	How good is the Kirov? by Laura Jacobs (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The company that is today called The Kirov Ballet of the Mariinsky Theatre—still Dickensian in its selection standards; still trained within the meticulous, luminous rounds of Vaganova technique; still a constellation of coaches pushing, pulling, their protegés to the top —she is always there, like Everest.
		When the Kirov brought an all-Diaghilev bill to New York in 1995—an evening of Firebirds and Golden Slaves, velvet pillows and beaded bras—the company seemed to be at sea in the exotic, all slinky navels and snaky limbs.
		Kirov history, its theatrical values, its pride of place and placement—that Vaganova upper body which rounds out of the pelvic bowl to make the torso, head, and arms a sphere of infinite poesy—this was something to embrace.

	The Kirov Murder: Part I
		Kirov actually rejected the idea of him replacing Stalin, declaring that it “would signify putting in question the whole policy of the party.” Kirov, according to Mikoyan’s memoirs, also “told Stalin” about this plotting, “and was met with hostility and a will to revenge against the whole Congress and, of course, Kirov personally.”
		Stalin recognised that Kirov was not his sole adversary, but also the inspiration and symbol for many others, such as those who had publicly applauded Stalin at the Congress and then secretly voted against him.
		By killing Kirov, Stalin would not only be able to eliminate an increasingly threatening rival, but would also be able to use it as a pretext to purge all potential sources of opposition within, and also without, the Party.

	CriticalDance :: View topic - Kirov in the USA, 2003 - Fokine Program
		Smuin may not be offering anything classical, but, like the Kirov's kitschy, fright-wig-laden production of "Firebird," and the skin show that is their "Scheherazade," he knows the value of costumes and sex, and he knows how to work a stage.
		The Kirov Ballet's program of classic ballets by Mikhail Fokine at the Orange County Performing Arts Center Tuesday was glorious spectacle, a rainbow melange of artistic layers both obvious and subtle.
		I noticed that several of the women dancers would lean forward before they jumped and then jerk their torsos back at the top of the jump, but Zhelonkina's carried her torso beautifully, and her jetes were high and very light.

	SignOnSanDiego.com > News > Features -- Kirov Ballet artfully steps into 20th century
		That is not a slight; the Kirov's 19th-century ballets are among the marvels of classical art, and no ballet company has yet succeeded in building an all-21st century roster of dances.
		But judging from the Kirov's reconstructions of three Fokine masterpieces from the early 20th century, seen this week with the glorious Kirov Orchestra at Segerstrom Hall, and advance reports of the company's version of Balanchine's "Jewels," which is scheduled for this weekend, the move to embrace the last century's reform-minded masters is a good one.
		The wonder is that almost 100 years later, the Kirov's version retains both an erotic charge and a genuine dramatic pulse, despite the whiff of kitsch that scents the proceedings.

		A few hours after Kirov died, the government instructed the NKVD, “to speed up the cases of those accused of the preparation or execution of acts of terror,” and “to execute” those found guilty “immediately,” as there was to be no “possibility of pardon.”
