It was a bright evening, spent on the beach complex in Kiev. Ivana Kupala is an ancient Slavic feast, celebrated during the night from 6th to 7th of July.

Ivana Kupala originally is a pagan feast of beauty, youth and purifying. Our ancestors believed that during this night dark forces wake up and wander through the villages, waiting for the victim. That is the reason why traditionally during the Ivana Kupala night no one should sleep.
