    Sergei Filin

    in Ballet / Dance news & information

    Posted

    Here you can see Sergei walking independently on the streets of Aachen , talking to journalist, who has brought to him a suitcase for his trip back to Russia. Sergei says he is going to come back  to Moscow approximately on the 14th of September, his eyes are getting better, but they hardly will ever be as good as they were. One eye still can't see. The vision on the left eye is unstable. Never the less, Sergei once managed to be at the opera, just to listen to it. (they say, he ran away from doctors then ).

    Sergei's mother, Natalia, says she is not ready to forgive people, who did it to her son. Sergei says, he can't understand these people, because they forgot that he has children....

    MAB, I have found this article from "Zavtra" in the internet, so it is visible and readable around the world. Even more than that, I saw the same link at the Russian ballet forum. This newspaper was named there as an untrustworthy  source of information.. As you can see, later I posted a link to another article, which says Angelina Vorontsova represents Bolshoi in Kazakhstan.  As for oxymoron - I am completely agree with you. But may be you don't know that Stalin was the first to re-open orthodox  churches, during the war. He was using churches for his own reasons ( too long story to discuss). Prochanov is , obviously, a Stalinist , but these days this title is out of fashion.  So, "Russian -orthodox- communists"  is not my invention, this is what they say about themselves. I was also shocked.

    Voluntary withdrawal of Angelina Vorontsova is probably due to the fact that Dmitrichenko is in jail and her teacher, Tsiskaridze, will not work in the theater.

    The newspaper "Завтра" at the very mocking tone said about the situation in Bolshoi.  "Завтра" calls everything that happened in the theater " a love-industrial novel" with "King, Queen and Jack" involved.(For those not informed: there was no romantic interest between S.Filin and A.Vorontsova)

    I would not trust this source of information that much. Well,  earlier, Tsiskaridze (in his interview to Le Figaro) was talking about the possibility that Angelina will leave the Bolshoi)

    P.S. The newspaper "Завтра" ("Tomorrow") - is the nationalist newspaper, led by  the " Russian-Orthodox -Communist"  writer Prochanov. This newspaper, for example, informs readers about the terrorist attack in Boston in the spirit of the theory of conspiracy. You can see the picture here:

    Sim, what you say is right, but still I think the contemporary medicine is able to restore Sergei's vision. For me it looks like the  biggest problem is the time issue. Let us hope the Bolshoi will not invite a new artistic director before Sergei to be back.

    I don't have a subscription so I was only able to read the first paragraph but this is certainly very depressing and upsetting news. :(   And it makes me even more angry when I read about Tsiskaridze and Dmitrichenko and his supporters claiming that Filin is faking or exaggerating his injuries. The thought of him spending the rest of his life blind just makes me sick.

     

     

    This article gives a new number, which is strange, because a couple of days ago Sergei Filin said, he has 10 percent of vision on his left eye. There is a person in the same hospital with Sergei, treating his eyes after an acid attack too, so his wife said, Sergei eyes are stitched all the time.  Let us remember that the results of the transplant tissue operation usually  become obvious in a few weeks time . Let's l hope he will be able to see, because his treatment goes according the plan. Personally, I believe, doctors will find a solution, even if they  need to do the same operation one more time.

    A few lines from the interview with A. Ratmansky:   

     

    Have you been in touch with Sergei Filin [artistic director of the Bolshoi Ballet] after the acid attack on him in January and what do you think about it now?

    It’s terrifying. He’s a very strong person I think he’ll be back.

    Maybe this thing will shake the Bolshoi and they will make some changes within the work ethic and it will help the company to get stronger and better. It’s a big institution. It functions and it functions well even during this terrible accident

    What is Sergei’s condition now?

    I talked to him last week and he mentioned right now he is opening his eyes and he will have a few more surgeries and keep doing that. He sounded very optimistic.

    Nikolay Tsiskaridze shares his opinion on the Filin's case in the recent interview to Бизнес Online Tatarstan news site  http://www.business-gazeta.ru/article/80429/

     How, do you think, will the story with Sergei Filin end?

    - I do not know, it is not interesting to me . All that 's happening lately, is just a farce, it seems to me. And besides, in recent months, all the time they mention my name, and I think they use my name for the promotion. No one reads the news, because they are not interesting, but, using my name, they attract attention. It is ridiculous.
