In 1995 Grigorovich left the Bolshoi due to a scandal, only to return in 2001. He is strongly criticized for being rude and ill-tempered with actors and denying modern ideas in the sphere of theatre and art. Grigorovich himself blames Kokonin and Russian Ministry of Culture for his past difficulties.

Famous quotes containing the word critics:
“Decadence is a difficult word to use since it has become little more than a term of abuse applied by critics to anything they do not yet understand or which seems to differ from their moral concepts.”
—Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
“Some have at first for wits, then poets passed,
Turned critics next, and proved plain fools at last.”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
“All the critics who could not make their reputations by discovering you are hoping to make them by predicting hopefully your approaching impotence, failure and general drying up of natural juices. Not a one will wish you luck or hope that you will keep on writing unless you have political affiliations in which case these will rally around and speak of you and Homer, Balzac, Zola and Link Steffens.”
—Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
