Blagovesta Zlotmachinskaya

Blagovesta Zlotmachinskaya. Ever since her auspicious debut as the Left Nostril in the ballet extracted from The Nose by Gogol, Blagovesta has shown a unique appreciation of her homeland’s literary heritage. Back home in Kiev, she is best known as the star of the hit television show Challenge Anna Karenina, in which the eponymous heroine of Tolstoy’s classic novel seeks to expose the fin de siècle malaise at the heart of pre-Revolutionary Russia with the aid of a helicopter and walkie-talkie.
