Description: "In the Soviet era, Vladimir Durov was an iconic figure of the Russian circus. A street and a theater (which are still extant) were named after him. He was said to have revolutionized animal training, and he was described as a clown-satirist whose anarchistic stance against an autocratic Tsar and his government had helped bring about the Soviet revolution."--Circopedia.
