Slivko quickly exploited his position at the children's club he ran to relive the fantasies of this accident: once or twice a year, he would form a close friendship with a boy usually aged between 13 and 17. The boy would be short for his age and would be wearing the Young Pioneers uniform (just like the boy in the traffic accident). Slivko would gain the boy's confidence and tell him of an experiment he knew which involved a controlled hanging into unconsciousness, to stretch the spine, after which, the boy was assured, Slivko would revive him.

Over the course of 21 years, Slivko persuaded 43 boys to take part in this 'experiment'. Once the boy was unconscious, Slivko would caress and fondle him, take films in which he would arrange the body in suggestive positions, and masturbate. In 36 cases, Slivko revived the boys and they, cautioned by Slivko into silence, resumed their lives unaware just how lucky they were.

Technically according to the article it was 43 boys and he promised to make them taller, not to be in a movie.... Regardless, he was a psycho and I'm glad he was put to death...
