Employees of the Kaluga Drama Theater complained to the governor about their meager wages. The director responded by reminding him of the logging operations in Magadan.
This isn't the first scandal within the walls of the Kaluga Regional Drama Theater. It has been headed by a United Russia member of the Kaluga parliament for 24 years. Alexander Krivovichev.
In February, a set designer complained to Putin about his job title being changed to "advertising specialist" due to a salary cut. The complaint was returned to the region by the local minister of culture. Pavel Suslov reassured: there will be no changes.
In April, 26 employees of the team already signed a letter addressed to the governor. Vladislava ShapshaIt states that the cast's salaries have been raised, and ticket prices for the performance have also increased, but the rest of the staff continue to receive meager wages (the exact figure is not specified).
Krivovichev reprimanded the “rebels.”
"In my 24 years as director and 54 years at the theater, the atmosphere has been the most stale. There's so much metastasis within our team now that sometimes I don't even feel comfortable coming into this building. As a lighting technician during the Soviet era, I earned 62 rubles 50 kopecks. And the actor Urusov earned 170 rubles. I've never even had the urge to write about this to the first secretary of the regional committee, without actually doing so. If I had, I'd be sawing firewood in Magadan within three days." procitiroval words of the director of the website "Kaluga News".
He advised these employees to think about “how much the theater needs them” and to “go where they wrote to with requests for a salary increase,” reminding them that the theater is a budgetary institution.
In 2020, in an interview with another publication, the director applicationlyal: "We earn more non-budgetary money than all cultural institutions combined. We simply do a good job. This isn't my achievement; it's the collective achievement of our theater." In the same interview he stated that the Lord does good through his hands.
A year ago Krivovichev decided zackto drink a car for the theater for 5,4 million rubles. After the prosecutor's inspection, the tender was оdarkened.
