Pressure being exerted on Konstantin Raikin

Pressure is being exerted on Konstantin, the son of the renowned artist Arkady Raikin. Moreover, it is coming from the highest levels of power.

It has emerged that Culture Minister Vladimir Medinsky forced Konstantin Raikin to sell his stake in the company “Art-invest”. The organisation is involved in the construction of a stage for the theatre. Significant funds have been allocated from the budget for this purpose.

It appears that the minister or someone in his circle decided to pocket the millions.

Meanwhile, Raikin himself publicly accused Medinsky of exerting pressure on the arts.
