Baletul în rusia sovietică – reforme, cenzură, tradiție
Ballet during Soviet Russia- Reforms, Censorship, Tradition

Summary/Abstract: When the Soviets took power, each field was changed to suit the new political ideology. Only one was protected by tradition: the Russian ballet. This article focuses on the historical continuity of the classical ballet and all its aspects that adjusted to fit the new social, political, economic, and cultural context. How had this art come to embody political ideas? How did Bolshevism shape the Russian ballet? This article exposes both the splendor and the corruption that the Russian cultural institutions have created starting from the twentieth century until now.
