AT THE TURN OF FATE: THE 1937TH YEAR IN THE LIFE OF A. VAGANOVA
Abstract
The article discusses poorly explored period in life of A. Vaganova. It is concerned with the time, when she worked as an Art director of Ballet Company in the State Opera and Ballet Theatre. Into consideration are taken events, which took place before her exit from the Theater: hunt for «enemies of the people» after assassination of Sergei Kirov, social media bulling against Vaganova as an Art Director, meeting of ballet-dancers aimed to criticize her work. For the first time there is published a request-letter of Kirov Theater ballet-dancers, where they ask The Committee for Arts to invite A. Vaganova as a ballet mistress.
