...most of all he is busy being himself: God. Fyodor Shurpin's Morning of Our Motherland, 1946-48, is a portrait of Stalin in the literal form of the Pantocrator, contemplating a new world he has brought into being. He wears a white coat of radiant purity and is bathed in the light of an early spring morning. Behind him stretch the green pastures of a transfigured Russia, Poussin (as it were) with tractors and electricity pylons, and shy plumes of smoke rising to greet the socialist dawn from far-off factories.

Several appealing versions of The Nutcracker exist on film or videotape. An especially familiar one is the American Ballet Theatre's 1977 production, a TV holiday staple starring Mikhail Baryshnikov and Gelsey Kirkland, both in their radiant prime.
