Maria excelled and became acknowledged by critics in Anna's part in Anna Karenina ballet by Boris Eifman.
Built like an imperial Borzoi, Maria Abashova, as Anna, is eye riveting every moment she is on stage. Choreography that made the most of her physical attributes allowed her time and again to extend a line from fingertip to toe that seemed to stretch on forever. Voluminous skirted costumes reminiscent of Martha Graham's fluid jerseys, abetted the illusion of endless leg.[2]

gollark: Great!
gollark: What if I just say them very loudly and use a sound mirror thing™ positioned a few hundred metres away?
gollark: What if I secretly automate memorizing numbers?
gollark: These are mostly correlated, apparently (not typing speed and aim) so this is weird.
gollark: Yes; most people are, as it turns out, awful at typing.
