Rudolf Nureyev — a glimpse of his Tatar look. ✨ This image was taken from a video and carefully edited — a real challenge, but worth it. — His face is unforgettable: exotic, intense, and deeply expressive. 🖤 ~☘️ Rudolf proudly embraced his Tatar heritage, contrasting it with Russian identity, saying : “I can’t exactly define what it is to be a Tatar and not a Russian, but I feel this difference in myself. Our Tatar blood flows somehow faster and is always ready to boil.”
