Ballerun pavel dmitrichenko where now. Pavel Dmitrichenko returns to the Bolshoi Theater
And already rehearsing new roles
Ex-soloist Big Pavel Dmitrichenko, convicted as an organizer of " acid attack» to the artistic director of the Bolshoi Ballet Sergei Filin for 5.5 years in a penal colony, returned to Grand Theatre. Recall that on May 18 he was released, having served half of the term on parole (three years and three months from the moment of detention in March 2013). As it became known to MK, Dmitrichenko has been going to the Bolshoi for morning classes to the teacher Vladimir Nikonov for a month now in order to restore his form and subsequently try to return to his native stage.
Pavel Dmitrichenko himself prefers not to communicate with journalists, but how did the troupe react to his appearance? On the condition of anonymity (the artists still do not want to be frank with the press), one of the soloists of the Bolshoi Theater agreed to tell us about this ...
He served his term, and it is believed that in this case a person has atoned for his guilt and, according to the law, he has the right to return to the profession. That is, to return your life, creativity, start all over again, from a blank sheet. And I respect this decision of his with respect and positively. Another thing is whether Pasha, after 3 years in prison, when there were no necessary conditions for ballet classes, will be able to return to the stage of the Bolshoi Theater? Although I know that he did not stop his studies under these conditions. And to what extent, after everything that happened, does he have the right to work at the Bolshoi? This is a question...
Is it known who made him a pass for classes and rehearsals in the classes of the Bolshoi Theater? And is the theater management aware of this?
I don’t know, I didn’t ask, and it’s hardly appropriate ... Anyone could make a pass for him. He has been taking classes in the theater for more than a month, and I have no doubt that the management knows about it.
- Did you see him in class?
He goes to the morning class with Vladimir Nikonov. If we talk about his form objectively, then now he is not, he has not put on weight ... But he has become more massive, or something, if I may say so, more pumped up, which, of course, is not very good for ballet. But I know that he is a stubborn person ... Even very stubborn ... Pasha knows how to achieve his goals, and he is quite capable of getting into the appropriate shape. And so everything is doing well in the classroom ... Out of the corner of my ear I heard and even saw on Facebook a photo from the performance (if it’s not a photoshop) that he even, and more recently, for the first time after imprisonment, went on stage and already danced Prince Siegfried in Swan Lake with some kind of entreprise, or maybe in a concert. That is, a person really wants to return to the profession.
How did you react to his arrival? Indeed, after the attack, the troupe was divided in this regard, some condemned him, but the majority did not believe in his guilt and signed the corresponding letters in his defense ... What is the situation now?
Everyone calmly reacted to this, benevolently ... Many, of course, when they saw him for the first time after a long absence, could not hide their surprise. I know that for some time he himself was afraid to come to the theater ... Even in the summer before the end of last season, he came to the service entrance several times, met with friends, but did not go to the theater itself, because he was worried about how the team would meet him. And he was pleasantly surprised by the friendly attitude towards him. There is absolutely nothing negative about him. Maybe a few did not take it too well ... But I don’t even know such people ...
Nevertheless, we talked with the ill-wisher:
Yes, I went to classes, came, they say, in a new Mercedes. But they haven't seen him for a week already... Urin gave him a pass for 2 or 3 months. Without the director's order for such long time You just can't get a pass. Ignorant people think that he did his time and is clean before society. But let me remind you that he did not repent of anything and was released only on parole, that is, he will remain under observation for the next 3 years. So with dancing on the stage of the Bolshoi - all this is a hopeless undertaking. He himself, probably, in general, understands this. At least in the theater, his claims to dancing are not taken seriously.
Cautious in his predictions about the dance future of Pavel Dmitricheko on the stage of the Bolshoi and the general director Vladimir Urin himself. In an interview with Dancing Times, he said: “There are rumors that Pavel Dmitrichenko is returning to the Bolshoi, and this will not be an easy situation. However, after 3 years in prison, he is no longer the same dancer, physically and emotionally. Therefore, the main question is whether he will be able to return the form that is necessary for the dancer of the Bolshoi? Big is work, and it should be built on professional principles.”
The Labor Code offers all Russians a legal way to resolve any labor conflicts ─ contacting a representative organization at the place of work, considering the issue at the labor dispute commission, and then going to court. Quite civilized, but Russia is a special country. The "black" spirit hovers and permeates the consciousness of even people who are far from crime, influencing their decisions and actions.
In January 2013, a shocking crime took place in the capital. In the evening, acid was thrown in the face of the artistic director of the State Academic Bolshoi Theater, Sergei Filin, near his house. The injuries inflicted were not fatal, but the victim received a serious chemical burn of the retina.
The police, who began to unravel the case, turned out to have a variety of versions ─ from hooliganism to personal revenge on domestic grounds. As it turned out, the usual production conflict was to blame. Artists of the Bolshoi Theater are also employees, and labor disputes do not bypass them. Only in this case, the eccentricity of the participants and the background of creative differences intervened in his decision.
Less than 2 months later, a police squad arrived at the apartment of the ballet dancer of the Bolshoi Theater Pavel Dmitrichenko, where they searched and arrested the owner, escorting him to a pre-trial detention center. He was charged with organizing a landmark crime.
Pavel Dmitrichenko is a hereditary dancer. His parents worked for the State academic ensemble folk dance under the direction of Igor Moiseev. He absorbed the rules of life and behavior in an artistic environment with his mother's milk, but, as an adult, he preferred a different way of solving problems in relationships with leaders. However, the problems arose not from himself, but from his civil wife young ballerina Angelina Vorontsova.
Before joining the Bolshoi Theater troupe, Pavel Dmitrichenko went through a completely standard path for a ballet dancer ─ training at the Moscow Academy of Choreography. He appeared at the Bolshoi Theater in 2002 and became one of the most promising artists. In 2004, Dmitrichenko received a diploma from the International Ballet Competition in Rome. He danced parts in classical ballet performances " Swan Lake”, “Romeo and Juliet”, “Spartacus”. The brightest page of it creative biography became the main role in the play "Ivan the Terrible" resumed after a long break.
While still in his first year at the academy, he married a graduate of the same educational institution Olga Klypina. A successful start to an artistic career invariably arouses envy among colleagues who have not known such a bright start. However, an evil whisper has always been inherent creative environment. Spiteful critics complained about the help that relatives of his wife, a ballerina, who were quite authoritative and influential people in the Bolshoi Theater, could provide to his promotion. In any case, of course, the nature of Pavel Dmitrichenko did not deprive Pavel Dmitrichenko of talent and diligence. Not confining himself to one job on stage, the young man tried himself outside the walls of the Bolshoi Theater in business and did not refuse social work.
He traded stocks on the stock exchange, organized an online store selling nutritional supplements, special creams and accessories for "ballet dancers", opened a beauty salon. He also worked on the catwalk as a model. Despite his youth, the more experienced theater artists entrusted him with the management of the dacha cooperative, in which they had plots cut, appointing him chairman. Pavel Dmitrichenko has clearly proven himself to be a very active person.
A fateful meeting took place within the walls of the theater, which changed its fate so drastically. The young ballerina Angelina Vorontsova was accepted into the ballet troupe. First of all, he ordered his marriage to Olga Klypina to live long. Pavel Dmitrichenko and Anzhelina Vorontsova preferred not to officially register their union, but they did not hide their close relationship from anyone.
The ballerina from Voronezh owed her appearance in the Bolshoi Theater to artistic director Sergei Filin, who invited her to Moscow. Soon the list of Vorontsova's roles in ballet performances reached the unlucky number 13 and stalled. The spirit of competition has always hovered over Bolshoi Theater, previously leading only to creative conflicts that split artists into warring camps. Angelina Vorontsova was considered a pupil of Nikolai Tsiskaridze, who at one time claimed the role of artistic director ballet troupe Bolshoi Theater, but the then director of the Bolshoi Theater judged differently. He invited Sergei Filin to the theater and instructed him to deal with the ballet part.
Tsiskaridze and Filin are well acquainted. Previously, they were never seen in a hostile relationship with each other. In any case, in public, but the decision of the theater administration led to the fact that supporters and opponents of both giants of the ballet scene appeared in the troupe. Pavel Dmitrichenko and Anzhelina Vorontsova ended up in the Tsiskaridze camp.
In 2012, while on tour in Italy, Angelina gave an interview to the British Time magazine. In it, she complained about hard life talent within the walls of the Bolshoi Theater ─ tiny wage, exhausting tours, heavy behind-the-scenes struggle with the "prima" for the main roles. Maya Plisetskaya described something similar in her memoirs, recalling life at the Bolshoi Theater in the 50s. Nothing has changed. Time seemed to freeze. The same conversations were conducted by Vorontsova at home in the kitchen. Only instead of journalists, Pavel Dmitrichenko listened to her attentively. He was prompted to take decisive action by another refusal of the administration to provide Vorontsova leading role in the ballet La Bayadère. Dmitrichenko decided to eliminate the unfair attitude towards his girlfriend in a radical way.
His dacha neighbor was the previously convicted Yuri Zarutsky. It was he who undertook to eliminate for a long time, but not forever, Sergei Filin. As a weapon of retaliation, Zarutsky chose an electrolyte for batteries. For his participation in the action, he asked the ballet dancer for $1,500. He was driven to the place of meeting with the victim by his acquaintance Andrey Lipatov, who earns his living as a "cart driver". Dmitrichenko paid for the trip to the driver with smoking mixtures, for which he borrowed 3,000 rubles from one of his colleagues. The investigators did not have to work and time to quickly unravel the entire chain. The organizer and all participants in the attack were in their hands.
Sentence to Pavel Dmitrichenko
Pavel Dmitrichenko and his accomplices did not bother to agree among themselves on their actions in case of failure. Already at the trial, taught by lawyers, they tried to change their testimony, but the attempt was unsuccessful. The court did not believe them. Pavel Dmitrichenko did not admit guilt in organizing the attack on Sergei Filin, which caused serious harm to his health. According to him, he told his friend a lot about the "lawlessness" perpetrated by the administration of the Bolshoi Theater ─ abuse of grants, "kickbacks" from the leading actors and other acts of corruption committed by Filin. Brought up on "concepts", Zarutsky, on his own initiative, offered to "bang" the presumptuous ballet administrator. Dmitrichenko didn't mind.
The prosecutor's office asked the court for 9 years in prison for him. The Tagansky District Court issued a verdict - 6 years of strict regime. In March 2014, the Moscow City Court "knocked off" former artist ballet 6 months. After the guilty verdict was passed, he was fired from the theater. Pavel Dmitrichenko served his sentence in a colony Ryazan region. In May 2016, he walked out of her gate while on parole. It would seem that the story ended there, but ...
Pavel Dmitrichenko - latest news
Fate separated all the participants in the conflict on different sides. Moreover, leaving them a chance to get together again in the Bolshoi Theater. Theater director Vladimir Urin allowed the surname of Pavel Dmitrichenko to appear in the list of troupe artists only after the standard competitive selection. former star ballet, after his release, he quickly gained the required form, stubbornly studying at the barre. He, as a guest artist, was even given the opportunity to dance on stage once.
Sergey Filin was treated abroad for a long time, underwent a lot of operations. He never fully regained his sight. The administration of the Bolshoi Theater represented by the new director Vladimir Urin did not renew the contract with him. In 2016 he became artistic director Youth Program Bolshoi Theatre. After the assassination attempt on Filin, ballerina Anzhelina Vorontsova moved to St. Petersburg in the summer of 2013, where she began rehearsals at the Mikhailovsky Theater. Her career and personal life have developed quite successfully. She is regularly given leading roles. She married conductor Mikhail Tatarinov.
Pavel Dmitrichenko nevertheless turned out to be closer to the Bolshoi Theater than all the participants in the past conflict. This summer, the theater artists elected him chairman of their primary trade union organization. This is not his first appearance in the person of the head of the representative body of creative workers of the Bolshoi Theater. While he was in jail in the spring of 2013, colleagues from the ballet troupe also elected him as their trade union leader, giving him a mandate of their confidence. Until now, many colleagues consider the charges of organizing the attack to be falsified and Dmitrichenko was innocently convicted.
The conflict between the artists and the administration actually existed. Determination ballet avenger was highly appreciated by the team. They considered it a reliable way to counter the actions of the leadership. Then Dmitrichenko prevented him from exercising his powers prison term. Today he is given a chance to truly prove himself in the public arena. There have been quite a few problems. Opera company dissatisfied with the policy of the administration, constantly inviting performers from outside, thereby leaving the artists who are in the state without work and a salary worthy of their talents. Pavel Dmitrichenko is confident that he is able to resolve this conflict. Everyone hopes that this time he will find a way proposed by the Labor Code.
According to the ex-artist of the theater, the ballerinas of the troupe were forced to provide escort services. At the same time, news appeared about the Bolshoi's soloist, Pavel Dmitrichenko, who was sitting: the artists chose him as their leader - the head of the trade union
Artists of the Bolshoi Theater have chosen as the leader of their trade union the arrested Pavel Dmitrichenko, whom the investigation considers the organizer of the attack on artistic director Sergei Filin. This was stated by the soloist of the Bolshoi Theater Nikolai Tsiskaridze in the program "Iron Ladies" on NTV.
The theater administration clarified that this happened a few months ago and had nothing to do with the attack on artistic director Filin and the subsequent arrest of Dmitrichenko.
Here's what she said Business FM head of the press service of the Bolshoi Theater Ekaterina Novikova: “This event took place and such a decision was made by the trade union of the Bolshoi Theater, only it was made a few months before the situation that excited everyone, and before those tragic events that happened to Sergei Filin. It was caused by the fact that Filin, being the artistic director of the Bolshoi Ballet, cannot legally combine this position with the head of the trade union organization. Now, at the time that Pavel is under investigation, some acting person has been chosen for this position, but I still don’t know who either.”
At the same time, according to Tsiskaridze, the artistic director of the theater, Sergei Filin, constantly provoked conflicts with the theater staff: “Sergey and Pavel had a lot of conflicts. These conflicts were in full view of the entire troupe. During the run they spoke in raised tones. Basically, all these conflicts came down exclusively to the injustices that Sergey allowed himself in relation to the artists. The fact is that Pavel has been a trade union leader for many years, despite the fact that Sergei heads the trade union. As a team leader, he heads the trade union. For two years, the artists of the Bolshoi Theater have been fighting to cancel this. They didn't give it to us every time. And a week ago there was a trade union meeting, which was attended by both ballet dancers and choir artists, and all unanimously chose Pavel, who is under investigation. Because they wanted these two years.”
According to Tsiskaridze, when Dmitrichenko was shown on television after his arrest, “he was with huge bruises under his eyes, and the artists who saw him the day before believe that a person could not have changed so much in one day.”
Sergey Filin himself said that there were no conflicts, but he was threatened by the dancer Pavel Dmitrichenko, whom the investigation considers the organizer of the attack. The artistic director told this in an interview with the Rossiya TV channel: “There has never been any conflict that would have been openly and clearly expressed on my part against Pavel Dmitrichenko. And there was never any hostility on my part to Dmitrichenko either. But, apparently, someone worked very well on it, and someone pushed for it. Because every time, every moment, every meeting with Pavel Dmitrichenko for me was another threat, another demonstration of hostility, and I don’t want to hide it now, because it was just like that.
Ballerinas of the Bolshoi could be forced to escort
famous ballerina, former soloist Bolshoi Theater Anastasia Volochkova, in an interview with NTV, accused the leadership of the Bolshoi Theater that the administration was forcing the artists of the troupe to provide escort services: “Girls called me when I was already fired, and they told me simply monstrous things. It was then - 10 years ago it all began. Now everything is much worse. The administrator simply invites girls according to the list and explains to each that you are going to this party, to a banquet, with a continuation, with a bed, with certain oligarchs, with people who are - someone is a member of the board of trustees, someone is a person who is just got into this group. Parties where Iksanov, Shvydkoy and the oligarchs organized. If they went to Paris, then they did not organize in a nightclub, but filmed Versailles. And the girls, when they asked the administrator a question, “what if we don’t agree”? The answer was this - "then you will have problems at the Bolshoi Theater."
The Bolshoi Theater replied that they would advise their artists on how to protect their honor and dignity, hinting at possible lawsuits against Volochkova. According to Izvestia, artistic director Big Sergey Filin, at the very first interrogation, called Tsiskaridze a possible organizer of the attack and stated that he was blackmailing him.
