Ukrainian parliament registers resolution on deputy premier's resignation.
KIEV, March 31 (Itar-Tass) - A draft resolution on dismissal of the Deputy Prime Minister in charge of humanitarian issues, Vladimir
Seminozhenko, has been registered in the Ukrainian parliament.
The motion was initiated by MP Olga Bondar who represents the
oppositionist Yulia Timoshenko bloc, the parliamentary press service said.
A number of nationalistic political forces issued demands to dismiss
Seminozhenko after his statement that Kiev might consider the idea of a
trilateral union embracing Ukraine, Russia and Belarus.
.Police patrol comes under fire in North Caucasus.
MAKHACHKALA, March 31 (Itar-Tass) - Unknown gunmen opened fire at a

the press service of Dagestan's Interior Ministry told Itar-Tass.
One policeman was wounded as a result of the incident.
"The gunmen made several volleys of automatic gunfire from the woods
at the patrol," an official said.
The incident took place at around 23:00 hours local time.
The policeman was wounded in the head and was rushed to a local

.Bolshoi ballet to be broadcast real-time to 150 movie houses in
Europe.
MOSCOW, March 31 (Itar-Tass) - French company Bel Air Media is going
to offer a remarkable treat to the lovers of dance across Europe
Wednesday, as one of the landmark Soviet ballet productions, 'The Flames
of Paris' to the music by Boris Asafyev will be broadcast in real time
from the Bolshoi Theater to 150 movie houses in France, Britain, Denmark,
Germany, Switzerland, and Ireland.
'The Flames of Paris', loosely based on the novels by the 19th century
French Provencal writer Felix Gras, was staged for the first time in
Leningrad in 1932 to mark the 15th anniversary of the Bolshevik Revolution
of October 1917.
Although its plot focuses on the events of the French Revolution of
1792, it mirrors the efforts of Russian choreographers of the time to
identify the subjects of history for their productions that would help
them to show the Russian revolution as part and parcel of the general
march of the world's revolutionary history.
Choreography designed by the outstanding Soviet master of classical
ballet, Vassily Vainonen, gained popularity with spectators virtually
overnight, especially thanks to the efforts of the Kirov /Mariinsky/
ballet prima ballerina Natalia Dudinskaya and her life-long stage partner
Konstantin Sergeyev.
In 1933, 'The Flames of Paris' was produced in the Bolshoi with
leading parts danced by Marina Semyonova and Alexei Yermolayev. It stayed
in the Bolshoi ballet company's repertoire for almost thirty years.
Like it happened to many successful stage productions later on,
however, its choreography was almost entirely lost in subsequent decades,
and the Bolshoi's director of choreography Alexei Ratmansky had to produce
his own version of it in 2008 when theater revived the ballet.
Ratmansky's production impresses by its scale and dimensions.
The four-act ballet lasts almost three hours. Engaged in it are 144
dancers, for whom more than 300 exquisite costumes have been made.
The action unfolds against the black-and-while background of painted
scenery reproducing the grandeur of Versailles and Tuileries and the Paris
barricades.
The musical score incorporates the Marseillaise that became the
anthem of the French Republic. The populous corps de ballet displays the
intricate techniques of group dance.
Wednesday's performance will feature a number of the Bolshoi ballet
stars like Natalya Ossipova, Ivan Vassilyev, Denis Saving and Nina
Koptsova.
Organizers of the broadcast said at the presentation last week this
unprecedented project will have special significance in the light of the
simultaneously held Year of Russia in France and Year of France in Russia,
as most of the cities where the audiences will be able to watch the
production are located in France.
.South Korean conservative seeking to subdue media workers.
PYONGYANG, March 31 (Itar-Tass) - Conservative forces in South Korea
are seeking to subdue the workers of mass media to their own will so as to
impede the peace reunification of the Motherland, a representative of the
Central Committee of North Korea's Union of Journalists said Wednesday in
a statement carried by the Korean Central News Agency /KCNA/.
With this objective in mind, the South Korean authorities are revising
the laws on the rights and duties of mass media, and people loyal to the
conservative regime in Seoul are promoted to the leading positions in
various departments and organizations related to journalism.
As a result, an active propaganda campaign based on misinformation and
forged facts is in full swing in the south of the Korean Peninsula, the
statement said, adding that the goal of the campaign is to frustrate an
inter-Korean reconciliation and to breed the atmosphere of mistrust and
confrontation.
The spokesman for the North Korean Union of Journalists warned that
those who try to seed discord between the Korean compatriots will
necessarily face the day of reckoning.
