At the exhibitions of the State Tretyakov Gallery will be works that might offend the feelings of believers. On this form of self-censorship in an interview with Itogi said the new museum director Irina Lebedeva.

Lebedev stressed that self-censorship, which she would like to see in the Tretyakov Gallery, is not confined to relations with the church: "Not many people know, but we have occasion, their internal scandals, when I took off work to show because they say, contain obscenities. And I blamed for this. But I think it impossible that the public museum of national art works were exhibited with the use of foul language. "

In an interview with Irina Lebedeva distinguished between problems of public museums and private exhibition spaces in connection with the "provocative" Contemporary Art: "Museum - the state institution, our goal is to give a modern material different status, type it into the history of art. But the most acute and provocative may appear in the galleries, the benefit of their set today.

Director of the gallery has also affected major scandal involving the dismissal in 2008 from the State Tretyakov Gallery, Andrei Erofeev, head of the newest trends, responsible acclaimed series of exhibitions both in the Tretyakov Gallery, as well as outside it ( "Forbidden Art", etc.). "In 2000-2001, when the Tretyakov Gallery, started working with relevant modern art, it still does not enter into our lives. It turned out that the contemporary art space has been conquered by it to us. And complex relationships, scandals have been part of this policy. Today, when pads weight, and held in Moscow Biennale of Contemporary Art, such a senseless way to continue.
Irina Lebedeva led the State Tretyakov Gallery in July 2009. Before that she spent four years as deputy director of the gallery on scientific work. Immediately after the appointment of a new position, Lebedeva gave a series of interviews about the present and the future of the museum.
