Reports of imminent departure Kapkova of the Department of Culture appeared in the media before.

In September 2013, for example, the newspaper “Vedomosti” wrote that the officer will leave of their own volition – just tired.

This is happened on the eve of the election of the mayor of Moscow, Sergei Sobyanin said when about upcoming personnel changes in the government of the city.

«Rumors of resignation Kapkova appear regularly – says” Gazeta.ru “a source in the Department of Culture of Moscow. – Sergey – a prominent politician, ambitious and charismatic. It is understood that, with respect to such a person may occur jealous. On the other hand, such leakage and to help Sergei Alexandrovich to “monitor” the level of his popularity. ” As an example, the source cited Festival “Moscow jam”, which was held under the auspices of the summer capital of the Department of Trade and Services and of which the head of the cultural department expressed quite ironic – and then a few months do not make comments on the press.

In January 2015, some media outlets, citing sources in the government of Moscow argued that Kapkov leave, returning from vacation.

This Information confirmed by the fact that a little earlier resigned his assistant Semenysheva Alla, who has worked with him for 12 years. However, Kapkov denied the rumors about his resignation a few days after they occur.

Sergey Kapkov headed the Department of Culture in September 2011, succeeding Sergey Khudyakov; Six months before that, he was director of the Gorky Park. As head of urban culture Kapkov began an ambitious program of modernization of the city’s parks, libraries and other municipal cultural institutions. He initiated a number of personnel decisions in subordinate city theaters – for example, on his initiative, the artistic director of Theatre Yermolova became Oleg Menshikov and Theatre Gogol headed Serebrennikov, turning it into a “Gogol-center.”

However, in December 2013 Kapkov banned the show in “Gogol center” movie “Showdown: The Story of Pussy Riot» Maxim Pozdorovkin and Mike Lerner. Then he said “Gazeta.ru” that the film does not fit into the cultural policy of the city. According to him, the theater’s mission – “to repair the world” and not to shock the audience “scandalous stories.”

«Let’s stick to this principle and take care of each other” – then said Kapkov.

It began, by the way, “Gogol-center” – the new director was appointed Anastasia Golub. On Wednesday, March 4, there was an official announcement of the appointment of the director of the Taganka Theater actress and manager Irina Apeksimova; Kapkov told “Gazeta.ru” that the artistic director of the theater (which is not present in March 2013, after the resignation of Valery Zolotukhin) Department does not plan to appoint, and turn “Taganka” in the “director’s theater”. He did not specify whether it will affect the update of the department.
