Russia police question dancer over attack

RUSSIAN police have questioned a star dancer about an attack against the artistic director of the Bolshoi ballet Sergei Filin.

Nikolai Tsiskaridze, one of the Bolshoi's best known male principals, has been questioned, police said in a statement on Friday.

"Employees of the Bolshoi Theatre and relatives and acquaintances of Filin have also been questioned," said the statement quoted by Russian news agencies.

Tsiskaridze is the first figure to be named by police as a witness in the case.

The Bolshoi's management and Filin have blamed last week's attack on internal divisions within the company.

Tsiskaridze, a flamboyant figure with flowing black hair who regularly appears as a judge on TV talent shows, last year lashed out at the Bolshoi's leadership for not giving him enough lead roles.

The Izvestia daily said Tsiskaridze had aroused the attention of investigators with his repeated criticism of the Bolshoi management.

He has not been named as a suspect, and vehemently denied any link to the attack.

"What happened (to Filin) is horrific," Tsiskaridze told the RIA Novosti news agency while complaining of "systematic persecution" by the Bolshoi.

Filin is undergoing a series of operations in a Moscow hospital to save his eyesight and repair disfigurement from acid that hit his face.
