The future director of the State Museum of Literature is a specialist in the history of Russian classical literature and literary criticism, modern Russian poetry and prose, history of national education; he also studies the artistic legacy of the poet Arseniy Tarkovsky.

      The changes in personnel are connected, in particular, with the new concept of the Museum development. The Museum will serve a basis for creating the platform for the unification of modern writers and readers - for example, the presentations of new books will be held here, not in the large bookstores.
