The director of the theater Ruslan Kolokhov was fired at the Chekhov Art Theater in Moscow and in his place was appointed Leisan Mishrina, who previously held the position of deputy director. She has been working at the Moscow Art Theater for almost five years. Before that, Misharina was the head of a charity fund associated with Konstantin Khabansky. Previously, Ruslan Kolokhov became one of the defendants in a criminal case regarding the recovery of over 600 million rubles for the rental of warehouses by the Bolshoi Theater. The court approved the lawsuit, including against the former director of the Moscow Art Theater.
