Thousands of revelers from Ukraine and abroad flocked to Crimea for a month-long Kazantip festival to listen to the best electronic DJs and indulge in complete revelry in August.

For some, the festival is a dreamland with no curfews, prohibitions and social manners. It proudly claims to be its own republic, where the only rule is that there aren’t any.

At Kazantip, everyone is equal.

On Aug. 20 everyone celebrated the grand finale of frivolous fun in a massive DJ session on the main dance floor. Blasting beats of house, punk and rave music made even some hardened clubgoers reach for earplugs.

Kazantip kept with tradition and ended with a large carnival party with balloons, glow-sticks and wigs.

In this liberated atmosphere some partiers were brave enough to impress others with their bare essentials.

After a wild night, attendees relax on the beach.
