  • MediaDB / «Maya Plisetskaya. Five days with a legend. Documentary history" Vadim Vernik: download fb2, read online

    About the book: 2024 / In 1996, journalist and TV presenter Vadim Vernik made a documentary about Maya Plisetskaya "Maya. Classical dance lesson" (in the television series "Saturday Evening with a Star"). Filming took place in the small Finnish town of Mikkeli, and over the course of five days Wernick was lucky enough to communicate a lot with the great ballerina. And years later, the idea arose to make a book based on these conversations, especially since most of the materials were not included in the film due to limited timing. This book is the author’s attempt to show Maya Plisetskaya “with her own eyes,” to draw a portrait without posing and all sorts of myths around her name. Rodion Shchedrin, Bella Akhmadulina, Boris Messerer, Plisetskaya's stage partners Nikolai Fadeyechev, Alexander Bogatyrev, Patrick Dupont, Vladimir Levashev took part in the filming of the film. They also became the heroes of the book. The publishing layout of the book was saved in PDF A4 format.
