“What are you groin# to do tonight?” asked Saltykov. His
eyes sparkled and had a grin in them. The corners of the eye
had small smiling wrinkles that invited warmness.
I thought: At last, now you’re going to see how the average
Russian worker lives. Sergei Saltykov, interpreter and efficient
guide for Intoruist, is going to ask you to his home.
Sergei shared his “home” with several families. He was
waiting for an apartment of his own for many years. This is a
difficult thing to acquire in Moscow and elsewhere in the Soviet
Union where the housing shortage is still one of the natioln’s
greatest problems. The Russians may well put a man on the moon
poste ha-te. However, they’ll still need about fifty years to place
all their citizens in proper 'housing in Mother Russia. Sergei had
hopes of acquiring his own apartment before the year ran out.
With a blush of anticipation I answered, “Absolutely nothing,
Free as a bird tonight.”
“Ah good. Then I suggest you see the Bolshoi. Everyone in
Moscow should see the Bolshoi.”
A little disenheartened, I put up a good front. “How do I
get a ticket?”
“Here, we’ll see if the girl in the travel bureau can arrange
it.”
Sergei and the young lady had a hurried conference. There
was a possibility that a scat could be arranged for “Swan Lake.”
After checking, it was impossible. The theatre was sold out for
months in advance. “But you can see ‘Raymonda’ tomorrow nighty
if you like. They’ll try to get you a ticket.”
“Shall I take it?”
“By all means. This performance is sold out, too. The clerk
is making a special effort to find a seat for you.”
“Fine. I’ll take it.”
The ticket cost about three dollars. I paid the attendant in
advance. She arranged for the ticket and told me it was not
at the Bolshoi Theatre but at the Kremlin Palace of Congresses.
“The Palace of Congresses is much newer and more beautiful.
You’ll enjoy it.”
the ballet was scheduled to start at 7:30 P.M. About 7:00

Not qualified to comment on the ballet as a critic,, we can
only speak of the entertainment value. Aristotle said that any-
thing interesting is entertaining. “Raymonda” was mimh more
than that. First performed in 1898 in St. Petersburg under Czar-
istic Russia, it allowed one to draw an historic parallel With
muric by Alexander Glazounox, it concerns the near capture of
a Hungarian princess by the Saracens and the tribulations pre-
cedim* her marriage to her fiance. The dancing was exquisite.
Once a ballerina tripped and the audience gasped then broke out
into tremendous applause.
The parallel was timely even though it concerned a present-
day satellite of the Soviet Union, Hungary. Russia has ii***f been
invaded from the East on numerous occasions. What Russia fears
