It seems you dont read the russian forum because people with more knowledge than people from outside like us said Ruslan actually didnt like being a teacher, thats why they hire someone else.

Also some of the best ballet teachers werent ballet superstars

My first reaction upon reading this: bruhhh what?

I honestly just wanted to leave it at that and post the “bruh what?” or ignore that very enlightened take of yours on the issue regarding Ruslan altogether, but I’m in a mood to act irritated.

First of all, come off anon if you wanna be edgy and smart like that.

Second of all, since when is the stuff people say on FORUMS treated as holy writ?

Next. Did Ruslan tell you all that? Or did you read that on a forum, a place that unites possessors of the ultimate truth? Even Ruslan’s Instagram post regarding the BT’s management’s decision to dismiss him as a coach and his interactions in the comments to that post alone testify to the contrary.

Yeah, right, some of the best ballet teachers weren’t / aren’t “superstars”, however, they are professionals; their schooling was / is immaculate. They earned the right and the privilege to teach through flawless performance (regardless of their rank), unmatched knowledge of the method, and superb abilities. The guy in the video boasts none of those things.

Peace out

Just so you guys understand: this **** (insert any epithet you want) replaced Ruslan Skvortsov, a principal dancer with the Bolshoi and an honored artist of the Russian Federation, as a coach-repetiteur

Bolshoi isn’t even a circus at this point anymore; it’s a dumpster for incompetent and underqualified (and Lord, is that an understatement) rookies

The Antichrist is purposefully dragging the company to his own level, that is my conclusion. He can’t tolerate professionalism, he hates the art form itself. He’s so full of bile and envy he’s doing everything in his power to make sure he stands out, which isn’t that hard if you’re surrounded by amateurs of this ilk

I do not own the rights to this video

I promised myself I wouldn’t post this, but here I am. I keep receiving asks and although I want to respond to most of them, I just… can’t? The reason is that the same day I found out about what happened to Ruslan, I received a very low personal blow irl. I’m absolutely crushed. I don’t know whether I’m fishing for attention right now with this post, I’m gonna be totally honest. I just feel totally drained, emotionally destroyed and I have no hope. I’ll try my best to get back to you guys as soon as I can.

As a follow up to the ask I just posted

Without naming any names, basically what’s happening at the God forsaken theatre is based either on sex, corruption, a sort of money laundering, nepotism (and not necessarily familial; more-so “friendly” although they know no friendship and will betray anyone) and squealing (as in, certain individuals reporting on what’s going on among members of the company to the management in exchange for privileges).

A certain dancer we all love or at least respect is almost the sole ruler and commands the management.

One anon asked me why I said that some of the principals are untouchable. Dear anon, without saying which one of the several you wanted to know about in particular: because *they* literally f!cked *their* way up the company hierarchy, which started even before *they* joined the company. Obviously, they’re not the only one.

This all is very incoherent but I’m so mad right now I can’t even link words together

Girl, what is happening at the BT? Spill the tea for us

The fucking demon has lost the last bits of his mind, that’s what’s happening! He has no shame!

Now he’s officially gotten rid of Ruslan! I’ve been ignoring all asks I’ve received since I posted about Tissi’s promotion, didn’t comment on Tsvirko’s promotion, but the Antichrist firing one of the VERY few true artists is beyond what I can describe using decent language.

Maybe I should respond to the questions after all.

lasylphidedubolchoi

Your guesses on which principal dancer the Antichrist is gonna get rid of now that tissi is one? I pray to god it’s not Lobukhin cause otherwise I’m gonna be tempted to post things those petty tyrants could sue me for

Let’s think logically: Zakharova and Shipulina are safe for obvious reasons, same with Smirnova. They won’t dare get rid of Krysanova bc then the community of balletomanes in Moscow might start a riot lol. Nikulina and Stashkevich should be safe bc them becoming principals was sort of the antichrists doing if my memory serves me right. Obraztsova… could be but I doubt it. Stepanova — I wish, but won’t happen probably.

Lantratov is untouchable bc he’s the only one who currently deserves to be a male principal, let’s keep it real. Rodkin has become too big a name, so not him. Belyakov — Zakharova won’t allow it. Ovcharenko is an asset to the management for certain reasons, so not him either. Savin just recently got promoted (relatively), so I doubt that it would be him. Chudin — ehhh maybe but I doubt it; he’s one of, like, the three dancers who can execute the 5th position lol. That leaves us with Lopatin and Lobukhin. The Antichrist hates talent bc he has none, so my guess is, he might target Lobukhin the same way he did with Nina, Maria Alexandrova and Ruslan.

Omg why are your responses so needlessly aggressive and antagonistic?? It’s honestly obnoxious

I find them neither needlessly aggressive, nor antagonistic. They are not, truly. You get what you ask for. Besides, I’ve mentioned multiple times on this blog that I’m very short-tempered and aggressive, so what was it exactly that surprised you so much you felt the need to send me this ask?

Why do you keep checking on my responses if I’m “honestly obnoxious”? Block me and move on.

I will not be responding to your asks anymore; I honestly see no point in that. If you feel like you have something to tell me, dm me (open 24/7) or at the very least come off anon.

I mean probably shouldn't go hard on Sevenard's book. To be fair people in the ballet business do publish biographys sometimes, and compared to that this is just a kid's book, which she probably only needs to tell her story and others to do the illustrations (like it obviously does not take as much energy as Khoreva's book, or other biographys other ballet dancers published before, because the book is mostly images with a few words). It doesn't need to be "necessary" if someone just wants to do it out of a hobby and happen to have the resources to do so, right? Everyone does other things in their spare time, what's there to judge?

What exactly is the point of your message? I’m perfectly aware of the fact many dancers have published / do publish biographies or autobiographies, as well as of the nature of Eleonora’s project, so what is this condescending attempt at enlightening about precisely? Where exactly did I judge Eleonora per se? Yes, I do consider projects of that nature, including the one in question, unnecessary and wasteful and I voiced that opinion of mine, yet where did I judge anyone? If you want to give unsolicited advice as to what random strangers on the Internet should do and post on their blogs, I suggest you do it elsewhere. Have a great weekend.

Is it that you do not like Sevenard's dancing, or that you think she is simply too inexperienced to be publishing a book? Or something else altogether?

Hmm, interesting that that’s how you interpreted my post; why do I always come off this way ha

I do not like what Eleonora’s dancing has become, but I certainly don’t hate her. That has nothing to do with my reaction, however. The book is somewhat of a fairytale for little girls, from what I gather, so experience probably wouldn’t even be essential. I don’t like that general trend of everyone suddenly turning into a “writer”. I mean… I guess entrepreneurial spirit should be encouraged, yet let’s keep it real: is there REALLY a need for a book like that? There’s so many books and art pieces out there that could encourage the younger generations, give them strength, hope and confidence, so why waste resources and add to the ever-growing pile of disposable things? Now, I wouldn’t feel any level of animosity towards the people who purchase the book and / or enjoy it – that’s their choice and theirs alone, but, in my opinion, the project as a whole is unnecessary.

For those of you asking

That’s the cover of Eleonora’s book titled “I Will Dance” (no, I couldn’t find a higher resolution pic of the cover)

The book is apparently targeted at little girls (I’m talking LITTLE). Here’s the annotation:

“The book is about a little girl who, entering the magical world of ballet, realizes that she wants to dedicate her life to the art form.

This is a story of a rough path to success. A story that will surely strike home with little girls that dream of becoming ballerinas and taking to the big stage, because if one can dream, nothing is impossible!

The book will be a great gift for girls.”

Well, thank god she’s at least not teaching anyone anything like Khoreva
