Strangely, I get a strong feeling it might not be the school itself that created the page. I know Google Translate isn't perfect, but is it likely that an institution's official page would link to articles strongly critical of new leadership? [Admin note: Anyone can create a Facebook page and call it what they like. Until there is a statement from the school that the new site calling itself "Vaganova Academy" and created in the last 24 hours is, indeed, an official page of the Vaganova Academy, links to it and info from it are unofficial sources and will be removed.]

The only volume that I would speak about her in the US is one of great affection, whereas it is clear that you do not. And before you question if I speak from experience of her or not, I do.

Really though, it could all just be in his head somewhere. Kolpakova is wonderful, but she is 80 years old; who knows if she would even want either of those jobs?

Sacre bleu...
