In fact, Circus Maxim Nikulin loved, but he was not going to tie his destiny with him, did a successful career in various media: he was a journalist leading to radio and television. For the soul - played on the drums and guitar in the quartet, which sometimes gave concerts. Twice married unsuccessfully, and for the third time I was found my happiness. And everything went to your woman until the force majeure happened ...
The fate of Maxim Nikulina decided the case. Unhappy. The director of the circus manager on color boulevard was killed, and Maxim Yuryevich at this difficult moment came to his father to help in matters. And stayed. His sons also work in a circus. Photos, old and not very, allow you better to look at this creative family. Riding the pictures, Nikulin recalled the lucky minutes spent with the dad, the Scottish romantic fairy tale and the princess, which cooked pasta.
1 (main photo). "We are with your father next to our house on a small armor. I am a high school student, I have already started smoking. But no one in the family did not scold me for it. There were, of course, conversations that "resin" is harmful, but some sluggish. Because everything around smoked. And it would be somehow illogical - to do it yourself and scold me. My father has always had a good relationship. He never brought up me specifically, except for a personal example. "
