was one of the most popular stars of the Bolshoi Ballet for some 30 years (1933–63). Known for the virtuosity, dynamic technique, and humour and drama with which she infused her dancing, she shone in both classic and, especially, contemporary roles. Lepeshinskaya was a favourite of Joseph Stalin and was awarded the Stalin Prize in 1941, 1946, 1947, and 1950. Following her retirement from the Bolshoi, she taught internationally for many years.
