held at the Exposition.
"The
Russian circus is one of the best in the world, and we have a lot to be proud
of. More than 1000 people take part in our today's circus procession. These are
both adult masters of their craft and young talents. They presented all circus
genres to the visitors," said Anastasia Zvyagina, Deputy Director General

The
participants of the event, including artists of Zapashny Circus, circus
universities and Rosgoscirc, marched in a solemn procession accompanied by a

us," she said.
