GREAT PERFORMANCES | Nureyev: The Russian Years | PBS

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

I'm currently reading the novel "Dancer" based on his life, by Colum McCallum. It's a fantastic read

Beyond compare... I'm speechless

SO effing magnificent...he takes my breath away....still!

cheeky winker :28

Nureyev was really gay??? or half..??

He started in the Soviet Union and it's a soviet school. There were no "Russia" or "Tatar" that time.

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.
