		+	Even with already highly trained gymnasts and acrobats, it took Maistrenko several years to bring the act to fruition, and its personnel changed along the way. When it was finally ready, only Sergei Borzov and the catcher A. Glebov remained from the original group; Sergei became the head of the troupe, whose other members were the flyers A. Lysianskiy and S. Kovalenko, and V. Tishchenko, E. Rozhkova, and N. Gribova.
