«L'Histoire secrète des ballets russes» is the historical essay by Vladimir Fédorovski, published by Editions Du Rocher in paperback (219 pages in French).
Vladimir Fédorovski links the history of the Ballets Russes with figures such as Nicholas II, Stalin, Picasso, Cocteau and Stravinsky. He recounts love affairs with ballerinas that changed destinies —the tsar and Matilda Kschessinska, Picasso and Olga Khokhlova— and KGB espionage, with testimonies from Nureyev and Chagall, from the company's arrival in Paris around 1909.
This essay was originally published in 2002 and the edition includes bibliographic references (pages 213-216).
Intended for readers interested in European cultural history, ballet and the artistic avant-gardes of the twentieth century.
Russian diplomat and politician, then French writer and historian
