Mustang Wanted


Pavlo Gennadiyovich Ushivets, better known as Mustang Wanted, is a Ukrainian urban climber and Internet celebrity. He is known for the high-altitude stunts he performs around the world with little or no safety equipment.

Overview

On 19–20 August 2014, he climbed Kotelnicheskaya Embankment Building, one of the Seven Sisters, painted the spire in blue and raised the Ukrainian flag on the top of the building. He dedicated the performance to Independence Day of Ukraine. He suggested online that he was willing to be arrested by Russian police in exchange for the release of Ukrainian pilot Nadya Savchenko, who was captured by pro-Russian forces in eastern Ukraine and abducted to Russia. He received the 2014 Troublemaker Award for this stunt.
Mustang Wanted, who identifies himself as Heorhiy, is a resident of Kyiv. Among other buildings, he has climbed Vienna's Votivkirche, Princess Tower in Dubai and Most SNP in Bratislava.
In September 2016, Ushivets attended the Toronto Film Festival, where he participated in the announcement of a new film based on his exploits and those of three additional Russian climbers. The film title is We Kill Death, and it will be produced by Alex Ginzburg and Tony Lee. In August 2017, Ushivets, during an interview with the Russian service of Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, announced that he will not do any more "provocative stunts" in Russia.
