\n \n ULANOVA Galina Sergeevna (1910, St. Petersburg - 1998), dancer, pedagogue, Hero of Socialist Labor (1974, 1980), People\"s Artist of the USSR (1951). Graduating from the Leningrad Choreographic School under A.Y. Vaganova, she was a soloist at the Kirov Opera and Ballet Theatre from 1928 until 1941. She was the first to play the role of Maria in The Fountain of Bakhchisaray (1934, ballet master R.V. Zakharov) and Juliet (1940, ballet master L.M. Lavrovsky). She also played Odette/Odile, Giselle, and other major roles. Ulanova\"s roles were characterised by an extraordinary harmony of dancing, imparting grace to simple movements and naturalness to complex ones. Through her art she made real the tender poetic heroines who lived in love and defended love at the expense of their lives. Tragic finales became light and hopeful when Ulanova played them. A bronze bust modelled after her was installed in Moscow Podeby Park (1984, sculptor M.K. Anikushin). She was awarded the Stalin Prize (1941, 1946, 1947, 1950) and Lenin Prize (1957). She lived at 8 Dzerzhinskogo Street (today Gorokhovaya Street), and 13 Gogolya Street (today Malaya Morskaya Street).
