Director of the Russian Drama Theatre. A.P. Chekhov in Chisinau Konstantin Haret Contract contract until 2025. The contract of the Ministry of Culture to terminate this contract was a bolt from the blue. We spoke with Konstantin Haret, who has been in the theater of the servant, God, for many years now.

– And on what basis?
– I can’t even tell you. Just on the basis of this article – termination of the contract. – The entire theater team is against decisions about my sculpture, – tells us Konstantin Haret. – He is going to fight … I myself am at a loss and shocked by the decision of such a Ministry of Culture.

OPINION
As well-known sources told us, the main reason is the theater building, located in the very center of Chisinau.
Supporters of the seizure of the Res theater in Chisinau faced such a development situation: a new director will come, he will remove half of the repertoire, therefore, there will be less money. The new director turned to the Ministry of Culture that there was nothing for heating, the Ministry of Culture replied that there was no money. They will write to the government that the theater is an unprofitable enterprise, the theater will be closed, the building will be sold …

– The reason for this position is the desire to do everything as an exception, the legislation says that all the priorities of self-governing institutions – theaters and concert schools – must be appointed by competition, – said the Minister of Culture of the Republic of Moldova. Sergiu Prodan for Noi.md.
Another reason is a serious reform, which is likely to affect all theatrical institutions now. The same was given to other theater directors who did not pass the achievement competitions. We also have a series of competitions for the position of theater director. We will sign management contracts with all theater directors. This competition involves making commitments, proposals, visions. Their implementation is already the responsibility of every leader,” he explained. Sergiu Prodan.

An unflattering mission is ahead – to destroy this center of Russian culture, by the way, the theater will turn 90 in two years. The conditions can be different – financial insolvency, non-production of popular shows and, as a result, lack of visibility, the structure of the theatrical backbone and replacing it with “our” people.
Haven’t been waiting for a long time. And then there’s this…
