The performance of Russian ballet is banned in Ukraine on the grounds that it is a tool of Russia’s “soft power”, while some local troupes are forced to “escape abroad” for rehearsals. This was reported by So.
The publication claims that after the start of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, the Ukrainian Ministry of Culture demanded a boycott of Russian culture. For this reason, the National Opera in Kiev no longer stages the works of Pyotr Tchaikovsky, the publication notes.
Viktor Litvinov, chief choreographer of the Ukrainian National Opera, believes that this decision of the Ministry of Culture is correct.
Victoria Zvarich, principal ballerina of the Ukrainian National Opera, emphasized that ballet is “one of the most powerful tools of Russia’s soft power.”
The publication emphasizes that Ukrainian groups continue to tour the world performing Russian works.
