I have compiled a list of current principals, soloists, coorypheres of the mariinsky and bolshoi, (including Olga Smirnova and Alina Somova), but excluding Svetlana Zakharova, who graduated from Yelena Yevteyeva class, but only spent that one final year at VBA. Just a few are missing, because i was not sure which class they were graduating from.

Lyudmila Safronova-Nadezhda Batoeva, Yulia Stepanova, Alina Somova. Marina Vasilieva-Olesya Novikova, Viktoria Tereshkina, Evgenia Obraztsova, Svetlana Savelieva, Elena Yevseyeva, Yana Selina. Tatiana Udalenkova-Renata Shakirova, Eleonora Sevenard, Vlada Borodulina. Lyudmila Kovaleva-Diana Vishneva, Olga Smirnova, Maria Khoreva, Kristina Shapran, Maria Bulanova, Maria Koshkaryova, Anastasia Lukina, Anastasia Nuikina, Yuliana Chereshkevich, Daria Ionova, Viktoria Krasnokutskaya, Bíborka Lendvai, Yevgenia Savkina. Yulia Kasenkova-Alyona Kovalyova, Maria Ilyushkina, Daria Kulikova. Irina Sitnikova-Alexandra Khiteyeva, Shamala Guseinova, Anastasia Nikitina. Lyubov Kunakova-Anastasia Kolegova, Tatiana Tkachenko. Inna Zubkovskaya-Yekaterina Osmolkina. Nina Sakhnovskaya-Alexandra Iosifidi. Tatiana Terekhova-Valeria Martynyuk. Natalia Dudinskaya- Elena Bazhenova. Maria Gribanova-Maria Chernyvskaya. Irina Zhelonkina-Alisa Barinova.

It’s so interesting to see this laid out like this. Thank you! Kovaleva has had the longest tenure (I think!) so it’s no surprise that her roster is long! Thanks for sharing.

And if we were to go beyond these two theaters, the list would be very long!

What a magical list of talented people!

Of course, Kovaleva seems to be the teacher with the most names, but I have to admit, I always seem to gravitate toward Marina Vasilieva's students the most. And, of course, this list does not account for how long the teachers have been teaching or for teachers of the past.

It would also be very interesting to see if there is a common thread of people who were these students' teachers in the years prior to the graduation years. I think graduating teachers get too much credit! Just kidding, but for example, Maria Gribanova usually teaches younger kids, while Kovaleva only teaches older ones. It would be interesting to compile a massive Excel spreadsheet that goes way back through the years and work out which combination of teachers produces the most successful students.

I didn't know Kunankova taught in VBA. She's currently a coach in Mariinsky, I know Tereshkina, Evseeva, Illiushkina, Savelieva, Bespalova are some of her students. It was on the performance in her honour that Svetlana danced the Lilac Fairy for the first time.

Maria Gribanova does not get enough credit. She mainly teaches middle classes, I see her most in grades 4 to 6, and usually it's someone else after that. All her students have very solid technique, and she cares for everyone for what I can tell. Every student gains something in her class.

Thank you for this list 💜

I love this list. Thank you. But damn, Lyudmila Kovaleva is really THAT girl. 🤣 Even Maria Koshkareva and Sofia Valiullina are doing really well.

This also made me realize that my taste has always been Marina Vasilieva’s students.
