Vitaly Lazarenko (Лазаренко Виталий Ефимович) 1890 - 1939. A circus artist, clown, and satirist, acrobat-jumper. Honored Artist of the RSFSR (1933).
He was born in the village of Alexandro-Grushevskaya in Donbas. His father was a miner; died when his son was 8 years old. After that, Vitaly went to the fair circus. He became interested in clowning and acrobatics, especially jumping over obstacles.
