Rudolf Nureyev
Rudolf Khametovich Nureyev was a Soviet ballet dancer and choreographer. Nureyev is considered by some to be the greatest male ballet dancer of his generation. Nureyev was born on a trans-Siberian train near Irkutsk, Siberia, Soviet Union into a family of Bashkir-Tatar. He began his career in the company that in the Soviet era was known as the Leningrad Kirov Ballet. He left the Soviet Union for the West in 1961, despite the KGB's efforts to stop him. This was the first defection by a Soviet artist during the Cold War, and it created an international uproar. He continued to dance with the Royal Ballet Theater in London and from 1983 to 1989 was director of the Paris Opera. Besides his technical prowess, Nureyev is also an accomplished choreographer as the principal choreographer of the Paris Opera.
