Ivanov's Nutcracker premiered in 1892 and since then, many choreographers have made their own versions of the work. This article examines two key productions in which Trepak, one of the act 2 divertissements, has remained largely unchanged—Willam Christensen's 1944 version for San Francisco Ballet and George Balanchine's 1958 version for CBS—and addresses the historical frameworks: namely, the impact of Russian Imperialism, World War II, and the Cold War that shaped them
