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.

“Some critics are like chimneysweepers; they put out the fire below, and frighten the swallows from the nests above; they scrape a long time in the chimney, cover themselves with soot, and bring nothing away but a bag of cinders, and then sing out from the top of the house, as if they had built it.”
—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807–1882)
“Neither can I do anything to please critics belonging to the good old school of “projected biography,” who examine an author’s work, which they do not understand, through the prism of his life, which they do not know.”
