HARDER. When Anton was thrashed in the Welcome to Las Vegas series, his contract called for 400 strokes of whatever Lavrenty and Vitya chose to give him. The video was a huge success but Anton only took 300 strokes, leaving him with a 100-stroke debt. Even though Anton does not have the reserves to pay today, Vitya enthusiastically collects what is due. A lively tide of blows from belt, strap, tawse and Russian whip on Anton’s writhing body ensures that Anton pays every stroke. His account is settled!
