If you believe, you can take a quick look at the list of Great Russian people then I must make it clear that it is completely not possible. This place is a real rich mine of noted and famous individuals. I was a bit confused so I choose one from the top three classes. Take a look..

Baryshnikov Mikhail : Ballet dancer and actor (1948)

Baryshnikov Mikhail comes the first on my list of Famous Russian people. He was born in Riga and studied in St. Petersburg. Later he joined Kirov (now known as Mariinsky) theatre in 1960 as a soloist. While on tour with a group in Canada (1974), Baryshnikov selected to remain to increase his range by including modern ballets. This incredible skillfull performer joined the North American Ballet Theatre and became its Director shortly. Besides making his well known version of the Nutcracker, he in addition has done acting with roles in White Nights and The Turning Point in Hollywood.

He had been famous for his unusual contribution in treatment of Tsarevich Alexis ' haemophilia (1907), where the best surgeons failed. He was expert at hypnotism. On occasions when Alexis started to bleed, it was Rasputin only who was able to calm down the kid, ease the agonies, furthermore slow the bleeding. His contribution gave him a reception to the court, which was exploited covetously in an abominable life of debauchery, along with dragging the picture of the court and the imperial family farther into the mud. Rasputin political influence grew soon due to his control of Tsarina Alexandra. Key military and political staff were dropped or selected according to his need. Later on some monarchists sent by Prince Yusupov murdered him.
