The Ministry of Culture of Russia will no longer be listed as the organizer of the country's main theater award; the withdrawal from the list of organizers is stated in a letter signed by the deputy head of the department Pavel Stepanov, sent to the chairman of the Union of Theater Workers (STD) Alexander Kalyagin (available to RBC, copies of the letter were also sent to the president prize and festival “Golden Mask” to Igor Kostolevsky and general director of the ANO “Festival “Golden Mask” Maria Revyakina).
“Due to the fact that the department does not consider it advisable to continue to act as the organizer of the award<...>, we inform you about the resignation of the relevant powers,” the document says.
The press service of the Ministry of Culture explained to RBC that the inappropriateness of the department’s continued presence among the organizers of the “Golden Mask” (according to the regulations on the award, the co-organizers are the Ministry of Culture and STD) is explained by the need for maximum independence of the country’s main theater award. At the same time, the department emphasized that until now its functions have been purely nominal.
“In connection with the formal role of the Russian Ministry of Culture as one of the organizers of the award, the department decided to withdraw from its organizers. We do not consider it advisable to continue to act in this capacity, since we actually do not influence the adoption of any decisions. The presence or absence of the Ministry of Culture as organizers does not affect the functioning of the award, including issues of its financing,” explained the department’s press service.
Igor Kostolevsky and Maria Revyakina confirmed to RBC that they had received a letter from the Ministry of Culture.
“We actually received this letter. We turned to Pavel Stepanov, he explained that the state organization does not want to interfere with the public organization regarding expert advice. We were told that help, funding - all this remains,” Kostolevsky said.
“A letter arrived. After receiving the letter, we spoke with Deputy Minister Pavel Vladimirovich Stepanov, who said that, in accordance with the regulations, the predominant role belongs to the founder. And he believes that government agency There is no point in interfering in the formation of expert councils; this should be done by a public professional organization. We work as we worked,” Revyakina noted.
Alexander Kalyagin did not answer RBC's calls.
The withdrawal of the Ministry of Culture from the organizers of the “Golden Mask” occurred shortly after the head of the department of state support of art and folk art Ministry of Culture Andrey Malyshev. “I’m not ready to work with people who are engaged in thimbleing,” he told RBC.
Malyshev also explained that the Ministry of Culture has repeatedly initiated reforms in the theatrical environment, but none of them have been supported by the STD. This, according to him, is primarily about the need to rotate the “age management of theaters,” as well as the rejection of the practice of combining the functions of artistic director and director, which is now widely practiced in Russian theaters.
