In recent months in Kiev, there are more and more young people-extremals who are keen on catching up. Young people ride on the roofs of the subway and electric trains, shooting it on video. Then, of course, spread all the network, counting on millions of views. Some manage to achieve what they want and even earn some money on it, but for most of them, such trips end tragically: at best, serious injuries, and often death.

So, on June 22, a guy was killed in Kiev, caught on the subway. And this is the second case in less than a month, which brings to mind the sad tendency.

In this regard, the "Observer" talked to one of the former Kiev extremists, who wished to hide his name in secret, in order to find out what pushes young people to madness.

- Have you been engaged in a long time? Can you briefly explain to me what is the buzz here?.

- I have not done it for a long time already. And the buzz is that at first you feel freedom, riding on trains: the wind in the face, the flying and constantly changing landscape, the sun in the eyes. An alternative to a cabriolet in hot weather.

- First time? And then?.

- Then the feelings are the same, but we are people, quickly get used to everything and want something new, no less interesting and free. Man and the cabriolet gets used after a while.

- And you left because of the pall or something happened?.

- It's just pall..

- I heard, probably, about these deaths in the metro of Kiev? Today (the conversation took place on June 22, - Red. ) The guy also died. Is this a common thing amongst the hooks?.

- No, I did not hear, I'm not interested. In this case, fools are unlucky, as in most other unsafe hobbies. At me nothing happens, I do not climb with children, I take only the checked up guys which with me have passed, through fire and water. So with me, everything is always good, easy and under control.

This can be compared to the profession of an electrician. People understand that you do not need to climb into the box with wires. And everyone understands what he's on. Here are schoolchildren and children, not knowing anything about the subway, electricity and t. E, go at your own peril and risk.

- Do the trappers have their own internal coolness rating? Well, you know, like climbers. Climbed Everest - became among his own in great authority. What is considered a special challenge for you?.

- No, there is no such thing. Too many people did what is considered steep. Accordingly, the steepness of individuals is leveled. Only the founders of movements are always in favor.

- And what kind of movement? There are many of them in general?.

- For example: roaming, snagging, digging, and t. Everything in general is called "Urban Exploration".

"Was there something you are particularly proud of?" Well, something so extreme-extreme?.

- I'm not proud of anything. This is not an achievement that has been achieved for years, but now it bears fruit. No, it's just a trick.. This is not a genre of photo or video - it's philosophy. About which few people think - Philosophy? And from the outside it looks like a banal chase for adrenaline - Well, someone like. Someone buys a cabriolet to show off before the girls in the yard, and someone to listen to his motor roar and feel freedom. There are those and those in our movements. But to whom that is interesting - I ask differently. Would you like your children to do this?.

- Of course not. But I would like that they deliberately engaged in what they like, despite my words. And it does not matter what I would like, the main thing that would like them.
