Katya Kutubaeva, who died yesterday on Pushkin Boulevard, was due to go to study at the Vaganova Academy of Russian Ballet in St. Petersburg on 25 August.

Most of the female ballerinas left for Russian colleges at the beginning of summer. The ballerinas were not allowed to miss classes, and it had become too dangerous to study under heavy bombardment. Due to some personal circumstances Katya's departure was slightly delayed, but she continued to rehearse at home in order not to lose her form. Yesterday's lesson with a famous Donetsk choreographer Galina Volodina was the first and the last for Katya.

Galina led classes for older girls, but she made an exception for Katya. Yesterday, when classes were over, Galina Volodina saw Katya off to the street on the other side of Pushkin Boulevard - her grandmother had met her.

At that moment a Ukrainian shell landed there. Katya, her grandmother and her mentor were gone.
