The Republic of Kazantip. What is happiness?

What is Kazantip? What is happiness? For the residents of the Republic of Z these two questions complement each other. And all because the main slogan there is happiness. Now Kazantip is in the village of Popovka near the town of Saki in the Crimea. But the festival had to pretty much rest, before settling in this place.

The history of the festival began with the usual fanboard competitions that took place near the city of Shchelkino in the Crimea. In those days, when the weather did not contribute to the sport, the participants held contests and parties. Needless to say, that bad weather was almost always? At the time of the first competition, only 400 people participated, then the number increased to 1,000 guests from the capital. In 2000, their number reached a mark of 10 000 people from all regions of the country. Such indicators were achieved thanks to sponsors who supported the festival from its very founding. Undoubtedly, numerous photos of vivid events that influenced the population growth did not leave anyone indifferent.

Perhaps, so many different traditions and fetishes have only Kazantip. What is a yellow suitcase with chrome corners, know, probably, all the boys and girls. This symbol was taken from the famous Soviet film "The Adventures of a Yellow Suitcase." Each such accessory is individual and not like the other. He is a pass to the "republic of happiness" and overgrown with legends. It depicts anything. For compliance with the standards of this style, the government of the Republic exempts from paying a visa.
