Marc Haegemann has added two photo galleries to his site, For Ballet Lovers Only:

Natalia Osipova of the Bolshoi Ballet

Svetlana Zakharova in Yuri Possokhov's Cinderella

Click on the thumbnails for a full view.

The site also contains interviews and other written materials, as well as archival photo galleries, by company (link at the top of the home page) and dancer, with biographies and/or rep for many of the dancers, and a historical section of photographs, bios, and repertory.

I was in Russia in Sept. and went to Bolshoi Ballet, thinking I'd find a summer-replacement cast.  Instead I saw Swan Lake starring Zakharova, and Osipova in one of the "national" roles in which she dazzled.  A truly memorable moment, and I am pleased that Osipova continues to receive accolades.
