Renowned Russian theater director Kirill Serebrennikov has been released from house arrest and placed under travel restrictions. He is charged with taking part in the embezzlement of state funds, allocated for theater projects.

The Moscow City Court ruled in favor of the defendant on Monday, after his legal team launched an appeal, arguing that his good conduct during the trial should allow him to be released from house arrest.

“I’m going to celebrate now, and soon return to work,” Serebrennikov told reporters following the ruling. “It’s not easy mentally, but I’ve got a lot of things coming up – plays, rehearsals.”
