Goldfish17 Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 HOW SAD I saw her in Bolshoi Theater - in Nutcracker and in Anjuta. It was absolutely magical! She was truly noble ballerina. My sincere condolences to her mother and to her husband. Ekaterina, rest in peace. Link to comment
Rosa Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 A series of photos from Maximova's funeral is at Yahoo news. http://news.yahoo.com/nphotos/Famed-Bolsho...b335b349434b868 Link to comment
Lidewij Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 There is also something on youtube about her funeral: Link to comment
dirac Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 There don’t seem to have been any updates regarding the cause of death, which was not reported. I do recall reading years ago an article that said Maximova had once attempted suicide. I hope that did not happen here. (Not intended to encourage speculation, please note, just a comment.) Lovely dancer. Rest in peace. Link to comment

MakarovaFan Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Does anyone know if it's possible to send notes of condolence to Vladimir Vasiliev? Can it be done care of The Bolshoi? Link to comment
carbro Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 I assume the Bolshoi would see that people's notes reached V V. Link to comment
Helene Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 There was a short obituary for Maximova in the July 2009 (print) edition of Opera News, noting that "Maximova was one of the Bolshoi stars who danced in the last program presented at the old Metropolitan Opera House on Thirty-ninth Street and Broadway."

rg Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 this undated press photo from the UK notes in some captioning on the back that it was run as in advance of the Bolshoi Ballet's appearances at the London Coliseum for a 6-week season. perhaps UK BT members can thus date the photo. the dancers deplaning are led by Maksimova, with, i assume, V. Vasliev behind her and perhaps B. Akimov in lighter color suit behind Vasliev. Link to comment
cubanmiamiboy Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 Great pic...! (Notice the old Aeroflot logo on the left upper side. The next text is from Wikipedia) "Plans were afoot to replace the old Soviet-era hammer and sickle logo, which some people in the West treat as a reminder of Soviet communism. However, as it was for over 70 years the most recognisable symbol of the company, the logo was, in the end, retained". Link to comment
Mashinka Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 I imagine the picture was taken in the summer of 1974. Link to comment
