Description
Russian prima ballerina Olga Smirnova starts a new life at the Dutch National Ballet in Amsterdam after leaving Russia to protest its invasion of Ukraine. Although Smirnova still regards the Moscow-based Bolshoi as one of the best dance companies in the world, she says her "conscience compelled her to leave the country." IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
