(FORTUNE Magazine) – The Kirov Ballet's . . . program ((includes)) a new ballet that will tell you where the Kirov men are. This week, 32 of them will be running up an aisle of the Metropolitan Opera House and yelling with revolutionary fervor . . . ''Battleship Potemkin'' ((is)) of more than sociological interest . . . The earnestness of the dancers . . . is persuasive enough to be moving. -- From a dance review in the July 19 New York Times.

Michael Gaidamakin, a 34-year-old dancer in the Kirov Ballet company, has asked for asylum in the United States. Mr. Gaidamakin came here from the Soviet Union with 20 extra members of the Kirov corps de ballet to appear this month at the Metropolitan Opera House in . . . the ballet ''Battleship Potemkin.'' -- From a news report in the July 27 New York Times.
