- Notes // Примечания: Painted his body with black paint for the role of a slave in Scheherazade ballet, shown on January 16; died of intoxication. “Members of the local Russian ballet volunteered the information that Boulativ recovered from an attack of typhoid fever about a month ago, and that his death might have been due to the reappearance of the disease. But an autopsy found a layer of blood clots next to the inner layer of skin, a common occurrence in the case of death caused by toxins which find their way into the bloodstream through the pores. Doctors stated the man had died of poisoning, and most likely the poison was lead, a mineral commonly used in the manufacture of make-up.”
