Creation History
The lyrics are written by 16-year-old schoolgirl Maria Maksakova, a member of the forum tatu.ru. On November 29, 2007, the exclusive premiere of the video on MTV Russia was held . Shooting the video took place on October 6-7, 2007 in the territory of the Hyperion Treatment Plant in Los Angeles. Film crew members - director James Cox, producer Billie Parks and cameraman Joe Labitsi - also worked on the video “ All About Us ” and “ People with Disabilities ”.
Clip
According to the clip plot, a pregnant Volkova , who is in prison, is shot by soldiers in a uniform resembling a fascist one. On this occasion, the official website reported that "all coincidences with the uniforms of any time and people are random" [1] . Volkova herself in an interview explained: “Our video for the song“ The White Robe ”is against violence against unborn children. We decided to protest violence with such a metaphor. It turned out, in our opinion, strong " [2] . In March 2008, in an interview with the Russian Reporter magazine, Volkova answered a journalist's question [3] :
- Does your heroine from the White Robe clip have any legend? Maybe she was a Soviet intelligence officer in Nazi Germany ?
- I do not know ... This is a made-up plot. So come up with fairy tales, movies and everything else. There was a plot, and we moved on it. Lena has nothing to shoot me for, especially a pregnant one. We are against violence, murder, abortion, including, and against cruelty in general. This is what we wanted to show people. Do not say - because the words a person would not understand. Just show.
A day later, information appeared on the band’s website that there is not only a “no-cuts” video version, but also an English version of the song (and video) [4] . The second version of the clip with a different arrangement and a longer one appeared later on YouTube [5] .
April 2, 2008 in the official online store of the group began pre-sale maxi-single "Bely ploshchik", which the representatives of the group call the "Hyperion Plate" . According to Volkova, “Hyperion is, in fact, a waste management plant. In general, we decided to name the maxi-single our “Hyperion Plate” after the name of this plant ” [6] . The edition has a double package Slimline Jewel Case - a cardboard cover, to the walls of which two thin Slim Jewel are glued from the inside, one of which contains a CD with tracks, and the other with bonus material DVDs .
