the kaZantip republic philosophy
the self-contained complex can only be entered and exited through one gate. however, kaZantip is not simply referred to as a holiday complex but has been symbolically proclaimed an independent “republic”. It has its own government with preZident (organiser), its own foreign ministry (communication with the imperfect world outside) with its own ministers (ministers of happiness, dance and rave, Intellect, visuals and illusions etc.) and laws. by far the most important law to obey is:
„S C H A S T I E“ – be happy and have fun!
entry is granted to those who can show a multipass, a so-called visa to kaZantip republic. this visa costs a one-off fee of 120 US dollars (2007 price) and is valid for the entire duration of your stay, be it one week or six weeks. It is valid for the whole complex and includes all ten dance floors. the entrance ticket is called a visa, somewhat ironically as it is generally very difficult for Russians and Ukrainians to obtain a visa for foreign countries. in kaZantip republic, on the other hand, everyone gets a visa (entry ticket) with no questions asked, and everyone who behaves and stays out of trouble is allowed to the visa too.
the mars complex
as a visit to the kaZantip republic can be called, without doubt, out-of-this-world it was just a matter of time until the organisers captured a real planet from the sky, namely Mars. by day the top names from the kite surfing world elite meet at the Mars site for their celebrated annual contest where it seems that they use their jumping prowess to try and capture even more stars from the sky.
and when day turns to night, earth dwellers congregate on the site of Mars with its starlit backdrop, on the faberge dance floor and the multi-level space-age trance floor. others simply marvel at a safe distance, from the elevated bridgeways, at the various strange creatures landing in the complex. feeding is forbidden by the way!
in order for earth dwellers to gain access to Mars, you first need to answer some questions in Russian on kaZantipa.net before you arrive in Popovka. only then will you gain entry to the complex. however, on arrival in kaZantip we are happy to help those earth dwellers for whom the Russian language is alien gain access to the red planet and its territory.
history
kaZantip republic first came into being as an independent event in 1992, the same year as the street parade. the origins of the kaZantip republic are to be found in an annual surfing contest which always ended with a big party. this party was extremely popular not just with the surfers but also with the growing number of spectators and visitors. as a result, it developed spontaneously from year to year to become an ever bigger and lengthier event. at the outset it went on for just a couple of days. today it goes on for 5 to 6 weeks. at the beginning it was a small insider event for a couple of hundred insiders, today it is the biggest techno, trance and house event in the world!
