...which is dedicated to maintaining public awareness of Nureyev's artistic legacy. The tale of Le Corsaire is based on an 1814 Byron poem and was revived in 1868 by the great ballet choreographer and master Marius Petipa. The current Boston Ballet production is based on choreography by Konstantin Sergeyev and was staged by Anna-Marie Holmes (the soon-to-be Artistic Director of Boston Ballet) and Natalia Dudinskaya and Vadim Desnitsky of the Kirov Ballet. The 85-year-old Dudinskaya, a former Kirov ballerina, has become a familiar face around the Boston Ballet over the past few years, coaching...
...worked all night, removing 362 of the drawings from their mattes and packing them, as best he could, in a suitcase. They went with him, locked up, all the way out of Germany; finally, in January 1946, he turned them over to the state restoration workshops at Zagorsk (now Sergeyev Posad), near Moscow, and was able to take a long look at them.

They range from the Bolshevik Platform of neo-Stalinist gadfly Nina Andreyeva to the radical Communists for Democracy group led by Russian vice president Alexander Rutskoi. Sergeyev contends that his Communist Initiative movement alone counts at least 3.5 million sympathizers. Other alternatives are emerging on the fringes of the party. With the tacit approval of Gorbachev, former Foreign Minister Eduard Shevardnadze set up a Democratic Reform Movement earlier this month to further perestroika. Last week Alexander Yakovlev, a key architect of Gorbachev's changes, quit the government...
Faced with the latest plenum setback, Sergeyev vowed to oppose what Gorbachev is doing to the party "by every possible means -- within the law." He admitted that there would be "tough times" ahead for hard-liners. Gorbachev declared last week that the party would only be "strengthened" if those who opposed his new program resigned, but Sergeyev has his own ideas. "The social democrats and liberals -- and that includes Gorbachev -- should get out," says Sergeyev. "Let them create their own new party. True communists have no reason to leave...
