Nikulin—the “Old Circus” on Tsvetnoi Boulevard—and the Bolshoi Circus, on Vernadsky Avenue, the title “Moscow Circus” was originally a generic title for the Soviet circus troupes that traveled abroad, in shows produced by the Soviet central circus organization, SoyuzGosTsirk. The Moscow Circus did its first western tour in 1956, debuting in February at the Cirque Royal in Brussels, Belgium. The next stage was the Palais des Sports in Paris, which became a main venue for its European tours over the years. To the Western audiences, the Moscow Circus was a revelation: the secretive Soviet Union disclosed to the world how the circus has evolved both technically and artistically in their country, notably since the opening of the groundbreaking Moscow’s State College for Circus and Variety Arts in 1927, the world’s first circus university. The fall of the Soviet Union in 1991 saw an exodus of Russian circus artists, who settled all over the world—and even those who stayed in Russia began working independently. Although SoyuzGosTsirk, which had changed changed its name to RosGosTsirk, tried to revive the tours of the Moscow Circus, the economics had changed, and it had become difficult to support the huge traveling troupes of 60 to 100 persons that made the old Moscow Circus shows in the Soviet era.
