There's a Russian village
where every resident is a tightrope walker.
Traversing
a highwire may seem like a relatively uncommon ability. However, there's one
Russian community where it's a perfectly normal thing to be able to do.
In Tsovkra-1—a small, secluded village in the southern
republic of Dagestan—everyone who's physically able can walk on a tightrope in
a tradition that's existed for more than 100 years. It's even
taught in school to the village children. Even though only 400 people still
live in the region, at least 17 tightrope walkers from the area have found fame
in circuses due to their impressive aerial abilities.
