Swanilda8 Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 I'm working on a presentation right now about Ulanova and her relationship to Soviet feminism/ideas about women during the mid-century in Russia. This is partly because I think her roles and her public persona are both endlessly fascinating. To that end, I have a somewhat small question about her for my presentation. How many times was she married and to whom? I know she was married to Bolshoi lead designer Vadim Rindin during the Bolshoi's tours to the US. I've read a somewhat catty American newspaper article that suggests she was married 4 times. But this is during a period of American press when people are saying anything and everything about the Bolshoi, especially Ulanova, so it might just be gossip (vicious gossip since many of the newspaper reporters seemed antagonistic to Ulanova, who was relatively distant in her interactions with them). I've never seen any other indications that she was married more than once, but books about her tend not to mention her personal life at all. Does anyone know the truth of this statement? I feel almost embarrassed to be asking this question, since there are so many more interesting things about Ulanova. I'd be equally happy if this discussion just moved on to talking about how wonderful her dancing was. Link to comment
rg Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 i can't answer your question, but i've sent around a few emails to colleagues who might have answers. in the meanwhile, here's a U.S. paper's newsphoto from '59 w/ Ulanova and Rindin (also spelt as below acc'd to NYPL cat. entry). the newspaper caption here is perhaps off, i can find no ref. to a ballet of WAR AND PEACE so perhaps Rindin was responsible for designing the opera? NYPL listing: Ryndin, V. F. (Vadim Fedorovich), 1902-1974 Link to comment
rg Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 a colleague and historian from Moscow has written to say that Galina Sergeyevna was "connected" to three different men before she married Ryndin, but could not confirm that she was actually married to any of them other than Ryndin.

Swanilda8 Posted October 17, 2013 Author Share Posted October 17, 2013 Thank you so much! This is so helpful, and the picture is excellent. Link to comment
rg Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 another former Moscow resident and balletgoer writes to say that to the best of his understanding Galina Sergeyevna was perhaps married, first? to a pianist from the Mariinsky, perhaps in her student days, then to a theater director, followed by an individual who was an actor and a director, all before being married, one assumes, to designer, Ryndin. (as indicated above not that much factual has been published about G.S.U.'s private life.) Link to comment
