Boomer Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 (edited) Bizarre and rather scary... A renowned Russian ballerina with the famed Bolshoi Theatre has decided against returning home from Canada because she fears for her safety, a Russian newspaper reported Tuesday. In its report, the Izvestia daily cited Svetlana Lunkina as receiving threats and facing blackmail.

GailR Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 How sad that the lovely escapist bauble that I perceived the ballet world to be has been smashed. The Times has this news in an article today along with a beautiful clip of her dancing something I do not recognise - Gail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Mallinson Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Boomer, you quoted in full an article from the Toronto Star and I have modified your posting as it is probably in breach of their copyright. Papers and websites are generally happy with short sample quotes, so the acceptable practice is to quote a couple of lines and then give a reference to the original article, in this case to here. We should all tread carefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boomer Posted January 30, 2013 Author Share Posted January 30, 2013 Ah, thanks for clarifying- I will certainly work with that from now on... I have not seen anything really about what may be behind all of this; although there have been rumblings of problems in the past, this obviously seems quite a bit more serious...I wonder if the police have made any progress in dealing with the whole gruesome matter...
