Music Video

There are currently two versions of the music video a censored and an uncensored video. The censored version was released through MTV Russia in November 2007 and the uncensored was featured on the DVD of the maxi-single.

The censored video involves Lena walking through streets scantily dressed. She arrives home and we see her change clothes into a uniform and make her way to the detention centre where, along with a firing squad, she executes a very pregnant Yulia.

The uncensored video follows the same major concept, but with the additional footage, such as a party of onlookers drinking cocktails during Yulia's execution and a group of religious protesters outside the "Department of Control", the uncensored version gives a different perspective and a twist in the story, compared to the censored counterpart. One of the most notable differentiations is the inclusion of partial nudity from both of the girls. And in addition to the inclusion of new scenes to the video, after Yulia throws the tray of food off the table and requests alcohol, the censored version features wine but the uncensored version features some sort of hard alcohol. In several channels in Latin America an edited version of the uncensored version was showed, it stayed the same, only that nudity parts were covered by a black line, it was named as "Beliy Plaschik (Edit)", though the song for the uncensored cut is called as a "Beliy Plaschik (No Mercy Remix)".

The video was also shot to the English version "White Robe". But it's unknown if the video will be released due to there being no information about the video. On the making of the video it shows Lena singing her parts in English.
