Welcome to Buckles Blog. This site is for the discussion of Circus History all over the world.
Valentin Filatov.
To me the all around best bear trainer. Met his Son and Daughter I sure went home with my tale tuck between my legs after spending four days watching their act (Wow)
His family had (& may still have) an entire circus of bears in Russia I had opportunity to meet him in 65 when he was here with the Moscow Circus 1st tour by Morris Chalfont I hadn't given bears much notice before that but oh my how incredible Trolle Rhodin had introduced me to Nicolaiavovich Kondakov who was the General Director at that time & he introduced me to Filatov all very polite with handshakes & nods but very little verbage occured
