Maris Liepa film by Nikita Tikhonov Episode: Crassus role in the ballet Spartacus, choreography by Yury Grigorovich, The Bolshoi Theater, 1968 Interviews: Mikhail Lavrov Andris Liepa Nikolay Tsiskaridze Maris Liepa occupied a special position in the Bolshoi Ballet Company. He had no forerunners (he was incidentally the first European to dance at the Bolshoi Theater), nor did he have any successors. In the course of a quarter of a century, there has been not one new Crassus capable of offering serious competition to Liepa's great anti-hero. Crassus - a peak of achievement, a moment of divine insight. Crassus has immortalized the name of Maris Liepa.

Russia is warning that Middle East crises would not be resolved as long as terrorists are used as pawns in geopolitical games. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov says Moscow’s initiative of a broad anti-terrorist front will be successful only if attempts to use terrorists as pawns are stopped. Meanwhile, his deputy Mikhail Bogdanov dismissed plans to set up a buffer zone in Syria. He added any attempt that could further worsen the Syria crisis greatly concerns Moscow. Bogdanov added that Russia will not hold talks on any alternatives to a ceasefire plan for the Arab nation. He said Moscow is concerned about claims of certain Western partners, including the United States, about the existence of a certain plan B.

Briefing session with permanent members of the Security Council Vladimir Putin discussed with meeting participants current issues of domestic and foreign policy and also heard a report from Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on the Normandy Four meeting at the level of foreign ministers held the day before in Paris. June 25, 2015 - 16:00 - The Kremlin, Moscow Source : http://en.kremlin.ru/events/president... Taking part in the meeting were Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, Chief of Staff of the Presidential Executive Office Sergei Ivanov, State Duma Speaker Sergei Naryshkin, Interior Minister Vladimir Kolokoltsev, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu, Federal Security Service Director Alexander Bortnikov, Foreign Intelligence Service Director Mikhail Fradkov, and permanent member of the Security Council Boris Gryzlov. * * * President of Russia Vladimir Putin: Good afternoon, colleagues, Mr Lavrov will tell us about the consultations in Paris. Let’s start with this. Please, Mr Lavrov. Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov: On the whole, it was not useless because even despite certain wrangling during the discussion, the main outcome was the acknowledgement of the fact that there is no alternative to complete fulfilment of the Minsk Agreements. First and foremost, the acknowledgement by our German and our French partners of the fact that the overwhelming part of the Minsk provisions should be implemented through direct dialogue between authorities in Kiev and Donetsk and Lugansk. I can’t say that we have resolved all the problems because this should be done directly by the Contact group and the working subgroups created. I will report on that in more detail later, but on the day of our meeting, a report on the taps [by the United States of the French leadership] was published, and this gave rise to unrest in France so this was another thing that distracted our attention. Vladimir Putin: How will this scandal end? Sergei Lavrov: Frankly speaking, I think that Germany’s example [the US special services wiretapping the German leadership] gives the answer: I think that both sides will try to blanket the scandal and forget about it. Vladimir Putin: That is what would happen.

The complete leaked report of the Arab League Observers Mission to Syria (pdf) http://www.columbia.edu/~hauben/Report_of_Arab_League_Obs... http://www.columbia.edu/~hauben/Report_of_Arab_League_Obs... Syria - Text of Leaked Arab League Mission Report: Report Reveals Media Lies Regarding Syria http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid...; ********************************************** The Arab League Observer Mission succeeded in providing a different perspective from that of the mainstream western media about what has been happening on the ground in Syria. After a resolution by the Arab League which was worked out in an agreement with the Syrian government, Observers from the League went to Syria and provided a means of investigating what was happening. The report of the Observers mission that was concluded on January 19, noted several important observations.(1) 1. The mission noted that there were false reports being made of explosions or violence and when the observers went to the location, they found that the reports were unfounded. 2. The mission found that media accounts were exaggerated about the nature of incidents or numbers of people killed in incidents and protests. 3. There were discrepancies in the lists the Mission received of people in detention. Names were repeated, or information was missing or inaccurate about detainees. 4. The Mission observed armed groups committing acts of violence against Government forces, resulting in the death and injury of the forces being attacked. Some of the armed groups were using flares and armour-piercing projectiles. 5. A French journalist who was killed and a Belgium journalist who was injured were the victims of opposition mortar shells. 6. The mission was the target of a hostile media campaign with media publishing untrue statements, distorting the truth, and attributing statements to the head of the mission which were never made. 7. Such accounts by the media undermined the work of the observer mission and seemed to be aimed toward making the mission fail. 8. The Observer mission was able to fulfill its mandate. The most important observation was as the Report stated, that it had "determined that there is an armed entity" that had not been mentioned in the protocol setting up the mission. http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid;=29023 http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid;=29023 .................................................. From Russia Today Lavrov in Damascus seeking hope for Syria Published: 07 February, 2012, 10:33 Edited: 07 February, 2012, 13:44 Syria could get another chance at a diplomatic escape route from its continuing political crisis as the Russian delegation has arrived on Tuesday to hold talks with President Assad. Syrian TV is showing huge crowds welcoming Russian FM Sergey Lavrov to Syria. People are waving Syrian and Russian flags. That is amid widespread international uproar caused by clashes at the UN Security Council, and swelling violence within Syria. The Russian delegation is aiming to get the two sides of the Syrian conflict to sit down at the negotiating table and talk. Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and Foreign Intelligence Chief Mikhail Fradkov head the delegation. Their positions by themselves serve as a powerful message to President Bashar Assad, calling for true democratic changes in the country. The speculation is that those changes may include the change of the regime in Syria, but ahead of his trip Sergey Lavrov stressed once again that asking a president of sovereign country to step down is not a Russian profession. http://rt.com/news/syria-lavrov-talks-damascus-657/ ...........................................................................................

Meanwhile, lawyers for an imprisoned security officer, Mikhail Trepashkin, said he may have key evidence in the case. They appealed to the British officers to collect testimony from him as soon as possible, saying his life is in danger. Alexander Litvinenko, 43, died on November 23 in London after ingesting radioactive polonium-210. In a deathbed accusation, he blamed Russian President Vladimir Putin for the poisoning. The Kremlin has vehemently denied the accusations. Trepashkin, who is serving a four-year sentence for revealing state secrets, reportedly said in a letter from prison that he had warned Litvinenko several years ago about a government-sponsored death squad that intended to kill him and other Kremlin opponents. "Mikhail Ivanovich Trepashkin says that he possesses some information, which could somehow shed new light on this murder," his lawyer Yelena Liptser told AP Television. "That's why he is looking for a chance to make it public." In letter texts released by his supporters, Trepashkin said an officer of the Federal Security Service, a KGB successor agency known by the acronym FSB, offered him a chance in 2002 to join a group targeting Litvinenko that he rejected. Trepashkin quoted the officer as saying that "Litvinenko won't escape Trotsky's ice pick," referring to the 1940 murder of Leon Trotsky by a Soviet agent in Mexico City. "We have been assured that we will be given that, and I'm sure we will be," Reid said.

Lavrov leaving after news conference STORYLINE: Russia's Foreign Minister criticised NATO on Tuesday after the alliance warned that its cooperation with Moscow would depend on the withdrawal of Russian troops from Georgia. Sergey Lavrov said NATO was pursuing anti-Russian policies and supporting an aggressive Georgia. Addressing a news conference in Moscow, Lavrov insisted Moscow was not occupying Georgia and had no plans to annex the separatist Georgian regions of South Ossetia and Abkhazia. "Russia hasn't occupied anyone, is not planning to occupy anyone, we don't have any plans to annex anyone's territory," he told reporters. He said Russia is "fulfilling, through our peacekeeping forces, those functions set out in the agreements signed by conflicting sides, including Georgia." He was referring to a past peace deal signed between Russia and Georgia, which mandated the presence of Russian peacekeepers as observers in South Ossetia. Lavrov was speaking to journalists shortly after top officials from NATO nations met in Brussels. They urged Russia to withdraw its forces after a brief conflict in Georgia and promised to boost support for Georgia's entry into NATO. Lavrov said, however, that Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili was "dictating to the democratically developed countries, including NATO countries, what they must do in order to satisfy his ambitions." Lavrov also said he agreed with comments made by NATO Secretary-General Jaap de Hoop Scheffer, that there can be no business as usual between NATO and Russia. "And the fact that Mr Scheffer used the phrase about leaving the door open, we take this into account," Lavrov said. "We also take into account his statement that while Russia is still occupying Georgia, the NATO-Russia Council cannot meet on any level," he added. De Hoop Scheffer said in Brussels that NATO had not immediately cancelled any specific meetings or programs under the NATO-Russia Council, but he said he "did not see the possibility" of such meetings unless Russian troops pull out of Georgia.

Mid of news conference 10. SOUNDBITE (Russian) Sergey Lavrov, Russian Foreign Minister: "The presence of foreign observers always has a restraining effect. And it is not clear why a string of Persian Gulf nations has pulled their representatives from the mission and why the mission had to be suspended right at the moment when the UN Security Council had to consider its report." 11. Wide of news conference STORYLINE: Russia's foreign minister said on Wednesday that Syrian President Bashar Assad wanted his vice president to hold talks with the opposition forces, as activists reported that dozens had died in government bombings of cities and villages across Syria. A day after holding talks with Assad in an emergency meeting in Damascus, Sergey Lavrov said the Syrian leader had "delegated the responsibility of holding such a dialogue to Vice President (Farouk) al-Sharaa." Lavrov was speaking after meeting his Pakistani counterpart Hina Rabbani Khar in Moscow. State news agency SANA said Syria was determined to hold a national dialogue with the opposition and independent figures, and that his government was "ready to cooperate with any effort that boosts stability in Syria." The Syrian opposition rejects any talks with the regime and says they accept nothing less than Assad's departure. Lavrov blamed both Assad's regime and opposition forces for instigating the violence that has killed thousands of people since March. He told journalists in Moscow that "on both sides there are people that aim at an armed confrontation, not a dialogue." His comments came as Syrian troops bombed residential neighbourhoods in the central city of Homs, the northern province of Idlib, southern region of Daraa and the mountain town of Zabadani, in what activists say is the regime's final push to retake areas controlled by the rebels. Russia and China blocked on Saturday a United Nations Security Council resolution supporting calls for Assad to hand over some powers as a way to defuse the 11-month-old crisis. Though increasingly ostracised internationally, the Syrian president was bolstered by Tuesday's visit from Lavrov and Russia's intelligence chief, Mikhail Fradkov. During the talks, the Russians had pushed for a solution to the Syrian crisis that would include reforms by the regime and a dialogue with the opposition - but not for Assad to step down.

Cutaway of photographer 6. SOUNDBITE: (Russian) Sergei Lavrov, Russian Foreign Minister: "We are not interfering in internal affairs of Georgia. We are not dictating to Georgian politicians how they should operate. We are not spending time explaining to them what needs them to be done. It is not our method." 7.

Because overwhelming majority of parliament completely agrees with the evaluation of the situation." 21. Wide of lawmakers applauding vote results STORYLINE Parliament voted on Friday to back Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili's state of emergency order, a move that will keep independent TV news off the air for up to 15 days and possibly stoke fresh criticism of the Georgian leader. Lawmakers voted 149-0 to back Saakashvili, who handed down the order late on Wednesday after riot police clashed with anti-government protesters in the worst political crisis he has faced since catapulting to power after the 2003 Rose Revolution mass protests. Opposition lawmakers in the 235-seat parliament boycotted Friday's vote, which came even as Saakashvili pledged to quickly lift the state of emergency. On Thursday, Saakashvili, who has faced criticism in the West and Russia after police forces forced independent TV channels off the air and attacked journalists, called for early presidential elections to be held January 5. However Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov insisted that Moscow had no intention of interfering in Georgia's internal affairs. "That is not our method," he told reporters.

SOUNDBITE: (Russian) Sergey Lavrov, Russian Foreign Minister: "The military assistance the United States extended to the Saakashvili regime did not appear to be a sufficient lever of US influence on the Georgian government, but, on the contrary, it encouraged the irresponsible and unpredictable regime and its movement along an adventuristic path. The spectre of the great game is haunting the Caucasus once again. If the United States and its allies in the end choose not their own national interests, not the interests of the Georgian people, but rather choose the Saakashvili regime, which has not learned anything, this will be a mistake of truly historic proportions." 5. Cutaway students 6. SOUNDBITE: (Russian) Sergey Lavrov, Russian Foreign Minister: "The current Georgian regime has revealed its essence by its intentions to bomb the population of South Ossetia into obedience of its diktat. Immediately after that, the same fate was prepared for Abkhazia. This did not happen, nor will happen. In order to save the region from the relapses of violence, Russia will continue to undertake measures on punishing those guilty so that this regime could never again be able to do evil. For a start it would be right to impose an embargo on arms deliveries to this regime, until different authorities turn Georgia into a normal state." 7. Cutaway students 87. SOUNDBITE: (Russian) Sergey Lavrov, Russian Foreign Minister "We shall talk to Washington until there is the slightest hope to understand each other and come to agreement. We shall not hide our intentions. We would like that in international affairs America take the path of change rather than stand in its way." 9. Wide shot faculty and students 10. Wide shot Lavrov leaving the podium STORYLINE: Russia warned the West on Monday against supporting Georgia's leadership and called for an arms embargo against the nation until a different government is in place in the ex-Soviet republic. Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov's remarks are likely to anger the United States and Europe and enrage Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili. He made it clear Moscow wants President Mikhail Saakashvili out of power in Georgia. "If the United States and its allies in the end choose not their own national interests, not the interests of the Georgian people, but rather choose the Saakashvili regime, it will be a mistake of historic proportions," Lavrov said. "It would be right to impose an embargo on weapons to this regime, until different authorities turn Georgia a normal state," he added. Lavrov was making a traditional speech at the Moscow Institute for International Relations, known as MGIMO University, which he graduated from in 1972. "We shall talk to Washington until there is the slightest hope to understand each other and come to agreement," Lavrov said. Lavrov spoke as the European Union prepared for a summit to discuss the Georgia crisis and further relations with Russia. Russia's ties to the West have been driven to their lowest point since the Soviet collapse of 1991 by the war last month in Georgia, where Saakashvili angered Moscow by courting the West and seeking NATO membership. Russia repelled a Georgian offensive against the breakaway Georgian province of South Ossetia and sent troops, tanks and bombers deep into undisputed Georgian territory, where some still maintain positions. Moscow last week recognised South Ossetia and another breakaway region, Abkhazia, as independent countries. Russia says it was provoked.

SOUNDBITE: (English) Mikhail Saakashvili, Georgian President: "We are not taking this seriously. We've heard some statements. We've heard some verbal menaces like a number of things, first of all that stopped the withdrawal of their forces - that's what they said - then they started some kind of manoeuvres in northern Caucasus but I think it was more a statement rather than fact. As well as there was a statement there was manoeuvres in the Black Sea and again, I myself couldn't believe they could deploy a Black Sea fleet on such short notice and they didn't because well, we've been hearing yesterday and today, we are monitoring closely the situation, don't see much naval activity anyway, so I think this was kind of posturing to say, 'yeah, we are there, we are doing something, we are flexing muscles'." 6. Cutaway of cameraman 7. SOUNDBITE: (English) Mikhail Saakashvili, Georgian President: "You know we are a country that is independent. We are not some rebellious Russian region that's trying to make problems for central government in Moscow. We are another country. We have our own government, our own problems and our own issues and, you know, everyone should get used to this idea, exactly the fact like they are getting used to the idea that Lithuania is independent, Estonia is independent and Latvia is independent." 8. People sitting around table 9. Saakashvili getting up from table STORYLINE: Georgia will release four detained Russian military officers into the hands of the Organisation for Security and Cooperation (OSCE) in Europe on Monday, a spokesperson for the Georgian president said. The head of the OSCE was expected later on Monday in the Georgian capital, Tbilisi, as Georgia's Western allies stepped up efforts to resolve the spiralling dispute between Tbilisi and Moscow, sparked by last week's arrest of the four Russian officers on spying charges. Belgian Foreign Minister Karel De Gucht, who holds the rotating chairmanship of the OSCE, was expected to meet with Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili. De Gucht had been in contact in recent days with the Georgian leader, Georgian Foreign Minister Gela Bezhuashvili and his Russian counterpart, Sergey Lavrov. A spokesperson for the OSCE told The Associated Press by phone from Vienna that the trans-Atlantic security alliance was acting as a mediator between Georgia and Russia and the four men would no longer face spying charges. The spokesperson said that it was an alleged spying case with nothing proven and therefore there was no question of taking them into custody. Saakashvili on Monday played down tensions between his country and Russia sparked by the arrest and detention of four Russian military officers on spy charges. The two countries have been trading angry statements in what is their worst bilateral crisis in years with the commander of Russian military forces in Georgia saying his troops have been put on high alert and ordered to shoot to kill to defend their bases. But Saakashvili dismissed Russian "verbal menaces" saying Moscow was merely "flexing muscles." He said that Russian statements that they would conduct military manoeuvres in the northern Caucasus and the Black Sea were "posturing". Russian President Vladimir Putin has denounced the arrests as "state terrorism" and Russian diplomatic staff and their families in the Georgian capital have been recalled to Moscow. Speaking at an after-midnight briefing with foreign reporters in the Black Sea city of Batumi, Saakashvili stressed that Georgia was an independent country and ran its own affairs.

Wide of Georgian Deputy Foreign Minister Nino Kalandadze walking in to news conference 10. SOUNDBITE: (Georgian) Nino Kalandadze, Georgian Deputy Foreign Minister: "In the circumstances when territories are occupied, the signing of an agreement on visa-free travel is a cynical act. Everyone, including the international community, knows that the active ''passportisation'' is taking place, Russian passports are being given to the population, in some instances against their will. So, the formal signing of a visa-free agreement is not significant, for it is a violation of international law and is an illegal act. With this act Russia is once more trying to legalise the recognition policy but nobody supports Russia in this." 11. Wide of news conference STORYLINE The foreign ministers of Russia and South Ossetia on Monday signed an agreement on visa-free travel, which was immediately criticised by Georgia as a "cynical act." The signing ceremony took place during South Ossetian Foreign Minister Murat Dzhioyev''s visit to Moscow. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said the agreement "creates conditions for the development of business, humanitarian and personal exchanges which the young independent state of South Ossetia needs so much." The agreement would allow visa-free stay for up to 90 days for passport-holders from either place, Russian news agency Itar-Tass reported. The breakaway Georgian provinces of South Ossetia and Abkhazia declared independence from Georgia after a five-day war in 2008. Russia has since recognised both regions as independent states, but only Venezuela, Nicaragua and the South Pacific island nation of Nauru have followed its example. Georgia has fiercely protested, claiming that Russia is trying to annex the regions. In Tbilisi on Monday, Georgia''s Deputy Foreign Minister Nino Kalandadze said the visa agreement was a "cynical act" and described South Ossetia as an "occupied" territory. She claimed it was well known that Russia was already giving Russian passports to the region''s population, "in some instances against their will." "The formal signing of a visa-free agreement is not significant, for it is a violation of international law and is an illegal act," she said. "Nobody supports Russia in this," she added. The five-day war in 2008, with Russian troops and tanks backing South Ossetian forces, killed at least 390 people, displaced tens of thousands and left a legacy of animosity between leaders and fears among civilians that more fighting may erupt. South Ossetia is cut off from the rest of Georgia by military checkpoints and thousands of Russian troops are still based in the province. Russia and South Ossetia claim Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili retains ambitions to seize control of South Ossetia by force and have denounced Western military aid to Georgia.

Must find Grushenka! Must get 3000 rubles! These scenes are from the 1969 Soviet movie version of "Brothers Karamazov." Dmitri is played fabulously by Mikhail Ulyanov. (Fun fact: In a 1994 version of "Master and Margarita," Ulyanov played Pontius Pilate . In the 2005 "Master and Margarita" miniseries, Pontius Pilate is played by Kirill Lavrov, the fellow who plays Ivan Karamazov in this version of BK.)
