Nina Anisimova was born in 1909 in imperial St Petersburg. One of the most renowned character dancers and choreographers of the twentieth century, she won her way into the hearts of her audience over many decades. Yet few knew that her exemplary career concealed a dark secret.
In 1938, at the height of Stalin’s Great Terror, Nina vanished. Only a handful of people knew that she had been arrested by the secret police, accused of being a Nazi spy and sentenced to forced labour in a camp in Kazakhstan.
Trapped thousands of miles from home and surrounded by the horrors of the Karlag camp – without winter clothes in temperatures of minus 40 degrees – her art was her salvation, giving her a reason to fight for her life.
"Dancing for Stalin" is a remarkable true story of suffering and injustice, of courage, resilience and – ultimately – triumph.

OPINIE i DYSKUSJE
Nina Aleksandrovna Anisimov was a ballerina at the Kirov Theatre in Leningrad. She looked wonderful as she played the role. I'd love to see her. This woman has two faces. What? You will find out from the book "Dancing for Stalin". The image of the NKVD in Leningrad is very clearly presented. Literally scared to death. It's a good thing I didn't live in those days. In 1938, the NKVD burst into Nina's family home and searched her room. Her parents witnessed it. Why did it happen? Why did the NKVD take our heroine? Why did she fall for them? See what her life was like before and after her arrest. Being in prison didn't help anyone. Read in what Spartan conditions the prisoners were interrogated. Until the heart breaks. Tears flow. And this is just the beginning... Was our ballerina a German spy? Was she spying for Hitler? Did she conduct criminal activity against the Soviets? Who made Nina smile even for a moment? Has she ever seen her family again? Of course, you'll find out in this book. Dancing for Stalin is an engaging read. The story hidden in the pages of this book is true. I was never interested in Nina Aleksandrovna Anisimov. So I am happy that I got to know her. This book is perfect for all lovers of history and biography. It is worth reading it and learning the real facts about Nina. This story evoked a lot of emotions in me. I am very pleased with it. Thank you to the author for introducing us to the life of Nina Aleksandrovna Anisimov. I leave you with the question, can art choose with politics?
