The Strange Case Of The Ukranian Hipsters And The Invisible Gunman

OH-EM-GEE, guys! I just found the most random thing on the internet – a gang of Ukrainian hipsters all went to the bank at the same time, and when they got there they were held up by an invisible gunman.

These amazing pictures were captured by soviet Google Maps equivalent Yandex Maps in Donetsk. Holy shit, isn't Eastern Europe crazy? And repressive, don't forget repressive, their governments are VERY repressive. They're so casually repressive that that guy holding the water bottle is just chilling out, ignoring the people who've been shot dead yards from his sweet plimsolls.

Still no sign of the actual gunman, though, and I'm confused by the lack of old people. It's almost as if a police helicopter unit just interrupted a riot that broke out after the bank announced they were giving away free money to moderately well-dressed people in their early-to-mid twenties.

I count… eight pairs of skinny jeans. Maybe the Ukrainian government sees them the same way Pol Pot saw glasses?

Another worrying image. If you know anyone who was down at the bank in Donetsk that day, or anyone who was affected by what happened, please get in touch with us in a flash at kev@viceuk.com. We'd love to know what was going on, and how the situation played out.
