plot twist: it was gennadi yanin

A masked man threw acid in the face of Sergei Filin, the artistic director of the legendary Bolshoi Ballet, on Thursday night, leaving him with third-degree burns and possibly threatening his eyesight, Bolshoi officials said on Friday morning.

[Ms. Novikova] said Mr. Filin’s personal e-mail account was penetrated and personal correspondence was published in an attempt to discredit him in the eyes of the theater’s leadership, a tactic that was also used against Mr. Filin’s predecessor.
