1986. The Kirov. AA just started dancing Nikiya. Vinogradov used any possibility to give AA a chance to show her talent and make her feel confident.He was really proud of her. I remember each of her Nikiya. Those were most exciting moments in my life. She was just from another world. But I must say there were a lot of skeptics who did not believe AA would win. I think they just did not feel poetry and beauty in AA art. By the way, I am not sure that AA likes the film. But as a ballet fan I can not but admire all her ballet scenes in it.
