Because most eJuggle articles are in English or Spanish, and many jugglers don’t know any Russian, it was suggested to me to curate a collection of Russian juggling videos, especially older or lesser known ones, that many readers may not have seen before. I will also try to include some of the best examples of the videos of Russian and Soviet jugglers that you may be familiar with as well. I hope you enjoy these twenty videos. I do know that some of these jugglers have immigrated to other countries and may consider themselves a new nationality. I also apologize if I’ve mistaken someone as Russian who is actually from Ukraine or another country. Feel free to contact me with further examples that I can consider adding to this collection in part three. We’ll start off with some jugglers and videos that might be familiar to you already.
