The arrest of the director is clearly an excessive measure before the trial, especially after the words of the president about the excessive arrests of entrepreneurs (hereinafter, the spelling and punctuation of the authors are preserved - ed.)

Liya Akhedzhakova, actress (for RIA Novosti)

Terrible news. This thread is greetings from Meyerhold. I do not understand what will happen next? Probably, we will crawl on our knees to the tsar-father. After the search, they took away his foreign passport, they are as cunning as the world has never seen, they have colossal experience: remember Meyerhold or Mandelstam, even Yesenin died in torture.

Evgeny Stychkin, actor (for Kommersant)

This defies any explanation. Everyone knows that there were performances. Why, to whom did Kirill cross the road, why was he chosen as such a demonstrative action? A man of art is subjected to almost unprecedented persecution in our modern history. Why can't the government protect him? We have the presumption of innocence, so let them first prove that something exists, let all opinions be heard, and then something will happen. You can’t take a person, tear him out of his life and force him to go through all this. This is very scary. If there is a task to impress us, then they certainly achieved this goal, this task is solved.

Yuri Grymov, director (for Kommersant)

Theater is a very complex mechanism. This is a big responsibility - salaries, production, storage, a lot of complex things. And, to be honest, I have never felt on myself, and, I think, few people have really felt the facts of some kind of political or creative pressure. If there are financial violations, then the investigation will deal with it. Why was Malobrodsky suddenly fired then? We knew that there were some violations. Therefore, there is a difficult situation here, which should be clarified by an absolutely honest investigation, moreover, a public one. It is presented, of course, very large sum For the theatre, this is a lot of money. Therefore, I think that time will tell, and the investigation, I hope, with such publicity, will be as open and honest as possible.

Nikolai Svanidze, TV journalist, historian, chairman of the Commission on civil rights Human Rights Council (for Interfax)

It is not clear why they treat him so brutally. Is he a rapist? Serial killer dangerous to society? Why should he be detained? He is an absolutely law-abiding citizen, not prone to either escape or violence. Why is it necessary to limit the personal freedom of a citizen?

Pavel Lungin, director (for "Echo of Moscow")

It seems to me that we see once again that our law enforcement agencies do not back up, they cannot show flexibility. Of course, there is no need for an arrest. Cyril does not leave anywhere, he works. He is here, he goes to all interrogations, writes explanations. It seems to me that this is excessive cruelty, some kind of vindictive cruelty.

Nicholas Kartozia, CEO channel "Friday" (Facebook)

You may consider me a naive fool, but I do not believe that my friend Kirill Serebrennikov is a swindler. I forbid myself even to think so. And you, if you are my friends and friends of Kirill, please do not make assumptions. After all, everything that we have been told so far has not been proven, semi-proven. Where are the facts? Kirill is an amazing person and a huge talented soul. Whatever happens in the denouement... Uncle Kirill, I am your friend and I won't deny it. There will probably be a big cleaning of the friend tape today. Well, for the better. People like to "assume" it's part of the human in us. But there are assumptions that blacken the soul and turn you into a toxic f ****. This will not be in my feed.

Pavel Bardin, director (Facebook)

The detention of Serebrennikov is yet another victory for the culture of violence over culture.

Nikita Kukushkin, actor of the Gogol Center

Friends! Stupid and unhappy people really work there. Mostly people are not talented, or people who have lost their talent. They are weak. There is no truth behind them. Those need to be helped. So it makes sense for them to worry. They are like bees with a sting in the ass. And we - enough to grieve! Flip the game.

Mikhail Idov, screenwriter, journalist (for the Dozhd channel)

I know exactly the same thing as you. I found out about what was happening about 20 minutes ago. All I can say is that two days ago my wife Lilya and I, as co-authors of the script for the film "Summer", were on the set of this film with Kirill Semenovich in St. Petersburg. Kirill was in a great mood, the work was going on, the work will continue, I'm sure. That's actually all. And so we are in great shock, of course.

First, the former general director and chief accountant of the Seventh Studio company, Yuri Itin and Nina Maslyaeva, were detained. "Platform" actively cooperated with this company, and, as the investigation suggests, through it passed cash who were subsequently stolen.

Maslyaeva later stated that this project was created for the "implementation of criminal intent" - theft of budget funds allocated for its development. In May, Serebrennikov was involved in the case only as a witness.

The case against Kiril Serebrennikov was initiated under Part 4 of Article 159, which provides for punishment in the form of imprisonment for up to 10 years. An Interfax source reports that the director may be imprisoned in a pre-trial detention center or sent under house arrest. Kirill Serebrennikov's foreign passport was taken away on 7 August.

The lawyer said that at the time of his arrest he was on a business trip in Vladimir, from where he left by the first train.

At about 2 p.m., the lawyer arrived at the Investigative Committee, and in his presence the interrogation of Serebrennikov began, which lasted almost four hours. All the time that Serebrennikov was at the Investigative Committee in Moscow, there were a large number of journalists outside the department building who were waiting further development events. The press also gathered near the Gogol Center after Serebrennikov's arrest, and the theater itself was closed.

At the end of the interrogation, the director's lawyer said that Serebrennikov's preventive measure would be chosen on Wednesday, August 23, at the Basmanny Court.

"The brilliant Kirill Serebrennikov has been arrested. I can't believe it - Lily Idova and I were just on the set the day before yesterday. He was in a great mood and all at work," he wrote.

According to him, "in the end, all that the state will achieve is to deprive Russia of another talented person."

Public people are not left out

Russian public figures did not remain aloof from the ongoing events. The ex-Minister of Finance of the Russian Federation, head of the board of the Center for Strategic Research Foundation, deputy chairman of the Economic Council under the President Alexei Kudrin believes that the investigation should not arrest Serebrennikov.

"The director's arrest is clearly an excessive measure before the trial, especially after the president's words about the excessive arrests of entrepreneurs," Kudrin wrote on his Twitter microblog.

The famous animator Yuri Norstein expressed his support for Serebrennikov. According to him, he does not believe that such a talented person could be the organizer of the theft of funds.

The first deputy chairman of the committee, director Vladimir Bortko (KPRF), indicated that the committee would follow Serebrennikov's case.

"As for taking control, helping, then of course (it is necessary - ed.). But here it must be divided into two parts. If he is charged with some ideological violations or, God forbid, political crimes, then here I will stand to the death, not to touch the wonderful director Serebrennikov. As for financial violations, if I were an accountant, I would comment on them. But since I am not an accountant and not an investigator, I cannot comment, "Bortko told RIA Novosti.

Russian writer, publicist and political figure Eduard Limonov, in turn, believes that if the Investigative Committee of Russia decided to detain director Kirill Serebrennikov, then the UK has evidence of his guilt. According to Limonov, if a person stole, he must be punished, no matter what position he holds.

Kalyagin applied to the Investigative Committee with personal guarantee in connection with the detention of the artistic director of the Gogol Center, K.S. Serebrennikov," the statement on the union's website says.

On Wednesday morning it became known that the investigation asked to send the director under house arrest.

The meeting is scheduled for noon. Employees and actors of the Gogol Center gathered near the building of the Basmanny District Court of Moscow.

Moscow 24 on Twitter writes that the director has already been taken to court.

Ekho Moskvy journalist Alena Vershinina writes that actress Victoria Isakova will act as a guarantor in court. TV presenter Leonid Parfenov and directors Vladimir Mirzoev and Boris Khlebnikov also came to support Serebrennikov.

Now there are more than two hundred people near the building of the Basmanny Court. All the sidewalks around are clogged with people, the correspondent of Mediazona reports. Photographers and cameramen crowd at the entrance. The wagons have arrived.

Near the hall, where the issue of the measure of restraint will be considered, there is also a support group of the director and journalists. Kirill Serebrennikov was brought into the hall.

You people run quickly! They have already left me on the roadway! Speed ​​up the process! - the policeman at the court building speaks into the handset. - It's a serious situation.

Due to the large congestion of people with phones near the courthouse, the Internet does not work well.

The journalist Alexander Budberg, the husband of Dmitry Medvedev's press secretary Natalya Timakova, came to court. The wife of businessman Oleg Deripaska, Polina, also came to support Serebrennikov.

The meeting begins after protocol shooting. Some of the journalists managed to get into the hall, the rest of the correspondents are watching the broadcast in the corridor.

The judge explains Serebrennikov his rights.

Serebrennikov's lawyer Dmitry Kharitonov says the defense has a large number of instructions, including from Natalia Solzhenitsyna, head of the Solzhenitsyn Foundation, singer Philip Kirkorov, TV presenter Andrei Malakhov, directors Fyodor Bondarchuk, Avdotya Smirnova, Alexander Popogrebsky and others.

The defender lists the names of the guarantors for a long time: actors Igor Vernik and Valery Garkalin, Evgeny Mironov, Konstantin Khabensky, Konstantin Raikin, Maxim Vitorgan, actresses Chulpan Khamatova, Victoria Isakova and Elizaveta Boyarskaya, director of the Bolshoi Theater Vladimir Urin, TV presenter Ivan Urgant, journalists Ksenia Sobchak, Nikolai Kartozia and Nikolai Svanidze, public figure Nyuta Federmesser and director of the Tretyakov Gallery Zelfira Tregulova.

He hands the judge a large bundle of bails.

After the judge has attached medical documents, the floor is taken by the investigator. According to the case file, acting as part of an organized group, Serebrennikov committed fraud. “Given that Serebrennikov is being charged with a serious crime, he could abscond from court,” he says.

The microphone in the hall beeps.

Serebrennikov may influence witnesses in a criminal case if he remains at large, the investigator adds. The director can also destroy evidence and avoid liability. He asks the court to place Serebrennikov under house arrest until October 19 with a ban on using the Internet and telephone.

Arguing in favor of house arrest, the IC officer mentions that the director has real estate abroad and a residence permit in Latvia.

The prosecutor supports the motion.

Serebrennikov objects to house arrest. “I would like to be released because I am not guilty. All the accusations seem to me incredibly absurd and impossible,” he says.

The director calmly explains that he always went to interrogations and cooperated with the investigation, answered all questions. All public money was spent on the project, he concludes.

Serebrennikov says that the Platform project was important for art.

“So I'm asking you to let me go, really. I won't run away anywhere, I can't hide anywhere,” he says. In early August, the director said that after the searches, the investigators took away his passport, although at that time he was a witness in the case.

Serebrennikov continues: House arrest an unreasonably harsh measure that will prevent me from working.”

Lawyer Kharitonov speaks: “House arrest is an unfounded petition. There is no reason to believe that he will abscond from the court. All that the investigation has is a document on the sale of an apartment and data that he was going to go abroad to stage a performance.

Meanwhile, the crowd on the street is chanting: “Kirill! Kirill! Kirill!"

“My client was not going to run anywhere. All his thoughts were directed to work,” continues the defender.

He recalls that the investigators interrupted the filming process several times. The lawyer insists that the investigation did not provide any evidence that Serebrennikov could escape somewhere.

On the street again they shout loudly: “Kirill! Bravo!" and loud applause. Hearing the street noise from the broadcast, the people in the corridor also screamed and clapped.

The lawyer says that yesterday Serebrennikov did not refuse to testify: after the arrest, the director was driven from St. Petersburg to Moscow for nine hours, by the evening he "did not have the strength to understand the charge." He assures that Serebrennikov will answer all the investigators' questions later.

Kharitonov says that the judge should give the director the opportunity to continue working.

The crowd at the entrance to the court began to chant "Freedom!" and "Kirill, come out!"

Defender Kharitonov continues his speech. He asks the court to release Serebrennikov on bail of 68 million rubles - this is the amount of damage that, according to the investigation, he caused.

“Now we don’t have that kind of money, of course, but in as soon as possible I think we will," he says.

Now the investigator has taken the floor, the correspondent of Mediazona reports, but he cannot be heard because of the incessant screams from the street.

Dear citizens! Let me turn to you! Your behavior is interfering with the work of the court! - says the policeman into a bullhorn.

Your work interferes with creativity! - they answer him from the crowd, applause is heard.

Please clear the roadway and do not interfere with the work of the court.

The applause fell silent due to the fact that someone asked to be quieter, otherwise the words of the lawyer could not be heard.

Now the judge lists the papers attached to the case - the statement of the investigators, the petitions of the lawyer, more than 30 guarantees. The term of the preliminary investigation was extended until October 19. She says who and when was interrogated.

Serebrennikov repeats again that he is an honest man and did not steal anything. The director believes that he was slandered.

Lawyer Kharitonov says that Irina Prokhorova is ready to give as a pledge any amount that the court will appoint.

Director Andrei Smirnov (Belorussky Station, Once Upon a Time There Was a Woman, played in the film Elena) enters the hall. He says that he has known Kirill for 20 years and knows him only from the good side.

The lawyer asks to tell why Smirnov acted as a guarantor. He replies that he knew Serebrennikov when he was still a "young talent." Now he has become a famous talented director. The case against him is exaggerated, Smirnov believes.

“I have no reason to doubt Kirill's civil honesty,” he adds.

There are no questions for him.

Now the director and screenwriter Alexei Mizgirev is performing. He speaks of Serebrennikov's innocence.

Lawyer Kharitonov again talks about bail and asks to hear the editor-in-chief of the New Literary Review and literary critic Irina Prokhorova.

Prokhorova enters the hall. She says that she has known the director for the past 15 years.

The lawyer asks the guarantor to tell about the relationship with Serebrennikov.

From my point of view, he is an outstanding director, and I would say that he brought our country to the forefront of the theatrical movement, says Prokhorova. According to her, his whole life is creativity.
