Thoughts on IBC Moscow: Round 1

Livestreams found here:

Not going to be talking about everyone of course, just people who caught my eye.

Senoirs

Georgy Bolsunovsky, Very stable, classical, and mature, I would like to see him in a more partnering-heavy piece

Amanda Gomes Moraes, jumps to the moon, much more impressive than her partner, with excellent charisma and stage presence. She's a prize winner from 2017.

Varara Tereshina: charming, but had an absolutely hideous tutu for her Paquita variation

Anujin Otgontugs and her partner Davaadorj Oyun were wonderful, brave to dance Swan Lake in the first round. Very coordinated duet. She has excellent clarity, presentation and light legs. And she was rock-solid for all her balances. He is not as strong of a soloist as she is. I didn't think her variation could top the duet but wow, she's really stunning and a daredevil too! Shame about the fouettes, looks like she just ran out of steam at the end.

Tomoha Terada, what a massive jump!! Monsterous double cabrioles, and wonderful to see double saut be basques that rise into the second revolution!! Ambitious pirouettes handled well and just looks so happy to be on stage! You could literally hear the audience's gasps.

Sofía Belén Varela Rojas, a pretty girl but danced a bit too small for BT's huge stage, she only covered maybe 1/4th of the stage in both variations, and lacks stability and strength, randomly changing choreography isn't going to get you anywhere at this competition

Anastasia and Artem Pugachev, beautiful couple from Novosibirsk, romantic and caring Giselle, yet almost aloof, dancing for themselves, not for the audience

....people white swan is freaking hard....haven't seen one decent one

Bogdan Verbovoy, well danced, lofty bluebird, costume worked well for his body

Anfisa Oshenepkova, strong arabesque line, powerful Diana but felt a little nervy to me

Yujin Kim, confident Medora, sometimes a little untidy in the feet

Dmitry Uksusnikov, another big jumper, uses his upper body and focus well, I need somebody to tell him to stop biting his lips

Alisa Alekseeva, lovely lines and precise footwork, in sleeping beauty pas de deux, could use more softening in the port de bras

Amina Khaliova, Gulnare was the better variation by far, more poised and more complete movements

Dmitri Smilevsky, wow I guess Kokoreva really isn't here lmao, he's great but his Solar costume looks like pajamas and he almost fell on his face at one point, Sleeping Beauty variation was fantastic, such compact double tours, excellent musicality as well

Wakabayashi Liriy / Shamakeev Kubanych Le Corsaire was wonderfully done, she has such clean turning positions, every single passe is well above her knee, and clear turnout, I found him a little hyper but he's got a strong spirit

Ksenia Abdulkarimova/ Georgy Stelmakh are both leggy, big jumpers, would have liked to see more expression from him and smarter choreographic choices...his saut de baseque is wonky, why put so many of them?????, she did 32 fouettes without her arms, spellbinding until the las 4 counts

but yikessss a lot of girls are having A TIME with fouette today,

....will be updated when the rest of the seniors perform

Senoirs continued

Iliushkina/Korneyev, were fine?? But not nearly as good as I expected? GPC is honestly not a piece that really suits either of them, it looks best of dancers with exceptional precision, sharpness, and clarity. You need a certain air of sophistication to really pull it off and I felt they were often behind the music at times. The two of them have been more successful in romantic, lyrical repertoire and I get that they're probably saving their big 'money makers' for later....but this was disappointedly meh, especially from him. But they still got TWO calls at a competition here.

Alessandro Caggegi, powerful jumps but a bit greedy with the pirouettes, excellent charisma, wonder if he should be here as a soloist.....also slipped and nearly wiped out on a 540 giving me a heart attack, hope he's ok!

Natalia Pivkina, excellent Sleeping beauty duet, she's so tiny and precise and looks like a dream to partner. Fabulous until the end of her variation, double piques were off. She's already got a Diploma from Arabesque, this deut is a perfect choice for her

....please don't compete in a ballet competition with an untucked button-down polo....not a cute look

Camilla Ismagilova/ Dangyt Subedei Lovely, lyrical dancing, made Le Corsaire actually look romantic. She needs to be more attentive to her turnout at times but their connection together is silky smooth, and they both have excellent musicality. He;'s got fabulous pirouettes, and showed an extended combination with several grand pirouettes. Big deserved applause, maybe my favorite duet tonight.

Miu Shibagaki/ Jotaro Kanazashi, delicate Sleeping Beauty, she has a killer line for arabesque and attitude.

If you cant do double carbioles...don't pick a variation that requires them (Solar)

Munhjin lziijargal, easy natural jump but can't control it well. Sigfried was better for him, perhaps because the jump landings demand more precise finishes so he holds back a bit more, much more refined here.

Maxim Izmestyev, Strong, another huge jumper!! Rotates so quickly in the air, finishes rotating both his saut de basques and tours at the peak of the jump, instant stamp of approval from me. Needs a little more sense of calm for the pirouettes and his Don Quixote choreography is awkward and does him a disservice.

....not Yuri Fayteev literally holding his head in his hand after one of the boys

Fukuda Shiori, powerhouse, stunning 1-1-3 fouette combo looks like it takes absolutely no effort from her. I want to see more from her

Anastasia Smirnova, give her the gold already, that's all I have to say. Fabulous from start to finish, obviously we know the girl can jump, but she backed it up with clean turns to both sides in Diana and she's just got this naturally dynamite presence on stage that makes me instantly root for her, curtain call for DAYS. Love how she runs all the way to the far corner before she starts her final circle of jumps for Gamzatti, the girl can travel!

Kirill Makurin, quite literally fell on his face during his Don Quixote, massive props for getting up immediately after and NAILING 4 pirouettes just seconds later and killing the rest of variation, complete with 4 pirouettes+double tour from a single leg to finish. Classy, challenging, redeemed himself with his SIgfried variation, fabulous cleanliness and much more stable pirouettes, judges don't you DARE cut him.

Juniors

Alicia Pak, must have been so nervous to perform first! strong assemble six and well-rotated pirouettes. Laurencia even better than her Corsaire!

Sofia Valiullina, honestly looks like she's been a professional for a couple years already, especially compared to a lot of the girls who danced the same Odilesque variation, her dancing is so warm and inviting, looks so regal and refined already. The fact that she's still got another year is crazy. Lilac Fairy even better, stunning transitions

Yaroslavna Kuprina, maybe my favorite Kitri I watched? And her variation from Awakening of Flora is even better, knows exactly where to look and has seamless port de bras, nice physique

Luka Dobos, Tsiskaridze needs to get this kid to put his heels down when he takes off and when he lands, not sure Nutcracker was the best choice for him, Corsaire was much better but still had some shaky pirouettes

Camilla Sultangareeva stood out dancing a variation from Ruslan and Lyudmila, but looked a little shaky and her rotations weren't always stable

Jung Yeonjoo is really adorable and genuine, makes triple pirouettes look like doubles, and picked excellent variations, both Talisman and La Fille suit her natural persona but show off different technical elements and shes only 14!!!!!

Angelina Karamysheva, strong legs, beautiful, correctly placed Italian Fouettes, one to watch for sure

...junior boys have a lot of bent legs and no one can do a tour from 5th to 5th ... literally, all of them caused some amount of stress

Spain/Russian Duet is probably the strongest in juniors but Anna Fedora/Yuri Kudryatsev is also very good, beautiful Sleeping Beauty

Only 3 junior duets? Interesting...but those three boys are probably the most stable in this category

Ksenia Ring, clear attitude line, excellent character for Kitri

Ksenia Andreenko- a joy to watch, makes ballet look comfortable, travels so easily

Donghee Kim better tours, and jumps but I think it's poor staging to only show normal pirouettes 3 times in the same variation.

Austin Anthony also looking much better in Paquita than in Sylphide, needs someone to help with his stage makeup

Tran Gia Huy at least can do tours from 3rd to 3rd, nice strong plie

Valeria Kuznetsova, clear Bluebird variation, a bit stiff in the arms, Aurora a better choice, classic Perm schooling

Taiga Kodama-Pomfret, good energy, very ambitious choices

Daria Chuganova, strong performance, used the full stage well, excellent turnout

Maria Koshkareva, fabulous Swanilda, each element was clear, gave me baby Vishneva flashbacks tho, deserved, and received, huge applause, Flora was strong as well, bold penches and beautiful jumps,

Makar Mikhalkin, strongest junior guy by far, came to save the category, very refined performance, paquita> giselle, no surprises that he's from MGAH

Getting into a new sport is like diving into a very passionate fandom with many acronyms that you don't understand.

I'm not sure what I'm missing about Koshkaryova recently but I have found her dancing underwhelming thus far? I thought she was fantastic at the Moscow IBC (Shirin variation!!!) but since then she has looked very messy. Her Corsaire, DQ bridesmaid variation and Paquita varation- all seemed noticeably off the music, frenetic, turned in and slightly sloppy turns with stiff arms. Also something about her epaulement seems off. I hope this is not related to preparing too many new roles too quickly. Additionally, I don't understand the double standards Valiullina is facing about her body type. Some people complain that she is too heavy for ballet yet fail to find fault with to other brilliant, less than stick-thin ballerinas like Maria Alexandrova and Angelina Vorontsova. I find Valiullina lovely with very effortless technique, an good jump and commanding stage presence, so naturally think the comments about her weight are quite unnecessary.

Probably because being good in competitions doesn't translate to being good in a major stage. I think there's two ways to think about this.

First, she's a fresh graduate. It's normal for her to be nervous. They're not just debuts, they're debuts on her first few months with the company. I think every legend in ballet has had their fair share of failures on stage. She'll probably have more solid footing after her first year. Second, the expectations for her are high because she's the top graduate and she's already a soloist. The bar is a lot higher for her than Yaroslavna and Sofia. Anything she will do, whether it be average or above, will likely be overlooked since we're expecting more from her.

That said, there's a lot to work on and I think she will and probably is working on them. Aside from her Paquita debut (Trilby Variation), I think she's been fine. Also, I don't know what she danced in Corsaire? Or if Bolshoi has performed Corsaire this season.

Here's a video of Natalia Makarova talking about her failures!

youtube

For Sofya, ugh I love her. You can tell that she's a thoughtful dancer. She's not a risk taker like Maria. Her technique is flawless and she's captivating on stage. She is my bias hahaha. To be honest with you, I don't look at instagram comments nor overtly negative telegram channels/forums so I'm not aware of the comments about her body. If there's an overwhelming amount of people judging her for that, that is disappointing. Does she have a more mature body, yes. Does it affect her dancing in any way whatsoever, no. She literally has the same body type as Maria Bulanova! I don't see why they can't accept her as well. She has so much potential, I hope they never hold her back just because she doesn't have the body of her 13 year old self?

Any news on how Elena Svinko’s recent debuts went?

Elena Svinko has so far debuted the principal roles: the Sylph, Gulnare, Masha (Chemiakin), Masha (Vainonen), and Anyuta.

I didn't see much of either of her Masha debuts, but I know that her Masha in Chemiakin's Nutcracker got really good reviews.

I absolutely loved her Anyuta debut, it's the perfect role for her. It really showcases her strong emotional range and her feistiness and strong presence on stag.

Her Gulnare and Sylph debuts surprised me. Not her performance in them, but the fact that she was cast at all in those roles. I think she'd make an amazing Medora and Effie so I just didn't expect it. However, I was pleasantly surprised by her Sylph. To me, it's not a role that I think she's naturally suited for, but she did very well. And her Gulnare was very strong and a great showcase for her technique. Still, I'd love it if they gave her Medora instead.

I'd love to see her debut Kitri, I think this is the role that most obviously fits her, and her performance of the duet from the Stone Flower at IBC Moscow makes me eager to see her as Mistress of the Copper Mountain in the full-length ballet. The Mariinsky is putting on the Stone Flower in April, so fingers crossed!

I also find Karamysheva underwhelming. She's beautiful but I think it's just an unfortunate side effect of the documentary/social media hype since she was a first-year, you sometimes end up expecting too much. Recently I liked her a lot at Moscow IBC, but ultimately agreed with her placement behind all her classmates plus the 1 junior, Sultangareeva. And when she started getting solo roles at the Mariinsky, I felt like I understood why she wasn't given any solo parts at the graduation performance. Maybe it was just nerves but I just couldn't see any soloist qualities in her, which I understand she isn't a soloist but you'd think she would need some level of that to receive a solo role. Some of her performances have seemed as premature as some of Koshkareva's, imo. She looks very sweet onstage but I cannot comprehend why she is receiving solo roles over dancers like Savelieva who are stuck in the corps. Even Ionova doesn't seem to be up to much nowadays.

I would love to be proven wrong by Karamysheva though, she does seem sweet with a very cheerful presence onstage, and I have nothing against her, I just always find it surprising the way people see her on this site.

I haven't closely watched her performances, but from what I've seen, they appeared technically clean, nor did the roles compare in difficulty to what Koshkaryeva danced. But if management thinks she's capable of dancing Prince's Friends of the Bridesmaid variation, I'm here for it. Also, what we see in tiny IG or YouTube videos is a weak facsimile to to what the audience experiences. Some dancers step on stage and their charisma is palpable, so I try to reserve judgement unless someone turns in a noticeably weak, underwhelming performance — and Koshkaryeva's straight out of the gate soloist roles were subpar by any measure — and I just haven't seen that with this young dancer. I'd give her time since she's still adjusting to theater life.

Maria Khoreva's Instagram says she suffered an injury and won't be able to dance for a long time. Have you heard anything about this? I assume she won't be able to participate in the Moscow IBC then.

Considering the competition starts June 3rd, I assume she will pull out. Out of all the competitors, she needs this competition the least, it would be foolish for her to try to push herself through it.

While it's not unsurprising that she's injured, given her workload, it's never fun to be injured and I hope she recovers safely. This is now the second major competition she's (likely) going to miss after pulling out of PDL in her VBA days.

Promsvyazbank By Ananyev Brothers Left Boris Mintz Without 13.3 Billion Rubles

Our article today will focus on a “feigned deal” that involved placement of the managing company NPF "Future" of Boris Mints deposits for 13.3 billion rubles in Promsvyazbank in order to ensure the receipt of money from the sale of 10% of Promsvyazbank itself the day before it was reorganized- this was a point raised by a representative of the PSB during the hearings on the lawsuit on controversial deposits in 2018.

This is how the scheme looked according to the lawyers of the PSB: On December 11, 2017 the Central Bank issued to Dmitri Ananyev (at the time the head of the PSB and his co-owner) an order to complete the reserves for 100 billion rubles, and "it was clear that this amount would not be covered." The members of the bank's board of directors, including Dmitry Mints (the son of Boris Mints, the main shareholder of the "Future" group), were to receive information about the order right away. According to the lawyer of the PSB, the Future Fund, on December 14, from 18:13 to 18:49, almost sold its stake in Mossbirge to Promsvyaz Capital B.V. (at that time the main shareholder of Promsvyazbank), while Promsvyaz Capital B.V. paid for the shares at the expense of the bank. Just after half an hour, deposits began to be made to the accounts of the management company of this NPF - Concord Asset Management- in the bank. Two business days later, on December 18, the transaction was paid in accordance with the rules of the Mossbirge.

In January (2018), the bank’s capital was written off to 1 ruble, so if the APF did not sell the shares, it would have lost its investment. Furthermore, the share in the PSB, owned by NPF "Future", "would have fallen from 8 billion rubles up to 8 kopecks.” Knowing about the future sanation, NPF sold shares and put 13.3 billion rubles, pension savings of their customers to the account in that bank realizing that the Central Bank would save the bank and the funds on deposits could be returned.

Unrelated Transactions:

During the court session, “Concord Asset Management” recalled that since December 7, 2017, they signed with Ananyev Promsvyazbank several agreements on the placement of deposits for a total of 13.3 billion rubles. But on December 15, the bank’s credit rating changed in connection with the decision of the Central Bank to sanitize Promsvyazbank, and after that, the company decided to return the deposits, but the bank ignored that claim, which it tried to challenge in the court of Concord.

The management company emphasized that the placement of deposits and payment for shares were not related. Talking about the sale of shares and the placement of a deposit, the company pointed out that the rehabilitation of a number of banks was accompanied by a write-off of capital and a complete depreciation of investments in shares, while obligations on deposits remained. Therefore, FG "Future", the mother company of NPF "Future" acted on the basis of the logic of managers in that situation.

The Central Bank, which was brought to the dispute as a third person, believed that the placement of deposits in the PSB was not dictated by financial and economic feasibility.

Although, FG “Future” press service stated that Dmitry Mints was not a member of the board of directors of Promsvyazbank since September 2017 and "could not have relevant information", Dmitry Mints appeared as a member of the board of directors on the list of affiliated entities of Promsvyazbank on December 31, which was explained by outdated data in the list in the press service of FG “Future”.

FG "Future" showed a loss of 16.4 billion rubles following the results of 2017. According to the results of the first quarter of 2018, the assets of APF "Future", the largest of the funds of Boris Mints, were 308.9 billion rubles, 4.5 million people were its customers. 75% FG "Future" was then mortgaged on a loan from the Moscow Credit Bank (MKB) for 25 billion rubles. Roman Avdeev, the owner of the IBC, transferred the debt to its structure, the Rossium concern, and she raised the Cyprus Riverstretch Trading & Investments (RT & I) to "structure the deal." It was a question of whether the debt was about to or already had been assigned to the Cyprus company. Although the company was associated with GC Region, but the group outright denied connection with the offshore company.

Follow The Washington Times article “Global banking’s house of cards” for detailed information.
