Sumptuous ball brings Tsarist-era Russia to London
(21 Nov 2016) LEAD IN:
The Russian Debutante's Ball in London is a night of opulence and glitz, packed with young men and women looking to recreate Tolstoy's War and Peace.
The event has become an annual tradition among the thousands of Russian speakers who live in the British capital, dubbed 'Londongrad'.
STORY-LINE:
It's a sumptuous pageant, traditionally held to introduce young aristocratic ladies of marriageable age to eligible young men.
It's a scene which recreates the grandeur of tsarist Russia, before the revolution over a century ago.
But all is not quite as it seems.
This isn't St. Petersburg, it's London's West End and many of the eligible young men here are not Russian, but members of the British Queen's Household Cavalry.
Up until the 1950s, debutante balls were also a tradition in Britain and other parts of Europe.
The most famous was the Queen Charlotte ball, dating back to the time of George III, when girls were presented to the Queen.
But after the Russian revolution of 1917 and two world wars, Europe is a very different place, and these functions can appear anachronistic.
The revival of the Russian debutante's ball is now in its fourth year, spurred on by interest from a new generation of young Russians.
Entry to the ball is strictly regulated.
A wealthy background isn't required, but expensive tickets mean attendees do need to have some cash.
VIP tickets cost from 290 to 590 British pounds (approx. 360 to 736 US dollars).
The debutantes themselves don't require tickets but they have to pay 250 pounds (approx. 312 US dollars) for the experience, which includes ballroom dance classes.
It's definitely a price worth paying, according to debutante Anastasia Kachkovska.
I was a visitor at last year's ball and so I got to experience the fairy tale. When I saw the debutantes coming down the stairs I felt this energy and I said I want to be a debutante next year. So I applied and got in.
Kachkovska is a student in London from Kiev in Ukraine.
She has spent thousands of pounds on her dress and makeup as well as flying her boyfriend to London to escort her at the ball.
A good education is a requirement here, the young women speak at least two languages and must meet other criteria such as good manners and attractiveness.
They've undertaken tests in order to be eligible for entry and they are all in full time study or employment.
Darina Martynuk is from Vladivostok.
Her partner for the evening is an officer in the Household Cavalry.
The ball organisers invite officers in the Blues and Royals to partner girls who don't already have escorts.
It's kind of a Russian tradition where women are dressed in white and men are in black suits and they meet each other and they talk and get married and it's like a really old Russian thing to do, like balls and stuff and you know we had all the rich dresses and music and everything and I just wanted to feel how it was centuries ago.
The organisers say they want to highlight Russia's rich culture and preserve it for the coming generations.
They say the ball provides a friendly social context where young men and women from across the globe meet one another and form lasting friendships.
The organisers hold auditions in Moscow and London to assess the applicant's suitability.
The women need to be young, aged between 16 and 25.
For the debutantes it's a once in a life time chance to dress like a princess and be the belle of the ball.
Organiser Alexander Smagin says the balls appeal to a society whose culture was banished by communism, but they still read Tolstoy at school and are inspired by the characters of War and Peace.
But the Times newspaper's society journalist David Oldroyd-Bolt is scathing about the revival.
