Ballerina Zakharova compared the work of cosmonauts and ballet dancers

“The work of an astronaut is, of course, a heroic work, it is a feat.

I always say: every ballerina's appearance on the stage is also such a small feat, ”she noted in the RT video on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of Yuri Gagarin's space flight.

According to Zakharova, in order to work in these professions, you need to overcome your fears and be ready for heavy physical exertion.

“The physical activity is very hard for ballet dancers.

The first thing that comes to mind is the work of an astronaut.

Of course, their overloads are many times stronger ... Such self-courage should be, complete dedication and great love, I think, for space and for her profession, ”said the Russian ballerina.

Earlier, People's Artist of Russia Oleg Mityaev recalled how cosmonaut Sergei Krikalev, during a flight into space, asked him to come to the Mission Control Center (MCC) and sing for the crew.
