Also: my second-hand anecdotal information about Moscow street life around
that time and after may have not have anything to do with Duncan and
Lloyd. They may even have posed with their parents' consent, as follows.
I recall reading on the web (8+ years ago) one of the Russian
guys who allegedly operated one of the Moscow-based boy pics and vids
businesses had posted his story. It appeared to be quite honest in tone,
and non-judgemental of himself. I don't know which outfit it was. I can't
remember the details. It was not a media outlet or antipedo site.
According to that website, he and another guy - both were quite young at
the time, in their early twenties - started by placing advertisements in
Moscow newspapers etc looking for boy models to pose. Parents turned up
in droves bringing their boys. As far as I can recall, they must have
explained that the boys would be required to pose nude. Parents happily
went along with this.
When the pictures did so well on the web, they thought: it might be
nice to make videos. Content graduated to sex, but he said neither he nor
the other guy ever did sexual things with the boys on camera (which rules
out the Memory/KDV people, who clearly did). The boys did stuff with each
other, though. I remember he stated that he never had the feeling that the
actors were into it sexually, but that they did it as a sign of caring
for each other. I can't recall if parents were again involved - I think
the source of models must have changed.
Due to pressure from foreign governments, both men were arrested. The
narrator of the story served several years in prison and was then
released, and had got on with his life. His collaborator, however, died
in police custody (was it he was thrown out of a multistory window?)
during interrogation, unless I'm confusing this with another Russian CP
bust story on the web at the time.
I have wondered since if this was real (appeared to be, there was no
antipedo ranting) and if these were the Boy Diamonds people or similar,
though it might have had nothing to do with them.I haven't seen the website
relating his story since, I don't know if it still exists or why it was in
English. It was not a melodramatic or cautionary story. It was matter of
fact, though translated from the russian may have produced a drier tone.
It was like 'this is what I did: I liked doing it, I suffered for it a
lot, like it or lump it, that's how it is'. I can't recall if he
as regretful/remorseful or not.
Does anyone recall seeing this site and have any more historical info?
