At the beginning of the 20th century in St. Petersburg there was a moon park with a "human zoo"
In 1912-1918, the Moon Park with an American hills, a “damn wheel” and a “human zoo” worked in the St. Petersburg Kolomna. There, in the scenery of the “authentic African village”, dark -skinned people (men, women and children), whom the organizers called the “Somalians” lived. The St. Petersburg audience came to the Moon Park for the attractions, in the cinema and to the theater. In 1913, Vladimir Mayakovsky spoke in it-as the author, director and leading actor in the same tragedy.
