New Developments In Russian Ballet Attack
Even Eve Harrington preferred acid remarks to acid attacks. But they do things differently in Russia where, on January 17, Bolshoi artistic director Sergei Filin was apprehended by a hooded assailant wielding a vial of sulphuric acid. Filin is receiving treatment in Germany for his burns. Meanwhile, the person who ordered the assault, which damaged the reputation of one of the world’s most famous theatres, is still at large. But a suspect in the incident was just arrested outside of Moscow by Russian police. Police later on Tuesday searched the apartment of Bolshoi soloist Pavel Dmitrichenko (pictured). The ballet star, who has been dancing at the Bolshoi since 2002, is known for playing Ivan the Terrible.
