Small earthquake in the world of dance. The internationally renowned dancer, Serghei Polunin, famous for his tattoos and in particular that of Russian President Vladimir Putin on his chest, announced his intention to leave Russia with his wife Yelena and children. The dancing star had supported Russia’s 2014 annexation of Crimea and the military offensive in Ukraine and was rewarded with prestigious state posts.
“The soul is out of place. – wrote the dancer – Thank you for everything Russia has done for me. The time comes and the soul does not feel where it should be. My time in Russia is long gone, as if at this moment I have completed my mission here. Russia has become my home for many years, I have received great help. They have helped me create many amazing works. They gave me everything I needed and more. Thanks to the public for the support, thanks to everyone who worked with me and helped. And most importantly, I met Elena and we played a wedding in Russia and our youngest son Era was born here”
And finally: “Russia has a very kind, very humane people. It is not yet clear where we will eat and I only hope that the soul is calm and in its place. the family was happy and interesting. Treat each other with love. People deserve to be loved. I’m sorry for what I could or couldn’t do, but I’ll get better. But now I have a long way to go along another unknown path.”
Words that naturally worried fans and left the way open to elusive hypotheses and reconstructions.
