The Russian director Kirill Serebrennikov has been fired by Moscow’s Gogol Centre, which he founded.

The city’s cultural department announced that he would not be renewed as artistic director when his contract expires at the end of this month.

Serebrennikov, 51, has been under house arrest since August 2017, after being falsely accused of embezzling $1 million from his theatre.
