“This is due to the new policy of the theater, with a careless attitude to the history of the theater, to the artists who have given many years to the theater,” he told the Zvezda TV channel.

In turn, actor Nikita Efremov, in an interview with the radio station "Moscow Says", confirmed the departure of a colleague from the troupe. He noted that everyone has the right to their own opinion on the situation and he respects the choice of Garmash.

Earlier, the publication "Moskovsky Komsomolets" published an open letter from the artist, in which he explained his decision by the conflict around the project "Contemporary Dialogues. War and Peace". According to him, a "monstrous situation" has developed in the theater.
