Biography

In 1977 he graduated from the Faculty of Theater Studies (Department of Economics and Organization of Theater Business) of the Leningrad Institute of Theater, Music and Cinematography (LGITMiK).

After graduating from the institute, he held the position of chief administrator at the Leningrad Maly Drama Theater for a year. In 1978, Georgy Tovstonogov invited him to the BDT. From 1978 to 1983, Anatoly Iksanov was the chief administrator of the Leningrad Bolshoi Drama Theater named after M. Gorky (BDT). From 1983 to 96 he worked as deputy director, and from 96 to 98 as director of this theater. In 1994, he formed the BDT Charitable Foundation and became its executive director.

Anatoly Iksanov studied foreign experience in the field of theater management, completed professional internships in the United States of America (at the Milwaukee Repertory Theater and Yale University), France, and Switzerland. Wrote three books (co-authored): “How to ask for money for culture” (St. Petersburg, 1995), “BDT Charitable Foundation. Theory and practice of success" (St. Petersburg, 1997) and "Resource support for cultural institutions in a market economy" (M, 2008). He was the first to coin the term “fundraising” in Russia.
In 2006 he became a candidate of economic sciences.

From 1998 to 2000, Anatoly Iksanov served as deputy general director of the Kultura TV channel.

In 2000-13 served as general director of the State Academic Bolshoi Theater of Russia.

Anatoly Gennadievich (Tahir Gadelzyanovich) Iksanov was born on February 18, 1952 in Leningrad.

In 1977, Iksanov became a graduate of the department of economics and organization of theatrical affairs of the theater studies faculty of the Leningrad Institute of Theater, Music and Cinematography (LGITMiK). It was noted that he, a master of sports in fencing, ended up at the theater university after he was “lured there from Voenmekh” (Leningrad Order of the Red Banner Mechanical Institute).

After graduating from the institute, Iksanov worked for a year as the chief administrator at the Leningrad Maly Drama Theater. In 1978, he became the chief administrator at the Maxim Gorky Bolshoi Drama Theater (BDT, since 1992 - the St. Petersburg Academic Bolshoi Drama Theater named after G.A. Tovstonogov), which he came to at the invitation of the theater’s chief director, Georgy Tovstonogov. From 1983 to 1996, Iksanov served as deputy director of the theater. In parallel, in 1994, Iksanov, to support the activities of the BDT and the social protection of its workers, created a charitable foundation and became its executive director, and in 1996 he took the post of director of the theater. It was noted that while working at the theater, Iksanov underwent an internship in the USA, France and Switzerland, where he studied foreign experience in the field of theater management.

In 1998, Iksanov took the position of deputy general director of the Kultura TV channel, one of the founders and editor-in-chief of which was Mikhail Shvydkoy, who in May of the same year took the post of chairman of the All-Russian State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company (VGTRK). A few years later, the media called Iksanov Shvydkoy’s man, who became the Minister of Culture of the Russian Federation in 2000.

In September 2000, by order of the head of the Russian government, Mikhail Kasyanov, Iksanov was appointed general director of the State Academic Bolshoi Theater of Russia (SABT). It was noted that the government was going to take control of the “huge cash flows” allocated for the planned reconstruction of the theater, and therefore a “competent specialist, a manager who would take on non-creative issues” was appointed as the head of the theater. But if at first Iksanov, who was not yet known in Moscow, as Nezavisimaya Gazeta noted, was received with restraint, then already in April 2001, Kultura suggested that, “apparently, management will soon become the strongest side” of the Bolshoi Theater.

Arriving at the Bolshoi Theater, Iksanov, as part of the fight against numerous speculators with the help of the international consulting company McKinsey, which had experience in optimizing the management of museums and theaters, radically changed the ticket sales system. Later, discussing the changes in the Bolshoi Theater that occurred from the moment he headed the theater, Iksanov noted that he and his associates managed to return the Bolshoi Theater to the international arena. “The budget has grown several times, and as a result, both wages and fees have increased. To be honest, presidential grants have greatly contributed to this,” he said. The director of the Bolshoi also emphasized the importance of creating a board of trustees of the Bolshoi Theater, which, in his words, “guaranteed additional income for years to come.” The council included major officials and businessmen, as well as representatives of companies such as Lukoil, Basic Element, Transneft, Vneshtorgbank, and Severstal Group. The press noted that it was Iksanov who was the first in Russia to coin the term “fundraising” (from the English fund-raising) - denoting the collection of extra-budgetary, sponsorship funds for the implementation of socially significant projects of non-profit organizations.

Iksanov called another important moment for the theater he headed “the opening of the New Stage and thereby creating the opportunity to close the main building for repairs.” He emphasized that, according to the adopted project for the reconstruction and restoration of the GABTA, it is planned to “preserve the building as an architectural monument” as much as possible. Meanwhile, the implementation of the project was accompanied from the very beginning by scandals surrounding financing. Thus, in 2006, Moscow Mayor Yuri Luzhkov resigned from the theater’s board of trustees, speaking out, according to the official version, against what he considered to be an inflated estimate for the reconstruction of the Bolshoi Theater. The reconstruction of the old theater building was planned to be completed in 2008, but it was later announced that it would only be completed by the end of 2010 - beginning of 2011. Subsequently, the reconstruction of the Bolshoi Theater building, in accordance with the instructions of Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, was transferred to the capital authorities, which was personally announced by the Moscow mayor in the summer of 2009. “Luzhkov, who was once bypassed when choosing a reconstruction contractor, can celebrate his victory,” wrote the Vremya Novostey newspaper, emphasizing that in this case, of course, the mayor will also bear “responsibility for the timely completion of the theater.”

In general, assessing the results of Iksanov’s activities as General Director of the Bolshoi Theater, the press noted that even after the closure of the main stage, the theater continued to “produce premiere after premiere,” however, “not one of them became an event,” and in most cases the society did not discuss premieres, but "endless scandals." Among them, in 2005, the media closely followed the fate of the scandalous production of the “hooligan opera” “Children of Rosenthal” to the music of composer Leonid Desyatnikov with a libretto by postmodernist writer Vladimir Sorokin. The production caused dissatisfaction among a number of deputies who attended the dress rehearsal. In addition, in 2005, the director of the Bolshoi Theater made a loud statement about the planned mass layoffs of employees caused by the need to save money and restore the theater. A significant event in 2006 was the resignation of Luzhkov from the board of trustees, who opposed the overestimated, in his opinion, estimates for the reconstruction of the Bolshoi Theater. Also widely discussed was the situation surrounding Iksanov and the former soloist of the theater, ballerina Anastasia Volochkova, who, finding the director’s statement about her height and weight offensive, filed a lawsuit against him, but lost the lawsuit on this issue in the spring of 2004.

Best of the day

Iksanov - Honored Worker of Culture of Russia (1994), Honored Artist of Ukraine (2004). He is one of the authors of the books “How to Ask for Money for Culture” (St. Petersburg, 1995) and “BDT Charitable Foundation. Theory and Practice of Success” (St. Petersburg, 1997). As the General Director of the Bolshoi Theater, Iksanov was awarded a number of public awards: he is the laureate of the annual national award “Person of the Year” established by the Russian news agency “RBC” (2004), the Theater Prize of the newspaper “Moskovsky Komsomolets” (2005) and the National Award of Public Recognition “Russian of the Year” ", established by the Russian Academy of Business and Entrepreneurship (2006).

When asked about free time, Iksanov answered that he had absolutely none. According to him, all the most interesting things still happen at work, in the theater. “The only thing is that in the summer you can carve out two weeks, go to the country, mow the grass with a lawnmower,” he joked.

The contract of a high-ranking official was terminated early. His successor will be Vladimir Urin

General Director of the Bolshoi Theater Anatoly Iksanov leaves his post early. According to the contract, his powers expired in 2014.

Mr. Iksanov’s successor will be the general director of the Stanislavsky and Nemirovich-Danchenko Musical Theater Vladimir Urin.

Anatoly Iksanov became the general director of the Bolshoi Theater in 2000, replacing People's Artist of the USSR Vladimir Vasiliev in this post.

Anatoly Iksanov followed Nikolai Tsiskaridze

Over nine summer days, the Bolshoi Theater lost its most famous artist and general director

On July 9 at 10 a.m., an official announcement will be made about the change of head of the country's main theater: Anatoly Iksanov will give up the post of general director of the Bolshoi Theater to Vladimir Urin. This is reported by Izvestia’s sources in theater circles.

Mr. Iksanov’s fourth contract will be terminated early: according to the document, the current director’s term of office expires only at the end of 2014.

According to Izvestia, the Ministry of Culture negotiated with at least two candidates for the post of head of the Bolshoi: the director of the Mariinsky Theater Valery Gergiev and the director of the Stanislavsky and Nemirovich-Danchenko Musical Theater Vladimir Urin.

According to Izvestia, Mr. Gergiev would agree to head the Bolshoi, but on the terms of a joint directorate: the maestro had no intention of leaving the Mariinsky Theater.

The prospect of returning to the structure of the Imperial Theaters did not inspire the founder, and the Ministry of Culture turned its attention to Bolshaya Dmitrovka, where Vladimir Urin was in charge. The latter agreed to head the Bolshoi Theater. The new director of the Stanislavsky Theater will be Mr. Urin's first deputy, conductor Ara Karapetyan.

Anatoly Gennadyevich Iksanov (real name and patronymic Takhir Gadelzyanovich) led the Bolshoi Theater for 13 years. A theater expert by training, he began his career as the chief administrator of the Leningrad Maly Theater. A year later he moved to the same position at the Bolshoi Drama Theater, and in 1996 he rose to the position of director of the Bolshoi Drama Theater. In 1998, at the invitation of his close friend Mikhail Shvydkoy, he came to the Kultura TV channel, where he worked as deputy general director. On September 1, 2000, Mr. Iksanov became head of the Bolshoi Theater.

His arrival coincided with the lightning-quick dismissal of his predecessor, Vladimir Vasiliev. The People's Artist of the USSR learned about his retirement from a radio message. Introducing Anatoly Iksanov to the troupe, the then Minister of Culture Mikhail Shvydkoy stated that from now on the theater would be led by effective managers.

The Iksanov period in the history of the Bolshoi Theater will remain a time of great administrative achievements and deafening scandals. During his reign, the Bolshoi Theater opened a new stage and carried out a total reconstruction of the historical building.

Mr. Iksanov’s useful innovations included choreographic “workshops”, a youth opera program, a powerful board of trustees, broadcasts of Bolshoi performances in cinemas, as well as the theater’s cooperation with such iconic figures of modern art as Alexei Ratmansky, Dmitry Chernyakov, Leonid Desyatnikov.

At the same time, there was rampant speculation on tickets, turning the Bolshoi Theater into a theater for “walking fur coats”: for the opening of the historical stage in October 2011, tickets were offered for 2 million rubles.

Loud partings with unwanted soloists - often very scandalous persons - continued throughout the entire period of Iksanov's reign. Starting with the unformatted Nikolai Baskov and Anastasia Volochkova and ending with the rebellious Ruslan Pronin and Nikolai Tsiskaridze, many victims of Mr. Iksanov’s personnel decisions provided the Bolshoi Theater with powerful waves of negativity in the information space.

The wake-up call for the general director sounded in 2011, when a porn scandal occurred involving the manager of the ballet troupe, Gennady Yanin. Mr. Yanin resigned, but there was no administrative investigation into whether his questionable images had been leaked.

Tensions in the troupe boiled over - literally and figuratively - in January 2013, when the artistic director of the ballet troupe, Sergei Filin, was subjected to an acid attack. This crime caused tremendous damage to the international reputation of the Bolshoi Theater, incomparable even with the damage from financial violations committed during the reconstruction of the historical stage.

Since November 2012, Mr. Iksanov’s main opponent, and at the same time a contender for his post, has become the Bolshoi Ballet premier Nikolai Tsiskaridze. A few days after twelve masters of Russian art asked the president of the country to give the director’s chair to Mr. Tsiskaridze, the government ahead of schedule and demonstratively extended the contract with Mr. Iksanov - but not for five years, as was the case in the 2000s, but only for two.

The public sparring between Iksanov and Tsiskaridze, which escalated after the attack on Mr. Filin, continued until recently. On June 30, the most famous dancer of the Bolshoi Theater was fired from the troupe. Ironically, the winner only outlived the loser by nine days.

Despite the inevitability of a change in the odious director, the troupe took Mr. Iksanov’s resignation as a surprise, which was confirmed to Izvestia by the heads of creative services - the manager of the opera troupe, Makvala Kasrashvili, and the head of the ballet artistic council, Boris Akimov.

According to Mr. Akimov, he was surprised by the “untimeliness of the personnel decision”: the troupe lost its general director on the eve of the ballet’s high-profile tour in London and the important premiere of the ballet Onegin.

Perhaps the last straw in the founder's patience was the scandal with the appointment of the cast for the mentioned ballet, as a result of which the “face” of the Bolshoi Theater, prima Svetlana Zakharova, pointedly refused to participate in the performance.

Vladimir Urin, who has directed the Stanislavsky Theater since 1995, like Mr. Iksanov, has experience in carrying out large-scale reconstruction, which, however, is unlikely to be useful to the Bolshoi. A more important role in the choice of his candidacy could have been played by exemplary calm and peace in the team entrusted to Mr. Urin: local intra-theater conflicts practically do not penetrate into the outside world.

Recently, Stasik has actually been a donor to the Bolshoi Theater. In 2011, he presented the Bolshoi Theater with artistic director of the ballet Sergei Filin. Mr. Filin took with him prime ministers Kristina Kretova, Semyon Chudin and Maria Semenyachenko. Now it’s the turn of the main donor in the person of the CEO.

At the beginning of 2012, in a conversation with Izvestia, Vladimir Urin categorically rejected the opportunity to head the Bolshoi Theater.

If they had suggested it 15 years ago, I would have thought and reflected. Just like for an artist who is invited to the Bolshoi Theater, this is some sign of being treated as a professional. But today I would immediately refuse. I have a wonderful job myself. And until they kick me out of here, I would like to take care of this house,” Mr. Urin assured.

Judging by the fact that the head of Stasik steadfastly adhered to this position for a long time, the Ministry of Culture found very serious arguments to convince him to move from Bolshaya Dmitrovka to Teatralnaya Square.

In recent months, many experts have agreed that Mr. Urin is perhaps the only figure in the domestic theater world capable of coping with such a complex and sick organism as the Bolshoi Theater. In this sense, neither the Ministry of Culture nor Mr. Urin had practically any choice.

Vladimir Urin became the General Director of the Bolshoi Theater instead of Iksanov.

Previously, Vladimir Urin directed the Moscow Academic Musical Theater named after Stanislavsky and Nemirovich-Danchenko. The previous general director of the Bolshoi Theater, Anatoly Iksanov, headed the Bolshoi Theater for almost 13 years.

MOSCOW, July 9 - RIA Novosti. General Director of the Bolshoi Theater Anatoly Iksanov has been dismissed, this post will be taken by Vladimir Urin, who headed the Moscow Academic Musical Theater named after Stanislavsky and Nemirovich-Danchenko, Russian Minister of Culture Vladimir Medinsky announced on Tuesday at a meeting of the heads of creative groups of the Bolshoi Theater.

"Anatoly Gennadievich worked at the Bolshoi Theater for 13 years, he did a lot: reconstruction was completed, a new stage was opened. But everyone understands perfectly well that human strength has limits. The difficult situation suggests that the theater needs updating. The decision is not spontaneous. It fits Urin’s candidacy does not need to be submitted to the development concept of the Ministry of Culture,” Medinsky said at the meeting.

It is reported that Iksanov received the post of adviser to the minister on theater affairs at the Ministry of Culture.

“Urin’s candidacy was supported by the entire theatrical world, all areas of theatrical art. And this gives us hope. I hope the troupe will accept a new leader. I would like to express my gratitude to Iksanov for 13 years in the theater - a time of serious achievements,” added Deputy Chairman of the Government Olga Golodets.

Vladimir Urin himself said at a meeting of the leaders of the Bolshoi Theater's creative teams that he does not plan revolutionary actions in the theater and is counting on the help and support of the team.

In addition to Urin, two more candidates were considered for the post of General Director of the Bolshoi Theater - members of the Bolshoi Theater Board of Trustees Alexander Budberg and Mikhail Shvydkoy.

What is Vladimir Urin famous for?

Urin began his theatrical career in 1973, becoming the director of the Youth Theater in the city of Kirov. In 1981, he moved to Moscow, where he headed the Cabinet of Children's and Puppet Theaters of the WTO (now the Union of Theater Workers of Russia). Urin conceived and implemented the idea of establishing a national professional award in the field of theater "Golden Mask". In 1995, Urin became the general director of the Moscow Academic Musical Theater named after Stanislavsky and Nemirovich-Danchenko. Under his leadership, the idea of a radical reconstruction of the theater building was developed and implemented.

What the Stanislavsky Music Theater experienced under the leadership of Urin

The Moscow Musical Theater named after Stanislavsky and Nemirovich-Danchenko rarely gave reasons for discussing issues not related to creativity. These reasons were two fires in 2003 and 2005, as a result of which the theater almost completely burned out (the second fire occurred during the restoration work and delayed the planned opening of the theater). Another dark story happened in 2004, when the theater’s chief choreographer Dmitry Bryantsev disappeared under unclear circumstances. On March 31, 2005, his body was discovered in Prague. Finally, a scandal accompanied the production of Britten's A Midsummer Night's Dream in the summer of 2012. The producers were accused of pedophilia and promoting drugs, but none of these accusations were confirmed, and as a result, the production of “The Dream” received the Golden Mask Award in the category “Best Performance in Opera.”

What do you remember about Anatoly Iksanov?

Iksanov graduated from the theater studies department of the Leningrad Institute of Theater, Music and Cinematography in 1977. From 1978 to 1998 he worked at the BDT (since 1996 - director). On September 1, 2000, by order of the government of the Russian Federation, he was appointed general director of the State Academic Bolshoi Theater.

Under the new director, the New Stage was opened in 2002, thereby creating the opportunity to close the main stage for repairs. Reconstruction of the historical building began in the summer of 2005, it was planned to be completed in 2008, but the building opened only in October 2011. According to the Accounts Chamber, during the period of reconstruction of the Bolshoi Theater, its value increased 16 times.

The ballet troupe's premier, Nikolai Tsiskaridze, harshly publicly criticized the results of the reconstruction in the fall of 2011. In June of this year, Tsiskaridze left the theater with a scandal - the Bolshoi Theater did not renew his contracts as a dancer and teacher.

Conflict between Nikolai Tsiskaridze and the Bolshoi Theater

What is the Bolshoi Theater memorable for during Iksanov’s leadership?

The less than thirteen years during which Iksanov held the position of general director were marked by a large number of scandals and incidents. The dismissal of Anastasia Volochkova in 2003 received resonance. The formal reason for dismissal was that “the ballerina does not meet the physical fitness requirements and it is impossible for her to find a partner.” Volochkova demanded that the director of the Bolshoi Theater compensate her for moral damages in the amount of 30 million rubles, but her claim was rejected.

In March 2011, the manager of the theater’s ballet troupe, Gennady Yanin, was at the center of the scandal. Pornographic photographs defaming him were posted on the Internet. The mailing was sent to 3,848 addresses around the world, including major newspapers and television channels. Yanin wrote a letter of resignation.

In the fall of 2011, a scandal erupted due to speculators reselling tickets at many times inflated prices. As the press service of the Bolshoi Theater said, the most expensive ticket to the Bolshoi Theater costs three thousand rubles, while after markup its cost increases more than seven times. As a result, the Bolshoi Theater introduced the sale of tickets using passports.

Under Iksanov, an assassination attempt was made on the artistic director of the ballet Filin in January of this year, which revealed serious internal conflicts within the Bolshoi Theater (the main suspect in this case remains the leading soloist of the Bolshoi Theater Pavel Dmitrichenko).

How the Bolshoi Theater greeted the news of Iksanov’s resignation

Acting artistic director of the Bolshoi Theater ballet troupe Galina Stepanenko: “For me, the change of leadership was very unexpected, very sudden - like this, without finishing the season! I don’t know how to feel about it yet.”

“The new director will be suicidal if he returns Nikolai Tsiskaridze to the theater”

Deputy Chairman of the Bolshoi Theater Board of Trustees Mikhail Shvydkoy: “From my point of view, Iksanov is the most experienced theater director. Vladimir Urin is also a man with extensive theatrical experience, he was lucky, he received the Bolshoi in good condition. Those public scandals that were largely provoked by the press, have nothing to do with the real life of the theater. The Bolshoi is a stable organization with great creative potential. The new director will be suicidal if he returns Nikolai Tsiskaridze to the theater, and I did not notice Urin’s passion for suicide.”

In 2006, he became a laureate of the National Public Recognition Award “Russian of the Year” (established by the Russian Academy of Business and Entrepreneurship).
