Moscow's best-known permanent venues include the Nikulin Circus on Tsvetnoy Boulevard and the Great Moscow State Circus on Vernadsky Prospekt. Touring shows labeled Moscow State Circus may not be identical to either resident organization.

Programs commonly feature aerialists, acrobats, jugglers, clowns, and technically demanding balance acts. Russian circus training developed through state institutions during the Soviet period, giving productions a strong emphasis on athletic technique.
