hedda So very sad.

I've often wondered how Rudolf Nureyev would have fared in the current Russian atmosphere.

I believe very early on he made an agreement with the then Russian government to never criticize Russia in return for them leaving his family alone.
Jo Russian ballet star Vladimir Shklyarov dies at 39

From his Wikipedia page:

In March 2022, after the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Shklyarov posted on social media in support of peace, “I am against any warfare!… I want neither wars nor borders.”[5][6]
Full quote from footnote 5 (Dance Australia: Update: Russian artists and the invasion of Ukraine):

vladimir_shklyarov F R I N D ! I am against any warfare! I am for the people, for the peaceful sky above the head! Politicians should be able to negotiate without shooting and killing civilians, for this they are given a tongue and a head! My grandfather, Anatoly Filimonovich, graduated from school in Ukraine with a gold medal, great-grandmother Sonya actually lived all her life in Kiev! It is impossible to look at everything that is happening today without crying… 'I wanna dance… I want to love everyone - that’s my goal in life… I want neither wars nor borders #[Russian text] #[Russian text] #stopwar
