Last week the Kennedy Center quietly renamed its “Russian Lounge,” a room featuring Russian art and culture. It's now called “Opera House Circles Lounge.”
— a room featuring the country’s art and culture paid for by one of its richest men, Vladimir Potanin — amid a backlash against Russia since the invasion of Ukraine.. He paid to remodel the existing “Golden Circles Lounge” to create a meeting room reflecting the aesthetic of his native country. It included two new pieces of art commissioned by famed Russian artist Valery Koshlyakov.
Potanin, who has been closely tied to Russian President Vladimir Putin, stepped down from the board of trustees of the Guggenheim Museum,The following day, in an email to trustees obtained by POLITICO, Kennedy Center President Deborah Rutter wrote, “We realize in today’s climate there are questions about the name of the Russian Lounge.” She added that the lounge was not funded, designed or constructed by the Russian government or its embassy.
