On June 16, 1961, the famous Soviet dancer Rudolf Nureyev escaped to the West, refusing to return from his Paris tour of the USSR. After learning about Nureyev's escape, Khrushchev dreamed of one thing: to demand the repatriation of the fugitive and punish him ...
Nureyev never regretted his decision. For more than twenty years, he performed on the stages of the world's greatest theaters about three hundred times a year. He was called "The Genghis Khan of Ballet" and "The Frantic." Everyone's infatuation with Rudolf Nureyev was described as "rudimania," and his fortune amounted to millions of dollars. A legend has been created about his hot temper, selfishness, greed, and boundless love for people. Obsessed with perpetual motion, he lived avidly and spent without counting time, strength, talent, feelings. But he did not know what terrible price he would pay for his insatiability.
