Zapashny told in which country circuses develop most of all

He answered the question whether Russian circus artists are now "the main ones in the world."

"Not.

Well, I mean, the main ones.

We are one of the most active, but China is developing the most.

First, they are building super buildings.

Secondly, they hire professionals from all over the world, ”Zapashny said.

He also said that the Bolshoi Moscow Circus and the Nikulin Moscow Circus compete on the international stage.

“There are about 20 international circus festivals where either we or Nikulin are always on the highest step of the podium.

Cirque du Soleil has even stopped going to international circus festivals, because they are not supposed to lose in terms of their image, especially the Russians, ”Zapashny said. 

Earlier, Zapashny called the most elementary tiger trick in the circus.
