Russia has ousted the longtime director of the Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow, one of the world’s most famous art museums, just days after Russia’s Culture Ministry demanded that she prove the museum’s prestigious collection was “in line with spiritual and moral values.”The Tretyakov’s director since 2015, Zelfira Tregulova, has been replaced by the daughter of a senior official in the FSB, Russia’s Federal Security Service.
Unlike Tregulova, 67, who holds a degree in art history, worked at museums her entire career and helped curate exhibitions around the world, Pronicheva studied political science. She then worked in government in the Committee on Budget and Taxes of the State Duma, Russia’s lower house of parliament, and in the department of foreign economic activity of Gazprombank, which is connected to the giant state-controlled energy company.
But Russian newspaper Komsomolskaya Pravda reported that the Tretyakov Gallery’s leadership, in fact, had protested against showcasing propagandistic works submitted by artists from the occupied eastern Ukrainian territories that Russia claims to have annexed.“As the project was being prepared, the staff of the Tretyakov Gallery raised questions about patriotic installations,” Yulia Muzykantskaya, the Biennale’s president, told BFM Radio at the time.
