The exact arrangement courtesy of brief messages and terrible Google translations is not at all clear. I'm assuming Natasha isn't welded into this little threesome.

This Instagram video set (from the third) seems to explain it a bit better: https://www.instagram.com/stories/highl ... 050033909/. It's clearly a temporary thing.

Translation:
Alexander Kudlay and Victoria Pustovitova will not remove the chain that has bound their hands for three months. The lovers want to sell the art object for $ 3 million

It has been three months since Kharkiv residents 33-year-old Oleksandr Kudlay and 28-year-old Victoria Pustovitova chained a chain to their hands. On February 14, the process of welding the chain was recorded by representatives of the Book of Records of Ukraine. And today lovers could remove the shackles, setting a record. But so far they are not going to do it.

Alexander and Victoria told Gazeta.ua about the reasons for the decision

"For three months, 89 days, 2136 hours and 128,160 minutes, our hands have been chained. This is another milestone. But we will not take risks, draw conclusions and think about them because we are not removing the chain. We have decided to sell it at an international auction. . The buyer will be able to receive it directly from our hands ", - Alexander told.

The lovers shared that the starting price of the chain will be $ 3 million.

"We will sell the chain as an art object. We will send 2 million to charity. We will provide ourselves and our relatives with housing for the rest of the money. We are all from Donetsk, but we live in rented apartments in different cities of Ukraine," Oleksandr admitted.

Kudlay and Pustovitova have not yet exhibited the lot. All organizational issues are discussed with art critics and charitable foundations.

Lovers claim that they are used to being together around the clock.

"It's getting easier every day. One day the three of us were chained. Our fitness trainer joined the experiment to visit our place and get an adequate training complex," Victoria shared.

So that's what this was all about. A 1 million dollar stunt.

There's a comment in one of the Instagram posts that says they plan to stay chained another month. We'll see how that goes.

And whether anyone wants to spend $stupid on half a metre of used chain...

(And if they do, whether they prefer it to stay where it is!)

That's how I look at it. The 'Depot has plenty of it, unused. I doubt there is a geek big enough to handle over the $$. But maybe some billionaire..... Just for the $2 million cause of it. Still, if they make it, it was a good hustle for the $1 million that goes to their pocket.

There will always be someone, somewhere, willing to fork over that much money. Considering that these same people would pay about the same for a blank canvas or one half painted white, the other red, or something like that. As soon as the word "art" is mentioned, they go bonkers and will pay millions for a pile of dog poop... :roll:

Once they're loose, will it be separation anxiety?

Oh, of course... the money will fix that. :rofl:

That is utterly ridiculous, 3million for a piece of chain that has been locked on them for 3 months. I guess some idot will buy it but it would set a president and then everyone will get in on it and once someone does 4 months chained together the 3 month piece of chain will become worthless and let's face it no matter what these so called wealthy "art lovers" say they really only buy to make more money.
That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

I think adding this "printing money" cheapens the whole thing. Maybe if they got a company to sponsor their charity beforehand it might have looked better

The fact they got "official" recognition and publicity of the lock-up right from the start suggests that monetisation was always at least a possibility.

Despite claiming to be 'fed up' - yes, that's it, just 'fed up' - Viktoria Pustovitova, 28, and Alexander Kudlay, 33, say they only plan to cut the welded chain at their wedding.
They broke the record on 14 May, he said, calling it a 'big victory'. However, he insisted they were 'going further' and taking part in a reality TV show.

If this wasn't a big publicity stunt, they would keep that chain and hang it somewhere special in their home. Most weddings I know involve making bonds, not breaking off and selling them.

From bound by the chain to bound by marriage. :wink:
Does the chain then count as an engagement ring?

It should and they both should wear it. Should be more couples like this.

Some clarifications here: https://society.fakty.ua/376520-my-snim ... a-dollarov

I note that the injuries early on were (as I suspected) burns from the welding. And they seem to be saying they'll stay chained until they can sell the chain ... I kinda get the feeling they haven't fully thought this through...
