...next day, Nikolay allegedly stabbed Lyubov to death, then went to the home of relatives and killed an aging uncle and an aunt, Petr and Galina Kukharskiy, and two young cousins, Tatyana, 9, and Dimitriy, 10. He apparently took money from that house. But he was not done. He drove his 1995 Nissan Altima to his mother's house to pick up his three-year-old son Sergay. Late on Tuesday, police found the toddler's body in a cardboard box. They said the boy may have been lured into the box with toys. The child's body was bruised...
When Alexei reads about a sensational contract killing--for example, the opposition Deputy Galina Starovoitova gunned down on the stairs of her apartment building last fall, or the St. Petersburg politician Mikhail Manevich hit five times at long range as his car sped down a busy street in August 1997, or the mafia leader felled by a sniper's single bullet as he left a steam bath--he has an eerie feeling.

When she first arrived in the U.S., Baiul stuck close to her coach and surrogate mother Galina Zmievskaya and to Ukrainian Olympic champion Viktor Petrenko, who has always acted as a kind of older brother to Baiul. But they have been drifting apart. "She had kind of stepped away from the real hard work on the ice," Petrenko told TIME. "She's just enjoying her life." That included adding a new layer of friends, like Ari Zakarian, 30, the Russian-trained skater who was a passenger in her car the night of the accident. In the days after the crash...
...seems to have pride of place, having danced the first performance of both Swan Lake and Cinderella. She is the latest exemplar of a type of dancer Vinogradov likes: tall, elegantly slender, chilly and lacking the turned-out hip position most classical dancers have. Makhalina will remind audiences of Galina Mezentseva, the director's beautiful but glacial favorite in the '80s. Younger ballerinas are developing, especially the limpid Zhanna Ayupova, who redeems Cinderella with a shy, radiant, technically assured performance in the lead role...
