English words, signs and advertizing are pervasive in Russia. And its the "hip" language to young russians like those that go to Kazantip. I checked a few of my pics, and one girl had "Z in me" painted on her. The other most frequently seen words are "burn" and "sela", both trade names (Sela is a brand of clothing). I also noticed in some of my pics food and drink signs in both English and Russian. Its Kazantip alright..
