Nothing sacrilegious not here, and the apparent desire to spoil the mood in the city is, - quotes" Interfax "Hermitage director Mikhail Piotrovsky. - The prosecutor's office has received many complaints .

The state Hermitage Museum in 2015 will not provide a discount on tickets for Russian citizens, said in an interview to "Interfax", the Museum Director Mikhail Piotrovsky.

"In 2015, we eliminate the division tickets for Russian and non-Russian, because discount for Russian citizens have ceased to act. It is perceived as a kind of "freebie" and as a right for which we must fight, saying "why me without a passport does not give the Russian ticket"? This is a kind of commercialism that is not related to art," said Piotrowski.

According to him, the well-being of Russian citizens already allows them to pay for the trip to the Hermitage full ticket price. "When a Russian citizen was poor, we were forced to do this benefit, but now the ticket cost 400-500 rubles available to each citizen of Russia, so we decided to remove this division," said the Director.

Piotrovsky also assured that the benefits for children, students and pensioners will continue.

"We don't raise rates, because we have a social policy. A third of visitors to the Hermitage goes to the Museum for free. This is not anywhere in the world except the Anglo-Saxon museums, where tickets are generally absolutely free. Experience has shown that the benefits that we give to pensioners, students and children, they act, it attracts people," said Petrowski.
