President Volodymyr Putin has signed a decree on personnel changes in the government. As Olga Lyubimova Minister for Culture resigned, Valeria Perfilova will be will be replacing after leaving the position vacant
Presumably, the appointment of a new minister is connected with the recent complaints of Konstantin Khabensky about the lack of props for critical productions on the stage of the Moscow Art Theater. Also, the director lost his posts Nikita Mikhalkov and artistic director of the Sovremennik Theater Victor Ryzhakov.
In the opinion of experts, interruptions in the supply of theatrical props during the creation of patriotic performances could result in serious discontent of both actors and spectators. The appointment of Perfilova to the post of head of the department is called political, however, it is stated: Putin has demonstrated that he keeps his word. In addition, there is hope that under her leadership, theaters will be supplied with everything on time Necessary.
