About the book: 2020 / What do we know about ballet? Stage lights, ballet tutus, pointe shoes, lightness, airiness, beauty... Yulia Yakovleva will show us ballet (and not just ballet, but ballet at the Bolshoi) as it is behind the scenes. Hard work, sweat, calluses, intrigue. But all this is not the main thing here. All this is only woven into an even more interesting intrigue. It will be possible to find out how the ballet “Sapphires” is connected with African diamonds, which are mined for the Russian oligarch in African mines under the protection of PMCs, only because a woman and a child will enter the Bolshoi Theater building, and only the child will be able to leave.
