dirac Posted February 27, 2022 Author Share Posted February 27, 2022 An account of Nureyev's defection as told to Norman Lebrecht for Slipped Disc. Quote She [Clara Saint] then walks slowly towards Olivier, almost in tears, but confident that Rudi will be as brave as her. She gets near Olivier; they give the impression they are leaving, wave good-bye to Rudolf. Keeping his wits about him, Rudolf waits a few moments, so the minders won’t suspect anything; in a split second he does what Clara told him. He digs his elbows into both minders and dashes into the police office. The agent on duty informs him very coolly: “It is official policy in cases like yours to leave you for half an hour in a closed room to think, entirely on your own, and decide if you really want to defect and stay in the West”.
