Bolshoi Dancer

The Kiev State Ballet School has refused to accept money raised by Moscow's Bolshoi Theatre after it emerged the star dancer at a charity gala had supported the annexation of Crimea.

A Bolshoi star dancer and two other men on Tuesday were convicted in an acid attack on the ballet's director that exposed vicious backstage bickering and intrigue at the renowned theater.

A Bolshoi Ballet dancer accused of organising an attack that nearly blinded the Russian theatre's artistic director said in court on Thursday that he did not intend for the victim to be splashed with acid.

A leading Bolshoi Ballet soloist and two other detained suspects have confessed to their involvement in the acid attack on the artistic director of world famous dance company Sergei Filin, Moscow police said on Wednesday.

The Bolshoi ballet's artistic director underwent successful plastic surgery on Tuesday following a horrific acid attack that left the former dancer barely able to see the fingers on his hand.
