====Russia==== In 1919, [[Vladimir Lenin|Lenin]], head of [[Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic|Soviet Russia]], expressed a wish for the circus to become "the people's art-form", with facilities and status on par with theatre, opera and ballet. The USSR nationalised Russian circuses. In 1927, the [[State University of Circus and Variety Arts]], better known as the [[Moscow State Circus|Moscow Circus School]], was established; performers were trained using methods developed from the Soviet gymnastics programme. When the Moscow State Circus company began international tours in the 1950s, its levels of originality and artistic skill were widely applauded.
