Pavel Ushevets, nicknamed Mustang, is a famous Ukrainian roofer (a person who climbs tall buildings and structures). He became famous for his actions in support of the Ukrainian opposition movement.
Early years of activity
Pavel Ushevets was born in Kiev in 1987. From his youth he became interested in extreme sports, taking the pseudonym Grigory Kirilenko. Also attached to him is the nickname Mustang or Mustang Wanted, which he began to use in the titles of his videos posted on the Internet hosting YouTube. Roofing became the specialization of the extreme. Roofers' task is to climb the roofs of high-rise buildings and simply visible objects to get thrills and attract attention.
The Mustang immediately became respected in its midst for overcoming great heights without belaying. He acted both in his own country and in Russia and even outside the CIS. For the first time, the Russian public learned about him in 2013, when Grigory Kirilenko managed to climb the Trinity Bridge in St. Petersburg during its layout. In 2014, Roofer became famous for repainting a star on one of Moscow's "Stalinist" skyscrapers in the colors of the Ukrainian flag. This act was committed in support of the inhabitants of Ukraine during the clashes between the current Ukrainian government and the opposition.
The Russian police failed to catch the rufer of what he had done and to arrest him. Instead, several suspected young people were caught red-handed. Upon learning of this, the extreme hastily returned to Ukraine and from there posted pictures of himself on the network during the commission of illegal actions, demanding that the Russian authorities release the innocent. After that, the Mustang was put on the international wanted list. The Ukrainian authorities refused to extradite him to Russia, citing the corresponding prohibition set out in the Ukrainian Constitution.
Rufer Mustang has become a national hero among the youth. He even auctioned one of the paint-stained sneakers, continuing to channel the proceeds to support Ukrainian resistance fighters. The lot was bought by a famous businessman from Kiev Vyacheslav Konstantinovsky for 150 thousand hryvnia.
Upon learning that the people arrested for his own deed were still not released, Roofer sent money to lawyers asking them to get them acquitted and released. In addition, the Western TV channel BBC became interested in the situation. Having contacted his representatives, Kirilenko offered them a video recording from the scene in exchange for financial support of the innocent victims of the prisoners. The deal was completed successfully.
Mustang currently
Grigory Kirilenko is also known for later joining the protesters against the current government in Ukraine, becoming one of the participants in the bloody revolution on the Maidan. In October 2014, resistance fighters awarded him a personalized weapon. From that moment on, a new chapter in the life of the already former roofer began - the military one. He volunteered for the Azov regiment and took on the pseudonym Glory to Ukraine, a popular slogan during the Ukrainian revolution.
The platoon, which includes the Ukrainian violator of the order, was sent to the Shirokino-populated point in the Mariupol direction, where one of the most intense confrontations between the militias and the security forces is observed. Participants in battles often die in this territory, but the former rufer claims that he does not feel fear and wants to direct his abilities to the benefit of protecting the Ukrainian people.
In addition to the dexterity developed over the years of training, the young man owns martial arts, and more than once assisted his comrades who got into a life-threatening situation. He is also engaged in volunteer activities: he makes video reports about the life of the civilian population during the hostilities and provides him with personal support.
