Dmitry Bykov: Alexander Avdeev turned out to be a stranger in a society of total lies
Russian Minister of Culture Alexander Avdeev said that he does not intend to work in the new government, and this is correct. Avdeev is not a minister of culture at all, because this position is not diplomatic or protocol. Alexander Avdeev found the courage to admit (note, out loud) that he was not suitable for this role, but, firstly, after the fact, and secondly, without explaining the reasons.
