Aksenov was not invited to watch the ballet with Putin
The head of the Republic of Crimea, Sergei Aksenov, was not present yesterday at the opening of the Opera in Chersonesos festival, where Russian President Vladimir Putin arrived.
Technically, Sevastopol is a different federal subject, but Aksyonov always visited the city during visits by top government officials. Now, he didn't leave his vacation to see the ballet with the president, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
On the first day of the festival, world ballet stars performed on a stage built in an archaeological reserve, performing roles from legendary European productions - “Corsair”, “Giselle”, “Swan Lake”, “Don Quixote”.
In addition to Sevastopol Governor Dmitry Ovsyannikov, the ballet with the head of state was watched by Deputy Prime Minister Olga Golodets and businessman Arkady Rotenberg, whose companies built the Crimean Bridge.
