Pavel Dmitrichenko poses for pictures in front of the Bolshoi Theatre in central Moscow on November 29, 2016. Three years ago Bolshoi soloist Pavel Dmitrichenko swapped the limelight of the legendary theatre for prison after being convicted of ordering an acid attack that rocked the ballet world. Released midway through a five-and-a-half-year sentence this summer for good behaviour, Dmitrichenko has resumed training at the Bolshoi and says he dreams of making a comeback on one of the world's most celebrated stages. / AFP PHOTO / Yuri KADOBNOV / TO GO WITH AFP STORY BY Gabrielle TETRAULT-FARBER
