Profile: Pavel Dmitrichenko
By 2006, he had been thinking of quitting ballet "after a year or two", he told Russia 24, but the artistic director of the time, Yuri Grigorovich, persuaded him after The Golden Age that ballet was his calling.
Among the roles that followed were Spartacus in the ballet of the same name (2009) and Jose in Carmen Suite (2010).
Ivan the Terrible (2012) was seen by his tutor, Alexander Vetrov, as being potentially his "role of a lifetime".
As the soloist's career progressed, Ms Vorontsova did not achieve similar leading roles and Russian media have speculated that Dmitrichenko blamed Mr Filin for blocking her advancement unfairly.
When news broke of his arrest, a police source told Izvestia newspaper: "The main motive was enmity towards Filin, who according to the suspect, had a negative attitude towards his partner.
"Dmitrichenko said that Filin was thwarting Vorontsova's artistic career and did not give her the main roles."
Sergei Filin's wife, Maria Prorvich, told Komsomolskaya Pravda newspaper she believed Ms Vorontsova was unlikely to have been the only cause of the conflict.

The year ballet wept… jealousy & rivalry at the Bolshoi
So 29-year-old Bolshoi dancer Pavel Dmitrichenko will go to prison for six years, and his career obviously ends here. His biography has been taken down from the company’s website and soon his picture will disappear from the ‘leading soloists’ page.
What a lot of damage he’s caused: to himself, the international reputation of the Bolshoi company and Russian ballet in general, and mostly to Sergei Filin, the Bolshoi’s Ballet Director.
