The artistic director of the Mikhailovsky Theater, as well as the director of the Moscow Art Theater, Vladimir Kekhman, who failed the Cultural Forum, banned the performance of Philip Kirkorov at a private event at the Moscow Art Theater. Gorky. As Ksenia Sobchak writes, a large company planned to hold a corporate event at the theater, and they paid a lot of money for the organization, including 5 million rubles for “mandatory,” according to Kekhman, catering. At the same time, Kekhman soon disappointed the customers – he said that Kirkorov would not be there, since he received a “call from the AP.”

Not to mention the duplicity, since Kekhman told his friends that he personally forbade Kirkorov to perform as an “act of self-censorship,” artistic director Mikhailovsky and the director of the Moscow Art Theater were again caught in deception – albeit quite “petty” in comparison with his past sins.

As the Cheka-OGPU reported earlier, Kekhman, thanks to his leadership positions in the most famous Russian cultural institutions, actively helps his main contractor, Marat Karginov, win tenders. The amounts often exceed billions of rubles. For example, only one of Karginov’s companies, RSK-Renaissance LLC, has won tenders worth more than 4.5 billion rubles over the past few years. Moreover, in all cases, RSK-Renaissance LLC was the only participant in the tender.
