The case of theft by the management of the "Seventh Studio" was opened in 2017. According to investigators, director Kirill Serebrennikov, producers Alexey Malobrodsky and Yuri Itin stole 133 of the 214 million rubles allocated by the Seventh Studio in 2011-2014 to develop and popularize contemporary Russian art in the framework of the Platform project.
