	The vertical rope act Chelnokov created there with Durova and Fomin for his graduation in 1986 was totally original, and it has opened the doors to a new style that was to attract men to a specialty usually reserved to women. His back flip catches and his rolls-down will also become classic tricks of the specialty's repertoire—at least for acrobats able to replicate them.

-Chelnokov’s act was one of the sensations of the 1987 [[Festival Mondial du Cirque de Demain]] in Paris, an edition that marked the turning point between classical and "new" circus, and was instrumental in redefining circus arts for generations to come. Chelnokov was awarded a Silver Medal in this festival, which was amazingly rich in surprises and novelties.

 After the fall of the Soviet regime and the opening of Russia to the western world, Nikolai Chelnokov joined the company of the [[Cirque du Soleil]] for its production of ''Saltimbanco'' in 1992. At Cirque du Soleil, he also developed a hand-to-hand and contortion act with his son [[Anton Chelnokov|Anton]] and his wife, Galina Karableva. (Nikolai and Galina divorced a few years later.)

-Back to Russia, Nikolai formed his own circus company, and began to create a stream of new and extremely original acts, some of which were awarded medals and prizes in several circus festivals, including the Festival Mondial du Cirque de Demain. Among those are his son [[Anton Chelnokov]]’s aerial net and [[Gyulnara Karaeva]]’s hand-balancing and contortion act in a water basin (which were both featured in Cirque du Soleil productions).
