I will tell you one thing, I have experienced -45 F in Minnesota and it is FUCKING cold and I can't imagine how fucking cold it gets in Siberia where these kids are most likely locked up. I think the world cold doesn't even describe -45 F it is more like torment.
This is the "A Cold Cell" version that is my favorite and it does not appear on Ape of Naples, it appears on the Russian Best of CD set, so it's a bit hard to find, but then again all COIL CDs and especially vinyl are very expensive and hard to find.
What horrifying conditions. My heart goes out to them. Coil were more than artists, they really did bring to attention so much taboo suffering that we are not supposed to know about from our self-proclaimed 'leaders'. Makes me so angry.
@Thesagga I know this version first appeared (before Ape of Naples as a demo from forthcoming album Backwords) on the Wiretapper 6 double CD (came with Wire magazine).
@mrhaymack Good question. I assume this was released on the DVD box sex (which I missed purchasing). Peter was asked to make official videos for a lot of previous Coil material. Perhaps someone with the box set can provide background info? It certainly looks like it was directed by Peter. However, this does look "staged" and not actual footage. I could be wrong.
@hogochodo Thanks so much for the information. Would love to find the original footage or the name of the documentary just out of curiosity. I was blown away by the original video he did for "Ostia" which I know did have real photos of atrocities committed against youth by Khmer Rouge. Still have never seen anything approximating the creativity and originality of Peter and Jhon. Best wishes.

I apologize profoundly to the russian youth in this film for our collective, sick, human behavior for allowing this to have happened.

A powerful song. An extremely sad film. Thank you for creating this video.

@thedistortedpoet1 This is not my creation. Sleazy was the videographer.

what have they done to warrant that sort of treatment?

@scummichael Good question. I think nothing can justify this sort of treatment, not even if they'd literally ask for it.
