A company that calls itself the Ukrainian National Ballet of Odessa has been described as an “impostor” by the Ukrainian embassy in Ireland. It will tour Ireland later this month with 12 performances of Russian composer Pyotr Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake

“So, it seems unfair that a private dancing company uses this mark of merit without any right to do so.”The embassy also criticised the ballet company for touring a Russian ballet at a time when the Russian military is committing atrocities in Ukraine.

Ukrainian musician and refugee in Ireland, Olesia Borsuk, said Tchaikovsky was part of the Russian imperial tradition and not part of Ukrainian culture at all. “Russia should be cancelled throughout the whole word. I’m upset that you can still find the Russian music being performed everywhere. Cancellation should be at all levels.”

Bit hard on poor old Tchaikovsky, who lived for his music. His gay nature has been vilified and suppressed but Putin's mob. If he were alive today, he'd have to get out of Russia. Definitely this ballet company's status needs clarification.

'Wait a minute! You're not the Ukrainian ballet company production of Swan Lake! You're a chicken!!'
