, who stated that the production insults the feelings of believers, the prosecutor’s office aroused administrative affairs in relation to Kulyabin and Mazhrich under the article "Intentional public desecration of religious or litigation, religious veneration, signs or emblem of worldview symbolism and paraphernalia." At the same time, the metropolitan himself did not look at the performance, and gave the assessment of the production from the words of the audience.

On February 25, 2015, the Investigative Committee began a pre-investigation verification for the presence of an article 282 of the Criminal Code in the formulation of composition (excitement of hatred or enmity).

On March 10, 2015, the justice of the Central District of Novosibirsk, Ekaterina Sorokina, did not find an offense in administrative cases of staging the opera Tangaizer . Things were terminated.
