Identity
In 1969, Sedykh graduated ballet school at the Bolshoi Theater and joined the theater's company, first as a member of the corps de ballet and later as a soloist. She toured internationally in The Sleeping Beauty, The Nutcracker, The Seagull, and Anna Karenina, in which she danced alongside Maya Plisetskaya and Māris Liepa. She married the composer Victor Lebedev and moved to Leningrad. Her former boyfriend, a fellow artist from the Bolshoi, was so consumed by jealousy that he followed her to Leningrad and attempted to strangle her, then threatened her with a knife. She managed to escape without injury, but was severely shaken. Her assailant went abroad shortly afterwards. She remained married to Lebedev for ten years, and they had one son, Alexei. In 1990, Sedykh joined the company of Mark Rozovsky's Nikitsky Gate Theater in Moscow, where she continues to perform.
Natalya Sedykh is recorded as actress, ballet dancer and figure skater.
