Abandoned Chisinau Circus

Once one of the most beautiful circuses in the Soviet Union and one of the largest circuses in the world - Chisinau Circus is now completely deserted. In the old days in this circus given by 30-to-60 and representations, and the room could accommodate about two thousand spectators. The sad spectacle.
Circus building was built in 1984.





The auditorium has a diameter of 13 m arena, 1,900 seats for spectators and 100 - for the working group.



For the beauty and convenience of the Chisinau circus was considered the best in the USSR.



In 2004, the circus was closed for repairs, since its building is not carried out any circus.



Due to lack of funding stopped repairs for a long time, the building fell into disrepair.



In recent years, he took a series of trials of the illegal privatization of the Chisinau Circus, and recently died of his director.





















In order to more fully experience the picture of what is happening, I will quote you a few lines from a poem by Alexander Karchevsky
I climbed to the circus pozabroshenny old,
I wander through the hushed and sad scene.
Silence under the dome - the punishment seems,
He ... for Pierce laughter time ...
Swaying ropes, breathing into the voids
The illusion of life. Lying details
With the remnants of the former gilding on them.
All doors are open. All the windows are broken ...
And cells forgotten roar growl
And the birds fluttering wings trimmed
In my pants viscous of silence ...
