About the project
In 2024, Maria Vinogradova, leading soloist of the Bolshoi Theatre, became a Kaspersky Brand Ambassador.
This collaboration between the world's leading ballerina and the world's leading cybersecurity company communicates the importance of security in the digital world, showcases the beauty of technology through the language of ballet, and inspires the attainment of new heights.
"Invisible work – brilliant performance" is the motto of our partnership. It's the story of what lies hidden behind any great achievement or artistic masterpiece: dedication and professionalism. Thanks to these and other qualities, Russian ballet and Russian cybersecurity are the acknowledged touchstones of excellence worldwide.
Maria Vinogradova is the leading soloist of the Bolshoi Theatre. Born on June 8, 1988, in Moscow, she joined the Bolshoi Theatre in 2006 after graduating from the Moscow State Academy of Choreography. Maria was elevated to the role of leading soloist at the end of the 2014–2015 season. She performs lead roles in iconic Bolshoi productions: The Nutcracker, La Sylphide, La Bayadère, The Queen of Spades, Anna Karenina, Spartacus, and other ballets.
Photo shoot
One of the first steps in our partnership with Maria Vinogradova was a joint photo project.
The idea was to dynamically depict the unbreakable link between the physical and digital worlds: the beauty of this synergy coupled with the dangers that lurk beneath. In the photo shoot, Maria Vinogradova demonstrated the evolution of cybersecurity in three striking images.
The concept was the work of renowned Russian photographer Damir Zhukenov in collaboration with ACID Studio.

Symphony of human and technological beauty
Futuristic evolution
Cybersecurity and art have more in common than first meets the eye.
In ballet, each movement must be precise, each performer in perfect sync; it demands individual and collective control, total harmony with the artistic director.
The same is true in the world of technology. The final product we see in operation – programs, applications, security solutions – is the result of countless digital interactions, all executed to perfection.
