It became known what post the ex-head of the Department of Culture Kibovsky could occupy

Will cultivate new regions

After a new head, Alexey Fursin, was appointed to the Moscow Department of Culture, nothing was heard about his former head, Alexander Kibovsky. However, after a month, it looks like it has found a use.

From a trustworthy source, MK learned that they are about to announce a new appointment for the former head of the capital’s Department of Culture – Kibovsky may become an adviser to the mayor in the Moscow government on issues of cultural development and cultural interaction with new regions. It’s hard to say whether it’s a demotion or a promotion for him, but his biography and experience in the cultural field indicate that the person may find himself in the right place.

Alexander Kibovsky is a graduate of the Russian State University for the Humanities and has an academic degree. What is not unimportant, he completed compulsory military service in the navy (sailor, junior sergeant, sergeant), and this is the only case in the history of the modern Russian army when a candidate of sciences served in conscription. He was even awarded the medal “For Service in the Marine Corps” – in general, a combatant, not a timid ten people. In addition, Kibovsky is well known as an expert and specialist in the history of military costume, often acting as an expert on these issues, as well as as a consultant on historical and military paintings.

So in new territories, where life has not yet completely returned to a peaceful course, military knowledge, including in the cultural sphere, may not be superfluous for future leaders. Even if the adviser on cultural development in the regions will be in Moscow. Which is unlikely – you will still have to go to the field, establish connections, and influence personnel policy in one way or another.
