Anna Pavlova

**Anna Pavlova** (St Petersburg, 12 February 1881 – The Hague, Netherlands, 23 January 1931)  was a Russian, and later English, ballerina of the early 20th century. 

She is widely regarded as one of the finest classical ballet dancers in history. She was a principal artist of the Imperial Russian Ballet and the Ballets Russes of Serge Diaghilev. 

Pavlova is most recognised for dancing the rôle of *The Dying Swan*. She danced this short ballet (only four minutes) about 4000 times. The choreography was by Mikhail Fokine. Her interpretation influenced the way others danced Odette in Tchaikovsky's *Swan Lake*.

In 1956 a film *The Immortal Swan* included footage of her dancing in the 1920s.

She toured Australia and New Zealand in the 1920s. This was probably how the sticky Australian cake became known as the 'Pavlova'.

The **Bismarck herring** is pickled fresh, filleted Baltic Sea herring, traditionally packed in small wooden barrels.

Johann Wiechmann had a store in Stralsund, Germany, and his wife, Karoline, prepared the herring for sale. Wiechmann admired Otto von Bismarck and sent a barrel on Bismarck's birthday.

When the German Empire was created, Wiechmann  sent Bismarck a second barrel but this time asked to name the herrings after him. Bismarck agreed, and the original recipe of Bismarck herring was sold until the end of World War II. It was revived in 1997 in Stralsund.
