Dolls ask for the president

Artists of the Puppet Theater Obraztsov hope that Vladimir Putin will protect them from the new deputy director

On June 12, under the famous watch, the artists of the Obraztsov Theater with dolls in their hands recorded a video message to Vladimir Putin. The reason why the president himself should defend the famous puppet theater, which headed for personnel update, from the newly appointed deputy director of the theater Yu.B. Sherling (born in 1944), must be believed to be the status of an “adviser to the Minister of Culture”, which will overshadow it. With this status, apparently, only the first person of the state can understand.

Why does the Ministry of Culture consistently attach a person who is not happy in any subordinate institution, a gloomy mystery. In response to the first initiatives of Sherling - the dismantling of unique watches and the trade in alcohol in the Puppet Theater - a pack of applications for departure of their own will from artists, workshops and administration have already received.

We publish a letter from the "Samples".

Appeal of the Puppete Puppet Theater workers
Dear friends, June 12 at 14.30, on the day of Russia, the Dolls of the Obraztsov Theater, together with the team, go outside. Under the symbol of our theater, under the famous watch, we are going to record a theatrical appeal to the president’s hot line.

The reason for this was the appointment of the First Deputy Director of the theater of the Advisor to the Minister of Culture on a voluntary basis Yuri Borisovich Sherling.

On April 30, the team presented a new young and promising leader Vladimir Vsevolodovich Bakulev. During the time, while he met with the team and went on the course of business, we have developed normal working relations. Vladimir Vsevolodovich is open to the dialogue, accepts any theater employee, listens and delves into problems, makes it possible to realize the opportunity. Proposals by V.V. Bakulev arouses interest and desire to fulfill them, which we began to do. But on May 23, Yu.B. Sherling, born in 1944, a man in the theater world is unharmed.

In a few days of his work in the theater, an unhealthy situation developed, due to Abuez, threats of dismissal, intimidation and accusation of the incompetence of the collective. The director of the director was numerous statements about the departure from professionals.

Yuri Borisovich is disrespectful to the brand of the Obraztsov Theater: the famous world “hand with a ball”, the famous watch on the facade of the theater - one of the symbols of the city of Moscow. During his stay in the GACTK, he did not look at a single performance of the theater that he was trying to lead. At the threat of a breakdown is our international theater festival of countries of BRICS members, a large -scale exhibition of the Unima International Organization (UNESCO), the publication of the magazine Theater of Miracles, the release of planned new performances, a breakdown of touring, television shootings, etc.

As a result of such a “activity” of Mr. Sherling, an extremely alarming and unhealthy situation is formed in the theater team, which does not contribute to further creativity. There was a real danger of an irrevocable loss of the national heritage that is the Obraztsova Theater-the best directors, artists, composers work in the theater, the names of which Russia are proud of, the theater’s performances receive numerous prizes (including national ones), as well as the Grand Prix at numerous international festivals in dozens of countries of the world.

The team of our theater screams SOS. A few years ago, GITIS was defended by the whole theater community, where Yu.B. Sherling was appointed acting rector. Now help needs the theater Obraztsov.

"New" will monitor the development of the situation.
