Questions

"Unlike many ballerinas, she did not spend any time in the corps de ballet. She was named principal ballerina immediately after graduation." - contradicts to her memoirs "Me, Maya Plisetskaya" (page 81 in the Russian edition). She did dance in the corps de ballet, but not much.

"She was Jewish in an anti-Semitic climate, and not allowed to tour with the company in 1956. It wasn't until 1959 that the world got to see Maya Plisetskaya, ..." Do you imply that before 1956 and after 1959 the "anti-Semitic climate" did not exist? By explaining her conflicts with the Bolshoi management by her Jewish origin you oversimplify the situation. In fact, only those who imposed the ban on her going abroad in 1956 know the reasons why the ban was imposed. Plisetskaya herself does not know exactly who they were – KGB, Ministry of Culture or the Bolshoi management. By the way, in the same year, not in 1958 "she was honoured with the title of the People's Artist of the USSR" and this honorary title (and her other awards) does not accord with "She was Jewish in an anti-Semitic climate."

"married the young composer Rodion Shchedrin, whose subsequent fame she shared." – it is debatable. Shchedrin has never been as famous as Plisetskaya. -- Ludmilasv 09:52, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

She is also citizen of Lithuania, this should be also mentioned.
