Many years ago, the festival of modern electronic music "Kazantip", known throughout the world, was held on the beach of Popovka. For the festival, buildings and unusual art objects were built right on the shore, which have now become the main attraction in Popovka and Mirny. To walk among these strange objects, and at the same time relax on the excellent sandy beach, even come here from neighboring resorts, for example from Yevpatoria and Saki.
Today, some objects have been made into something like rides that you can climb and climb (but be careful), and some work as cafes and beach bars with music. And by the way, it will be interesting here not only for adults, but also for children who are very happy to climb the intricate structures of Z. City.
"Kazantip" ( since 2000 - "Kazantip" , since 2003 - "Republic Z") - music and sports event in the rave format, held in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea annually from 1993 to 2013, characterized by a special ideology, philosophy and concept, non-standard for events of this kind. One of the most famous rave festivals of the post-Soviet space. The obligatory location of the event is the Sea coast as a symbol of rest and detachment from worldly problems.
The author, leader and ideological inspirer of the project is Nikita Marshunok. From 2001 to 2013, the administration of economic activities was carried out by LLC "Center for youth initiatives "Zebra" under the leadership of Nikolai Karpov.
The festival has been repeatedly accused as a "drug festival with a philosophy of debauchery" and caused public outrage. During the festivals on its territory, the distribution of narcotic substances and other crimes were repeatedly recorded.
In early March 2016, the authorities of the Republic of Crimea, together with the Office of the Federal Drug Control Service, announced a ban on holding a "festival of pro-drug youth subcultures" on the territory of the Republic.
