Here's an example: if, say, the next day I have to move a thousand kilometers, I will go to bed no later than ten in the evening in order to be on my feet early. Askold will slowly pack his things until two or three o’clock in the morning... I’m shaking from such leisurely behavior.”

Walter Zapashny is a world famous tamer. His tough character, amazing will and success with women were legendary. ABOUT privacy trainer and the everyday life of “taming” he tells famous son Edgard.

Third generation

My dad is from the third generation of circus performers. His grandfather, Carl Thompson, was a clown. Grandfather's daughter, Lydia Karlovna, married Mikhail Zapashny. Before his marriage, Zapashny worked as a loader at the port and was very physically developed. So he was accepted into Ivan Poddubny’s room without any problems. Then Mikhail and his young wife did their own act, and they performed as acrobats.

My grandfather had five children: Sergei, Walter, Mstislav, Igor and Nona.

Dad was born in 1928, and his childhood, of course, was spent in the circus, constantly moving with his touring parents. When he turned thirteen, the war began. My grandfather went to the front, but the whole family remained in Leningrad - they were caught in a blockade. But, fortunately, they managed to get out of the encirclement. In 1943, the Zapashnys joined the front-line artistic brigade and traveled around the country performing until the end of the war. Walter and Mstislav were the first to create a circus act. They, like their parents, were also craft acrobats, but with vaulting elements (this is when acrobats also throw each other). Then Nona and Igor joined them. With the act “acrobatic vaulting” Walter, Mstislav, Igor, Sergey and Nona won the First World Festival of Youth and Students.

In 1958, dad turned 30. A turning point. He realized that he had outgrown acrobatics and wanted to do something completely new. And he had the idea to build the first oceanarium in the USSR, his father began knocking on the thresholds of executive committees. But they didn’t take him seriously there. Then dad had another idea: he submitted 12 applications at once for different attractions with completely different animals: deer, elk, bison and tigers - as long as he was given the opportunity to advance...

Ogress

Dad understood that the most difficult thing was to perform a number with predators at the Union State Circus. And so it turned out - almost all the masters of the circus of that time spoke out against my father. The fact is that training is really a very difficult matter, you can’t just get into it. There were many cases when people could not cope, and they were killed by animals, or they themselves maimed the animals. That's why officials were afraid. But dad still achieved his goal - the famous trainer Eder vouched for him and even began to train him.

After three years of rehearsals, right at the premiere, a tragedy occurred: a tigress attacked her father. He ended up in intensive care for two months. And then there was a choice: either end my career or continue, and if I continue, then with what animals? He understood that no one would give him new ones, and it was dangerous to work with old ones. Dad decided to work with those animals that had recently nearly torn him apart - the tigress Bagheera inflicted more than forty lacerations on him and bit his spine. Having attacked, and successfully, once, she felt her strength and, of course, will try to do it again. And one more thing: when dad began to delve into the history of the tigress who attacked him, who was brought to the USSR from Germany, he found out that there Bagheera killed the wife of a German trainer, and before that, in nature, there were many corpses behind her. But after that, dad worked with Bagheera for another 15 years. He loved her very much, and says that she is one of the most talented with whom he worked: an excellent memory, physically built beautifully... But in general, dad got it very badly, the animals tore him badly, he is covered in scars and, at the very least, , I was in intensive care three times.

Walter Zapashny knew how to be both affectionate and tough - both with children and animals

With a tiger on a leash

Dad was married twice. His first wife, Maritza, is also from a circus dynasty; at the beginning of her career she performed with the “rubber” act (this is when a person bends in all directions), and then began working with dad and predators. Dad and Maritza worked together for many years. Their number thundered not only in the Union, but also abroad. But in 1975, the marriage of my father and Maritsa was already on the brink. Dad was in Kalinin (present-day Tver) for rehabilitation after an injury (he was torn to pieces by a black panther) and, while walking along the street, he noticed beautiful girl, who greeted his friend. Dad found out that she was a student at a local institute and asked to give a lecture there. He came to the institute with a tiger on a leash. I gave a lecture, then found that girl in the hall and said right from the stage: “I really like you, let’s meet.” He was forty-seven and she was eighteen. It was my mother. My father had just arrived from Australia, he had a cowboy suit, and he came to my mother on a date at night on a horse. It was impossible to resist. Dad knew how to look after. And exactly a year later I showed up. And a year later - my brother Askold. When dad divorced Maritsa, the communist Zapashny was censured for “ amoral behavior in everyday life” and was banned from traveling abroad for 15 years.

Little Edgard and Askold played with tiger cubs since childhood. Under the supervision of dad and mom, of course

Kids in a cage

As a child, like most circus children, my father and I always went everywhere. He only stayed for six months in Moscow or St. Petersburg. In other cities - for a maximum of two months. Therefore, my brother and I changed five or six schools a year. Dad never did homework with us and never showed up at our school. But he checked the diary and very harshly, sometimes cruelly punished for bad grades. Our education always came first for dad. He was not as demanding at rehearsals as he was about our school affairs. For a three he could easily hit him, deprive him of anything. He hired us additional teachers, piano and drawing tutors. On the other hand, he spoiled us a lot. Dad was a highly paid artist. The salary in the country was 75-120 rubles per month, and dad received 25 rubles per appearance, with a norm of 35 performances per month, i.e. he received more than a thousand rubles a month! That's why we had everything at home. Dad bought the most expensive toys, and bought our first computer for 5 thousand rubles at an auction in Riga. At the same time, I repeat, for bad grades or poorly worn socks during rehearsal, the scars on our bodies did not go away for several days.

Every year we all went to the circus recreation center near Adler. But for my brother and I there was practically no rest there. At 7 in the morning we ran a cross-country race, then “I stood up on my hands, pulled myself up, did push-ups”... We came to the beach while we were swimming, dad looked for comfortable pebbles for us. And as soon as my brother and I came out of the water, he put them in our fists, like supports for tightrope walkers, and we began to make stands on these pebbles...

The first time my brother and I entered the cage was either in first or second grade. We then lived in Saratov and quite often took our classmates to rehearsals. And somehow I muttered - Dad, can I go into the cage? And dad realized that I was a “pontyar”. And he says - let's do it. He removed the most dangerous animals, but still there were probably about fifteen lions and tigers in the cage. So, when the cage was opened, my brother and I regretted asking for it. We are numb, and there is no turning back! They hugged dad's legs on both sides, and he made a circle around the arena. We left the cage feeling like heroes. But then for six or seven years they didn’t even talk about it. We quickly realized that everything there was for real.

Between a lion and a horse

In 1998, dad officially retired. We celebrated his seventieth birthday on the stage of the Kremlin Palace (by the way, this was the first and only full-fledged program, which was called “Tigers in the Kremlin”). But even now it’s very difficult to get praise from dad. If he says “fine”, it’s already a holiday. Even when my brother and I won competitions, and the audience rose, he came up to us and grumbled: well, why isn’t this so? What prevented you from doing better? He always wanted everything to be perfect, for us to be the best. And he was just as demanding of himself, he always wanted to do what others wouldn’t do. And he did the impossible. For example, among the miners there are probably those who go only to proven mines, and those who break through new ones. So dad, figuratively speaking, was one of those who break through. He walked and tested for himself whether it would work or not. As a result, he did things that no one can repeat to this day. For example, an attraction with three lions harnessed. Just think about it! You need three lions that can easily be torn, placed next to each other, put harnesses on them... This is almost impossible. Or this number in which two horses are galloping around the arena, a lion runs out and jumps on them. And in the center is dad on a horse. I know how to do this purely technically. But I have seen ten rehearsals go smoothly, and at the eleventh the lion jumps not on the horse, but into the horse, or the lion tries to jump, and the horse freaks out and meets him with its hind legs. Or the lion jumps, and the horse slips, they fall together, and the lion begins to rush, and the horse cannot get up because of the heavy harness. There are a million situations when dad found himself between a lion and a horse. My father had about five such serious tricks. My brother and I understand how to do some of his numbers, but we still can’t decide.
