Pantomimist Amarantov seeks permission to leave Soviet Union
Soviet pantomimist Boris Amarantov, tired of state control, applied for permission to emigrate after renouncing Soviet citizenship. He compares his stripped-down Moscow performances to the Kremlin era and notes artists like Rostropovich and Solzhenitsyn have left or been expelled. His case signals growing artistic restiveness under socialist realism, despite occasional travel allowances for some artists.
