Abstract
The article is dedicated to the ballet dancer L.N. Muromskaya (Chupyatova). After completing the course of the ballet department of the St. Petersburg Theater School in 1906, she was accepted into the ballet troupe of the corps de ballet of the Imperial Mariinsky Theater. She danced with such «stars» of Russian ballet as M.F. Kshesinskaya, A.P. Pavlova, T.P. Karsavina, A.Ya. Vaganova, V.F. Nezhinsky and others. In 1912, Muromskaya became the first dancer of the Mariinsky Theatre. There was only one step left before the title of ballerina, i.e., obtaining the highest rank in the hierarchy of Russian ballet theaters. She did not manage to go through this last segment of her creative path for many reasons. In 1920, at the age of 32, she committed suicide.
