Daily News… TOP BOLSHOI BALLERINA ‘FLEES RUSSIA’ AFTER THREATS One of the Bolshoi ballet’s best known ballerinas has fled Russia for Canada after receiving threats, it emerged Tuesday, as the chief of the troubled company prepared to leave for Germany to receive treatment for wounds sustained in an acid attack. Svetlana Lunkina told the Izvestia daily she had taken leave from the theatre until the end of the season over troubles stemming from a business dispute over a film in which her husband was involved. Izvestia said she had already been outside Russia for some six months and that there is no clear link between her problems and the acid attack this month on the Bolshoi ballet’s artistic director Sergei Filin. Nevertheless, the flight from Russia of such a high-profile figure underlines the tense atmosphere at the Bolshoi after the attack on Filin which the management has blamed on internal conflicts. «I think we need to react to these threats. These people have no right to interfere in our private lives or my professional work,» Lunkina told Izvestia without making clear the nature of the threats. Lunkina, who has danced with the Bolshoi since 1997, is one of the company’s most experienced stars and was due this year to appear in a new work by the British choreographer Wayne McGregor. «I was supposed to be doing a lot of interesting work, including several premieres,» she said. Having wowed the public in the Bolshoi’s landmark 2011 staging of McGregor’s «Chroma», Lunkina was expected to take a leading role in his eagerly anticipated new version of the «Rite of Spring» at the Bolshoi this year. Her prolonged disappearance from the Bolshoi stage had already puzzled fans who initially suspected she had suffered an injury before rumours spread that she was no longer in Russia. Lunkina said the threats were linked to a film project that her husband, the producer Vladislav Moskalyev, had been working on featuring the great Russian imperial ballerina Matilda Kshesinskaya.

International News… DREADLOCKS’S THIEVES A Zimbabwean man was recently robbed of his dreadlocks at a South African night club to feed a growing demand for human hair extensions, a local paper reported Tuesday. The Times said Mutsa Madonko had his long locks that he has grown for 10 years, cut off while partying at a Johannesburg club. Natural dreadlocks are sold as hair extensions for anything between 200 rand ($22, 16 euro) and 2,500 rand ($204, 278 euro) depending on the length, said The Times. The extensions are weaved into clients’ own hair. They are worn by both men and women.
ZIMBABWE HAS $217 IN THE BANK After paying public workers’ salaries last week, the balance in cash-strapped Zimbabwe’s government public account stood at just $217. «Last week when we paid civil servants there was $217 (left) in government coffers,» Finance Minister Tendai Biti told journalists in the capital Harare, claiming some of them had healthier bank balances than the state. «The government finances are in paralysis state at the present moment. We are failing to meet our targets.» Zimbabwe’s economy went into free-fall at the turn of the millennium, after President Robert Mugabe began seizing white-owned farms.
