Where is Kazantip or how to get to Mars

Do you want to find Kazantip? And what to look for it. It is enough to enter into the search engine's line the word "kazantip" and complete information together with a detailed map - to your order. Perhaps, it will be in any other case, but not with the festival. Most likely, Google will provide full information about the peninsula of the same name, which is on the Ukrainian Black Sea coast. And yet, where is Kazantip, the very festival that the whole world is talking about?

What is "Kaz Antip"?

Almost all mass media call this phenomenon "Kazantip Festival". But the organizers themselves and the participants are against such a definition. They say that the name "Republic of Kazantip" is more appropriate. And let no one be embarrassed by the fact that this state can not be found on any map and life in it boils only a month.

But! As in any country, there is a president, a government, a great people, a constitution, a morals police with its "UK" and even a visa department. All seriously, gentlemen! Everyone has his own rights and, most importantly, his duties.

The president undertakes to hold Kazantip every year and to refuse this pleasure is not going to. The responsibility for organizing the good mood, quality sound, unique lighting, boiling emotions and realization of illusions fell on the shoulders of the government.

The Constitution consists of 16 articles, and every representative of the great people must read them at least once. According to the constitution, Kazantip is a state that does not have territory, but with its borders, which freely moves in space. The state color is orange.

And what about the people? Where Kazantip is located, representatives of the great people should be happy, sing, have fun, dance and "do whatever they want or do nothing if they do not want to do anything" (quote from the Constitution).

The birth of Kaz antipa

Two dozen years ago, windsurfing fans organized competitions off the Black Sea coast in the town of Shchelkino on the Kazantip peninsula, where an abandoned unfinished nuclear power plant is located. Participants of the competition (78 people) came to support 600 fans. The then president of the windsurfing club, and now the president of Kazantip, organized a musical accompaniment to raise the mood. Naturally, the sound was relatively quiet, and the scale of what is happening is not so global.

This event is considered the birth of the festival Kazantip, which lasted 8 years. It did not become in 2000, and the republic of Kazantip came to replace it. A new Free Orange State was born, which moved to the Crimean village of Popovka, where Kazantip is currently located. Every year more and more freedom-loving people came here. And today there are more than 100 000 people in the republic.

Virtual in reality

For what does such a large number of people want to go to the Orange State? Here, connoisseurs of freedom and modern music will meet with DJs, musicians, dancers and simply talented people who come from all over the world. A virtual state with ten dance floors, two cinemas, numerous restaurants and bars is located on several square kilometers of reality. And also there is an uncountable number of intricate structures.

All this splendor is equipped with acoustic and lighting equipment, which at night turns into a space station. There are their traditions:

• The opening of the Republic;
• Atomic nights;
• Wedding;
• Frik parade;
• New Year;
• Party closure.

Eyewitnesses and participants argue that this event can not be forgotten, like a journey into children's dreams and desires or a flight to Mars.

Interestingly, and the remaining 11 months in the year where Kazantip is located? Maybe on Mars?
