In a post from November, Tefft recounts an outing to the Bolshoi Theater and reflects on how culture and ballet helped build a bridge between the American and Russian peoples during the Cold War, before concluding: Regardless of what problems divide our governments, I think that Russians and Americans are united in their admiration of the beauty of ballet, which reflects our shared human experiences through the language of dance and music.
Независимо от того, какие проблемы разделяют наши правительства, я думаю, что русские и американцы едины в своей любви к красоте балета, которая отражает наши общие человеческие переживания языком танца и музыки.
