KaZantip fights with Internet agency

As you know, every summer in the Crimea, the international youth festival "KaZantip" ("Republic Z") takes place. This is a very fashionable event where “advanced” young people from Ukraine, Russia, Belarus and other countries come together. But not always the trip to “KaZantip” ends successfully. A week ago, an interview with Gleb Bihnevich, a Russian tourist who returned from the festival with a concussion, appeared on the website of the Russian news agency Regnum .

In an interview, the Russian spoke about the "mass beating of tourists," which happened on July 31 in a cafe in the Republic Z territory. According to him, an organized column of a hundred people with iron rods, chains and batons approached the cafe, beat 20-30 people, and robbed some. After that, the police officers appeared and brought the victims to the station, where they were treated like gangsters. After that, Russian tourists went back to their homeland and appealed to the press, namely to the Regnum online information agency.

The story got the widest resonance . For several days, the interviews reprinted Internet agencies and official media, including the newspaper Komsomolskaya Pravda in Ukraine . The scandal was so loud that the Council of Ministers of Crimea was forced to organize a special press conference on this topic.

Director of “Kazantip” Nikolay Karpov spoke at the press conference. He said that the Russians themselves beat the Ukrainian guard, and then a mass brawl began, which ended with the arrest of seven tourists. The director of KaZantip also accused the Internet agency Regnum of inflating the scandal. “Your editors took the money for this black PR, I am one hundred percent sure,” said Karpov.

The deputy chief of the local police department also said that the Russian tourists were to blame for everything: they had been brawling from the very morning, trying to take off their panties from the girls who had a rest and hit the guard. In the evening, the offended guard called his friends and there was a mass brawl.

Which is characteristic, both the director of “Kazantip” and the police officer claim that the Russian tourist Gleb Bihnevich several times threatened the festival management and policemen with arranging “black PR” via the Internet. If so, he did it perfectly well. Now KaZantip guards will be much more polite with tourists, especially with Internet users.
