Those image and melody are recognizable everywhere. But in Russia this melody has a very specific connotation. Near 30 years ago 'Swan Lake' ballet was always aired on Soviet TV in the moments of misfortune or mental collapse of Russian authorities when they had nothing to say to the nation. The soundtrack I use is a real record of the Swan ballet broadcast on August 19, 1991 when a coup happened. The so called GKChP (the State Committee for the State of Emergency) tried to remove Gorbachev and Yeltsin from power. The whole country was waiting for answers but there was nothing on TV accept The Swan Lake. The music you can hear is just the ending of the 1st Act of the ballet. And then you can hear the rising noise of TV equipment and a rustle in the Bolshoi Theater where the ballet was recorded. The whole country was waiting with growing tensely in front of the screens when Siegfried would remove the curse from the bewitched Odette implying own destiny in her. And I think these curses are not broken until now.
