Unrestrained.

A Russian guy after visiting Ukraine tells to his friends:
  • They are very strange there, they have there a lot of places for smoking and in Kyiv, on main street Khreshchatyk they have very big Japanese-Italian shop. :-)

What does that mean? Ukrainian word “perukarnya" (barber shop) in Russian is assosiated with smoking, so the guy thought barbershop was place for smoking. And years ago there was on Khreshchatyk big shop “hudziki-tkanini”. First word sounds “Japanese” for Russians, though it means just buttons for cloth, and second word sounds “Italian" for them, though it means just materials for making cloth.

They probably created a joke for English speakers and didn't realize that Russian speakers might read it too.

I once saw a more interesting version: apparently, there’s a Lisyonka street in Kyiv (Lisyonka = Lysenko), a store selling Italian tailoring fabrics called Tkanini, and a tribute to Freud – the Libidskaya metro station.
