GREAT PERFORMANCES | Nureyev: The Russian Years | PBS

Probably the most famous Tatar in the history of our people.

I betcha..at the time...the pianist at 1:22 to 1:30 didn;t think much of what happened during that rehearsal...but later on...that was probably his most cherished memory and one of his best stories he would pass on to others...

Geistero -Communism cannot cut off the Great Overlordship ot the Tatars to whom many Russian Emperors paid homage, Nureyev's bloodline was Tatar just as my citizenship is British but I am a Scot descended from the Celtic poet warrior tribes

you, guys, are divided even on the south-londeners and norht-londeners and proud of that, however it's quite tragic for you. You don't know and don't understand the social and multi-cultural system in the Soviet Union. It has nothing to do with "communism". Tatar or Russian - no matter. Just soviet.

British, Scottish, Welsh, and Irish all belong in the same group. Russians and Tatars are two different ethnic groups. One is Slavic and the other is Turkic. East and West of Russia.

@Geistero do not kid yourself pal-it is you who does not understand the truth of the secret government which rules all countries. Russia has been invited into the European CM-Welcome to the New World Order. Look up 'Illuminati-Freemasons-Chithau ri/Serpent Race'. Obama is to stimulate war in Africa and this will draw in China and Russia. You can kiss your Russian ass ta ta.

Thank god, I saw him dance before he left our planet!

Beyond compare... I'm speechless
