Zoo in Yalta is on strike. First time for the first 10 years zoo does not take visitors. Oleg Zubkov, zoo principal supposes tha establishment’s staff only this way can express its protest against non-democratic elections in Ukraine. Empty paths is an extraordinary spectacle for zoo `Kazka` workers. They say that zoo never stopped its work even on sanitary days. But now orange flag and poster, which explains to visitors the reason why they and their children cannot observe animals, are hung out. People who come here not only from Crimea, but from other Ukrainian cities as well, treat action of protest with understanding. According to Oleg Zubkov’s words, `Kazka` is the first zoo in Ukraine that is payed for itself. Hundreds of people come here every day. Material expenses at strike are obvious. However, staff made this step consciously.
