A political issue became in Russia the… shortage pointe shoes due to western sanctions. Earlier, it was spread on the Telegram social network that the general director of the famous Bolshoi Theater Vladimir Urin said that the ballet dancers of the famous Bolshoi Theater had run out of pointe shoes.
Ballet dancers from the world-famous Bolshoi Theater will not be without pointe shoes, Urin assured TASS, repeating a statement he reportedly made earlier.
Urin denied reports that such a problem had allegedly arisen, insisting that at a meeting of the State Duma’s culture committee he only spoke about “excessive bureaucracy during the purchase process”.
At the meeting of the culture committee of the Lower House, the serious issue of import substitution in the field of culture was discussed, which was attended by members of ministries, agencies and producers of goods, he explained.
“In my speech, I mentioned that even a large number of products used by theaters, concert organizations and circuses are not produced in Russia today. I said that for a while, for sure, we will have to buy imported products so that performances are not suspended,” explained Urine.
“Let’s minimize red tape – that’s what my speech was focused on. It’s not about pointe shoes. I just mentioned it as an example. I didn’t say that today the ballet dancers of the Bolshoi Theater have no shoes to wear,” Urin clarified.
According to Urin, the theater has no right to buy imported products according to regulatory documents without the permission of the Ministry of Industry and Trade. He described the need to obtain a license for every product on the list as nonsense.
The head of the Bolshoi Theater also said that he is happy that the production of products for the needs of culture is improving in Russia, but noted that it may take years to achieve the desired results.
