Alexander Borisovich Godunov (Russian: ; November 28, 1949 – May 18, 1995), nicknamed "Sasha" (the standard Russian diminutive for the name Alexander), was a Russian-American danseur and film actor, whose defection caused a diplomatic incident between the United States and the Soviet Union. ==Early life and dance career== Godunov was born in Sakhalin, Russian SFSR, Soviet Union, in the Russian Far East. Godunov began his ballet studies in Riga in 1958, in the same class as Mikhail Baryshnikov. The two became friends and helped each other throughout their years there. Godunov joined the Bolshoi Ballet in 1971 and rose to become Premier danseur. His teachers there included Aleksey Yermolayev.〔 〕 In 1973, he won a gold medal at the Moscow International Ballet Competition. After playing Lemisson, the Royal Musician, in ''The Thirty-first of June'' (Soviet, 1978) by J. B. Priestley, Godunov became well known in the Soviet Union as a movie actor. His roles included Vronsky in ''Anna Karenina'' (1976).〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Alexander Godunov」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
