Vitaly Raskalov and Alexander Remnov call themselves skywalkers. Skywalking, which consists of scaling structures without safety equipment and then uploading the pictures to social media sites, appears to have originated in Russia and has gained popularity over the last year. Some of the highest buildings in Moscow and some other cities in Russia feature including the top of the Russian Academy of Sciences (where the boys are doing the plank) or a turret in the Kiev railway station, and the tower of the Moscow State University, which is generally protected with security cameras and special entry codes.

In 2012 The Moscow Times reported that the police had taken them in for questioning and they had been fined 300 roubles, nearly $10 for trespassing. Could be the least of their problems when their parents see the pictures.
