| Одна из ролей Алексея Ванина. - ru.wikipedia.org Тренировка по цирковой борьбе. Here's one more nice film-role of Alexey Vanin. In this 1965 film called "Your son and brother" - which is something like a family story of a peasants family in Siberea - he plays the role of one of the four sons of a father who left living in a village in Siberea, while most other children moved to the cities. In the film he plays the role of wrestling trainer in a circus - as shown in this episode from the movie. Circus-wrestling culture was very big and popular show all across Russian Empire and all of Europe (and in the USA, perhaps, as well) in late 19th-early 20th century - approximately till the end of World War 1 and some time after. In the Soviet Union in 1920s, 30s, 40s and 50s circus-wrestling was still very popular. But circus wrestling was finished in the country some time in late 1950s or early 1960s. I think by 1965 the circus wrestling was finished in the USSR already. |
