To commemorate the centennial of the awesome Galina Ulianova, a one-week forum is taking place in the Siberian city of Krasnoyarsk. There's also a professional all-Russian ballet contest for forty young artists. OC is quite intrigued by the revival of the ballet “The Red Poppy” by Reingold Glière -- communist flowers in the sky ftw.
