A Russian court on Tuesday sentenced a Bolshoi dancer found guilty of an acid attack on the troupe's artistic director to six years in a penal colony, in the finale to a sensational case that exposed the dark backstage of the storied institution. Former soloist Pavel Dmitrichenko plus his two co-defendants were found guilty of inflicting premeditated grievous bodily harm on the Bolshoi Ballet's artistic director Sergei Filin, ruled Judge Yelena Maksimova. Dmitrichenko, who was known for dancing dark characters like Ivan the Terrible, masterminded the plan to attack Filin because he was unsatisfied with how he was managing dancers, the judge said during the course of a three-hour-long hearing. "Dmitrichenko was unhappy with the way Filin allocated roles and bonuses to dancers, Dmitrichenko worked out a criminal plan," Maksimova said in the final hearing of the trial that has gripped the ballet world for weeks.
