The Circus, known alternately as другой Цирк ('Drugoy Tsirk’. Another Circus or the Different Circus) or Цирк другого ('Tsirk Drugogo', The Circus of the Other), is an organization of The Stranger. It formerly toured primarily in Russia but came to England at some point. It was last led by Nikola Orsinov, and previously by Gregor Orsinov. Its members have been working to bring about The Unknowing.
Jonny Sims has confirmed the correct name is meant to be другой Цирк/Another Circus. However, the "Circus of the Other" name has continued to be used in canon.
