Outspoken ballet star Olga Smirnova joins Dutch National Ballet in wake of 'this global catastrophe.'

“I never thought I would be ashamed of Russia,” the ballerina continued in her post. She described herself as one-quarter Ukrainian, with a Ukrainian grandfather. Yet this alone did not drive her decision, she wrote: “It is that we continue to live as if this were the 20th century.”

He has also welcomed a former Mariinsky dancer, Victor Caixeta, from Brazil, who left Russia in protest as well. According to Brandsen, Caixeta left the Mariinsky along with the company’s first English principal dancer, Xander Parish, and Parish’s wife. Parish announced his departure from the Mariinsky on Instagram last week, saying he was leaving Russia “at least until peace comes. My heart goes out to the people of Ukraine.

“She managed to get her mother out and she’s arrived here,” Brandsen said. “But her brother and father can’t leave because they’re needed to fight.
