Rudolf Khametovich Nureyev (1938 – 1993), was a Soviet-born ballet dancer and choreographer. Nureyev is regarded by many as the greatest male ballet dancer of his generation. Nureyev was born on a Trans-Siberian train near Irkutsk, Siberia, Soviet Union, to a Bashkir-Tatar family. He defected from the Soviet Union to the West in 1961, despite KGB efforts to stop him. This was the first defection of a Soviet artist during the Cold War, and it created an international sensation. He went on to dance with The Royal Ballet in London and from 1983 to 1989 served as director of the Paris Opera Ballet. In Great vintage Condition!
