 This latter act, which had been staged by [[Valentin Gneushev]] and had won a Gold Medal at the [[Festival Mondial du Cirque de Demain]] in Paris in 1993, was in fact at the root of Valery Rodion’s act. After Nikolai Zemskov’s untimely and sudden death during the [[International Circus Festival of Monte Carlo]] in 1995, his act was taken over for some time by its remarkable flyer, [[Igor Boitsov]].

-Then, when the Boitsov Troupe eventually dissolved, its principal catcher, Andrey Mikheev, decided to create a different act, albeit in keeping with the style created by Gneushev for the Zemskov Troupe.  He already had Valery Rodion, who was the act’s second catcher, and a talented young flyer, [[Konstantin Gvodetsky]].  They began a search for a female flyer who could replicate or improve upon Boitsov’s work. While they were trying new flyers at [[Circus Nikulin]], Valentin Gneushev observed from the wings.

-Gneushev gave his opinion, generally doubtful or frankly negative on each of the girls. Then he noticed Anna Gosudareva, a very talented former gymnastics European champion, and suggested her to Mikheev. The new act thus came to shape. The Mikheev Troupe troupe made its debut at Circus Nikulin, and then went on to perform extensively in Europe, and in Mexico. Valery Rodion eventually took over the leadership of the group, which became the Rodion Troupe.

 In 2005, the Rodion Troupe participated in the [[International Circus Festival of Monte Carlo]], where Anna Gosudareva became the first woman ever to complete a quadruple somersault on the Russian Barre. This extraordinary feat, as well as the rest of her work, won the Rodions the Gold Clown award, the highest international honor in circus arts.

-The Rodion Troupe returned to Monte Carlo in 2006, invited to participate in the extraordinary star-studded circus gala organized in tribute to the late Prince Rainier III of Monaco&mdash;arguably one the most extraordinary and unforgettable circus show ever staged. The Rodions made an American appearance in the [[Big Apple Circus]] production of ''Play On!'' two years later, in 2008. Eventually, Anna Gosudareva retired from performing, and Valery Rodion teamed up with Dmitriy Murashev and the flyer Zhong Zhiwei to create a new Trio Rodion. They participated in the International Youth Festival of Circus Arts at [[Circus Nikulin]] in Moscow in 2014, where they won its coveted Golden Elephant.
