The building of the Central House of Artists (CHA) on the Crimean shaft, which he shares with the Tretyakov Gallery, will be fully transferred to the Tretyakov Gallery, said on Tuesday the Minister of Culture Vladimir Medinsky at a meeting of the State Duma Committee on Culture.

"We have a big controversy around the building of the Central House of Artists, which we planned to demolish, build up its housing." We are now completing the work of transforming the Central House of the Artist, who was illegally privatized at the time, we are completing a set of works to create a single exhibition site of the State Tretyakov This will be the largest exhibition area in the country, "Medinsky said.

According to him, work is also continuing to create a new complex of the Tretyakov Gallery in Lavrushinsky Lane. "This is a very complex project, this project has stopped on many occasions, we practically moved it from the dead, it is now financed by the president's decision, and by 2019 we plan to complete these works," the minister said.

In September of this year, the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation decided to liquidate the International Confederation of Artists' Unions (ICAH), which owned the areas of the Central House of Artists on the Crimean shaft.

The Association of Public Associations of the ISS was established in 1992 and became the legal successor to the property of the Union of Artists of the USSR.
