A couple of acts from the entertaining Moscow State Circus.

The Russian Circus rose to world acclaim during the Soviet period when acts from many Russian circuses united to tour the United States under the title, "The Moscow Circus." During this time, the circus, which was already important, became an even more prominent piece of culture, and a point of pride.

Russian Circus traditions include clowning, juggling, acrobatics, contortion.

The name Moscow State Circus has long been used by troupes of Russian circus performers in the West. The first such tour was in 1956 when the Moscow State Circus amazed audiences in Paris and in London.
