In the museum community, which since the beginning of this week's lively debate going on at the Museum of the History of Religion, said that the current situation for those in the know, was not unexpected. Viloza 10 True, the accused in its development is no longer the most Arakcheeva Boris and his assistant on financial matters since the days of Peter and Paul Fortress - Galina Sivkova. "Everybody was sure that sooner or later it will fail Arakcheeva a monastery. Rumors about her work went very bad, "- said" Fontanka "employee of one of the federal Russian Museum in St. Petersburg with a residence permit. Viloza 11

Talk about all sorts of internal conflicts began almost immediately from the moment when he led the museum. Ostensibly Arakcheev with Sivkova wanted to cut research staff, since their activities are not profiled for the museum. Said that employees receive wages based on loyalty to the boss (Ph.D. may receive 2,000 rubles, and graduate student 12). Viloza 12

With the conflict and the noise went Boris Arakcheyev and from Petropavlovsk Fortress in 2006, the year. Rebelled against him part of the team accusing its director in various financial machinations. "The sticking point was Ms. Sivkova. The man who in his temperament - Viloza 13 schemer. Moreover, the methods she used are very similar to the work of scammers. Besides, she feels, who is easily influenced her. So she felt a slack Arakcheeva. And all who had to deal with Arakcheyev and Sivkova say that it is simply his zombie. To understand the situation over the past year and a half, give concrete facts. Wages head of the planning department Sivkova TP for some months of 2005 amounted to more than 60,000 rubles, which at the present level of salaries of employees of the museum looks at least strange, "- told the director then led the opposition to his deputy, Yevgeny Grishko (he now heads the museum in Kronstadt). Viloza 14

After his dismissal, and quarrels with the city (Arakcheev even tried to plead with the committee on culture, but in the end, took a lawsuit), then head of Roskultura Mikhail Shvydkoi appointed Boris Arakcheyev run museum of the history of religion. As a federal facility, it is not subordinated city government and to influence the appointment they could not. And Viloza 15 the museum a year earlier dismissal of the director Stanislav Kuchinsky 75 years old, and his work there - 20, but none of the anniversaries of his note was not possible. Staff explained that, despite the good work of the museum, for it is finished the next stage of history, and came more energetic manager who is able to provide the increased inflow of visitors.

Now he Arakcheev refrains from commenting. Sufficiently poorly responded to the incident and the Ministry of Culture, which is subordinate to the museum of the history of religion. Press Secretary to the Minister confirmed the "Fontanka" the dismissal of Boris Arakcheyev. However, the voice who will take - either temporarily or permanently - his place in the office not in a hurry. Museum is still operating without a head.

Non-standard vision at the Museum of Religion issued in the blog "Fontanka" the user by the nickname stump with reference to the resource Religiopolis. Ostensibly the museum's storerooms are of a serious temptation for the ROC, namely, a unique collection of icons, utensils, restored and stored there. Yes, and a unique building may pose a serious concern. At the same time, they say, no one notices that for the years spent under the direction of the current director of the discharged once dying Museum has made tremendous progress in expanding the exhibition, research and outreach activities. Not forgotten and that on November 17 in the State Duma will be held the second reading of the bill on the transfer of property ... "which may be interested clerics in the property of religious organizations.
