[T]he epoch of experiments in Russian arts was cut short in the mid 20th with the closing of some studios and campaigns in mass media calling for the return to the traditions of Russian culture of the 19th century. The 1930s saw the opening of new opera and ballet theatres in Leningrad (Maly Opera House), Moscow (Moscow Art Theatre, later Stanislavsky and Nemirovich-Danchenko Theatre) and in many other Russian cities. However, despite successful expansion of ballet the monopoly of a single trend in ballet theatre resulted in cultivated sameness. Many types of spectacles were left aside, in particular one act spectacles, among them symphonic ballets and those without plot. Dance forms and dance language got much poorer as only classical dance was staged with rare use of folk motives. Any quests beyond drama ballet were announced formalistic.
