Thus, Maya Plisetskaya really became the greatest ballet dancer of her epoch. nonetheless, it seems to be that it was not simply her love to art but it is rather her personal revenge to the Soviet regime which her challenged even in her dance and performance changing traditional norms accepted in the Bolshoi Theatre, the citadel of the Soviet ballet: “the cool, rational, classical style of the Bolshoi, which reigns there to this day, was shaken with her Latin sensuality” (Finn 23). In this respect, it is very symbolic that eventually she was named prima ballerina assoluta of the Bolshoi that was quite important for her as a ‘revolutionary’ and dissident from art. Even though she had never openly revealed this fact but it seems that her entire life is a counteraction on the repressions and discrimination she and her family suffered from in the USSR.
