It was from here that Nureev took off to his Paris tour. Back then, in the early 1960s Nureev had stunned the Soviet Union and the world with his leap over the railing in the Paris airport of Orli. The young dancer preferred the freedom of the Western world over the gloom of Soviet reality. Mr. Nureev returned years later to the free Russia, where he met with his friends and saw the country again after many years in the West.
