Swan Lake is a ballet by composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. Tchaikovsky was a legendary composer, conductor and teacher of Ukrainian descent. His father was a member of the Ukrainian Chayok family, and his mother was the granddaughter of the French sculptor Michel-Victor Assier. The plot of the ballet Swan Lake is based on the German legend of Princess Odette and the evil sorcerer Rothbart, who turned her into a swan. Having appreciated the popularity of the ballet, in the 1930s the Soviet government decided to use it as political propaganda. In the 1980s, the ballet Swan Lake was given a special role, and Soviet secretaries general were buried under it and the coup in the USSR was kept quiet.
An interesting legend related to this mini-sculpture is told by Nadiya Popadiuk in her book Uzhhorod – the World Capital of Mini-Sculptures. According to this legend, Tchaikovsky world-famous ballet Swan Lake, a true hymn to love, youth and beauty, was composed during Petro Ilyich’s rest on Synevyr Lake. Magical nature and beauty of Transcarpathia inspired him to create this brilliant work.
