Background introduction of Russian circus

Russian Nicolin Circus, founded in 1880, is one of the earliest circuses in the world, with a history of 129 years. Thanks to the appreciation of the Russian imperial palace and empress at that time, as soon as the circus was established, its scale and colorful performing arts immediately sensationalized the world, laying a leading position for Moscow in the history of circus development in Russia and even the world. Nikolai has toured the world all the year round because of the circus, and has set foot in the United States, Italy, Germany, Austria, Japan, Romania, Singapore and other countries.

From June 5438, 2008 to 10, the circus was rated as the most popular and entertaining circus among the Russian people in the annual online ranking all over Russia.

On June 5438+February, 2008, Nicolin Circus, as one of the main members of Paris International Circus Salon, was invited to hold the largest international circus festival in history in front of Versailles Square.
