Odd Places To Find Romanovs - TV Series - Comedy Shows - Movies
Vive_HIH_Aleksey:
Someone asked on the Nijinsky thread if anyone skated any programs about the Romanovs. Here are two photos of the only one that I know of. 4 time world champions and Olympic champions Natalia Bestamianova and Andrei Bukin, 1988 Olympic ice dance champions.

I don't know what the music is, but the program is titled, RASPUTIN. It is one of their trademark programs and is regarded by many to be "over-the-top." But I must say those who say that probably don't know the story/legend. Bukin "dies" four times in the 7+ minute program, and that's just at the beginning. At the end he and Natalia both die, to my recollection, to the sound of gunshots.
Katia:
Wow! Isn't Andrei Bukin some Rasputin... Look at his eyes... :o
I remember B&B well, and I've seen some photos of the "Rasputin" routine before, but never seen that program live! Do you know if it can be downloaded somewhere?
And yes, there were mentions that "Anastasia" program has been performed by some skaters, for example Tara Lipinski...
Thanks, Katia

You asked the right girl!
go to
www.rinkside.org and follow the instructions there to download the software program DC++ and then once you have it, and it's set up to RinkSide (the instructions are all there!) Search for Rasputin, you should be able to find it! The best performance (well the only performance I saw) was 1995 Legends.
RinkSide is a JACKPOT for skating programs. We're talking Peggy Flemming's Olympic program, Toller Cranston, Torvil and Dean, even junior programs. I even have Gordeeva and Grinkov's 1982 Junior Worlds program, they skated an adorable program to Ice Castles. The audio is poor and it's in black and white but it's still amazing. Of course you can get recent stuff too, like the 2004 Marshall's Challenge. You can even have Japanese, Canadian, Russian, and French National Championships. Also, most of the stuff I downloaded has Japanese commentary, how cool is that? I downloaded Ina and Zimmerman's program to At The Beginning (this was one of their very first together!) and it was wonderful. You can hear American commentary and in the background you can hear Japanese commentary too. And you can chat. I'm sure you'll be right at home there! Should you see me, my SN is AnyaNikolaievna hehe.
