A picture taken on October 10, 2007 shows Russian ballet dancer Sergei Filin performing a dress rehearsal of the "Lesson" ballet at the Bolshoi theatre in Moscow. Filin was hospitalised with severe burns after an assailant threw acid on his face, police said on January 18, 2013. Filin, who is a former acclaimed dancer and was appointed to his post in 2011, suffered injuries to the face, head and eyes late when the attacker cornered him near a residential house in central Moscow, police told Russian news agencies.
