That's because it's mistranslated. As I suspected from what I know of Russians, the original suggests switching, not whipping.

And the quote is much prettier in the original: "The effect was astounding. The world shone in bright colors, scars on the heart dissolved, although the buttocks were covered with abstract designs."

So one does switching with a belt? (graphic from the link you sent)

Yeah, I figured there might be some mistranslation in the volunteer translated Pravda article, graphic of coiled whip notwithstanding.

I like the quote :)

So how is switching different from caning?

I agree, that version is much nicer.
