Background
- Scope and content:
-
A collection of photographs, videos, and research files related to the Russian ballet dancer and choreographer Leonid Yakobson (1904-1975), donated by Stanford dance professor Janice Ross, who used this material to write a monograph on Yakobson: "Like a Bomb Going Off: Leonid Yakobson and Ballet as Resistance in Soviet Russia."
Most of the collection is annotated with notes and identification in Russian, some of which is translated into English. There are also notes from Ross as she organized her files. Many of the photographs are reprinted in the book. Yakobson's wife Irina, who taught at the San Francisco Ballet School in the 1980s and 90s, provided Ross with much of this collection. Other sources include former dancers and Russian archives.
