A little excursion into the history of t.A.T.u., which contains a lot of allusions to today's Lena Katina evolutions.
Almost two years passed in between the birth of t.A.T.u. and the YSSU's hitting the MTV.
We had several demos and one finalized product - YSSU (Ya Soshla S Uma, Russian version of All The Things She Said). We tried to place the song onto FM waves, way before Ivan shot the video.
For Moscow show-biz society Shapovalov and I were aliens with no connections, and we were not professionals.
Ivan had voyaged all of the music radio stations in Moscow (a few existed those days) with YSSU, he met the very same reaction everywhere: dull & unprofessional & non-format.
(How do you fans like it - the song "Ya Soshla S Uma" in its exact final version as it was eventually released did not blow anybody's mind in professional world, it was welcomed nowhere and was believed to be boring shit.)
I had a childhood friend - one of the Russkoe Radio (Russian Radio - huge FM radio) founders. I offered him 25% of t.A.T.u. for his support - he refused, he believed the project to be futureless.
Then I went desperate, but Shapovalov talked me (yes, talked me, not convinced me) into financing a video - after all the money spent to the moment.
Another round of camping-on-the-doorsteps started when the video was made. Again, we used to be met with one-finger-salute everywhere.
I distinctly remember I was told by one young lady I knew, a credible promoter those days, that "the product is interesting and promising but me and Shapovalov are half-a-loafs of the show-biz and we'll ruin it all".

! ! / Insider is dead! Happy New Year! |
Now I am going to write under my own name. I also asked Zhenya, Jam and other people to take their part in the blog posting.
I hope you will see some results soon.
Besides, I wish to implement a custom of front-page publishing of your posts, bloggers, as well as certain posts from the forums of t.A.T.u., of Lena Katina and Yulia Volkova (as soon as we happen to see such).
These are going to be the wisest and nontrivial posts, the dumbest ones, the most subtle and the most spiteful ones, the weirdest ones; or in short the most-of-the-most posts which deserve to be read by many, as far as I can decide.
Notably, I am going to publish your posts without unveiling my attitude (wise/stupid/weird/etc.).
You are free to rate it all by yourselves. So, my opinion may be directly opposite to the public's; and my own posts may well become the most stupid and most spiteful ones. That's the course of a game.
As I promised, there will be no negatively biased feedback from me, I'm going to be totally constructive and positive. So, go ahead, dear fans, anti-fans and just people, go for it, let out your thoughts and emotions, let thousands know about them.
Happy New Year everyone, congratulations! I wish you well, broaden your horizons and be immune against brainwashing.
Yours,
Boris

Heh, guys.
Haven't been online for a long time…
Much water has flown under the bridges…
But Insider is still alive and still kicking yet.
Honestly, I feel offended a lot by insulting criticism, I don't like being virtually wished fucks or indefinite leave without pay.
I even got pissed off a couple of times and got engaged gutlessly into an unseemly swearing with commentators.
That was wrong and cheap.
Now that I am dry behind the ears I ultimately conclude: if you are out for the public and the publicly writing - stick it! If you can't stick it - don't say your crap, save your breath and save people from yourself.
This was a foreword to my next entry after the long lasted silence, but my primary intention is to shed some light on the Waste Management release matter.

Hello, guys.
I'm looking at the achievements of our trailer in the Internet with excitement.
Seems that we have quite succeeded with this advertising product, and this is pleasing.
The main law of trailer-makers:
"lack of a fiery wish to watch the entire material after watching trailer means the trailer was made unprofessionally".
There's also another law, for the viewers:
"if the trailer is not interesting enough to make you eager to watch the movie (or video) - then the movie doesn't deserve your watching".
Keep in mind we did not show you neither motorbikes nor snowfalls, even music is absent there... and you are going nuts already.
You are intrigued.
And vainly you are.
The video will be worse than trailer, as always, this is yet another law.
And this time it will be not "just worse", it will be a real piece of bloody shit, in the flesh.
So, boys and girls, and their parents either, you're all ought to wipe off your cheerful snots, and the happiness will come your way.

I don't know where the yellow press got their news about "Yulia leaves t.A.T.u." from, but this time those news are not totally groundless.
Yulia does not leave t.A.T.u. but something did really happen.
The story so far, folks...
After the series of our fucked-up announcing of a number of tatuish "product" releases (clips, album) followed by delays, we have learned the lesson.
As you most probably have noticed, for some time past we don't do official statements/proclaims which would have been demolished by life, we tend to give less information but that of higher quality.
And lately we didn't give out any information at all.
Why?
For the reason there wasn't information suitable for publication.
And now, when foul gossips are emerging here and there, I'll tell you everything I definitely can.

I am 6. I have not got a name. I am moron. To be more precise, there may be some name assigned to me somewhere, but I have not got an idea of it. My mother does not call me by name, and practically does not talk to me at all. Why does she keep me in the apartment, why does not she send me to an asylum... Presumably because she earns money from our government for her keeping me, disabled from childhood. She would better send me to such.
All my life goes by within one room with a clothes chest, a bed, a chair and a TV.
The TV is mounted high on the wall, almost on the ceiling, it is switched on around the clock, and it displays always the same channel.
The door of my room is locked from outside in order to prevent me from damaging the other part of the apartment, I am not allowed to go to the street because "it is a shame to expose such a moron to the neighborhood".
I watch just ads on TV. It is rather interesting from the point of view of searching and analyzing of the codes of video-linguistic neuro-programming that are being used to sell all those toothbrushes, pads, Viagra pills, cars... Some ads are just fine art pieces of VLNP, but the most of these are just dull crap.
The stuff in between the ads - news, series, shows - is a mere joke of a jerk, total nonsense destined to brainwash the watchers with hedgehog's brains.
All in all, I have made two colliding conclusions:
- those people who swallow all these programs have really got hedgehog's brains inside their heads;
- those people who make all these programs believe all other people have got hedgehog's brains (this latter is the exact belief my mother, her friends in a neighborhood and doctors in clinic do have about me).

УО - окончание / WM - conclusion |
Мне 6 лет, у меня нет имени и я дебил. Точнее, имя может и есть, но я его не знаю, моя мать не называет меня по имени и вообще практически не разговаривает. Зачем она держит меня в своей квартире и не сдает в приют для малолетних идиотов... Наверное, из-за денег, которые получает от правительства за меня - инвалида детства. Уж лучше бы сдала.
Вся моя жизнь проходит в пределах одной комнаты с комодом, кроватью, стулом и телевизором.
Телевизор привинчен к стене почти на уровне потолка, не выключается 24 часа, и показывает всегда одну и ту же программу.
Дверь заперта снаружи, чтобы я не портил остальную квартиру, на улицу меня не выпускают потому, что "стыдно такого дебила показывать людям".
По телевизору я смотрю только рекламу. Это интересно с точки зрения поиска и анализа кодов видео-лингвистического нейро-программирования при помощи которых впариваются все эти зубные щетки, прокладки, таблетки от импотенции, автомобили... Некоторые ролики - это просто шедевры ВЛНП, но большинство - бездарный отстой.
То, что идет между рекламой - новости, сериалы, прочие шоу - совсем уж примитивная байда, рассчитанная на промывку мозгов зрителей с интеллектом ежика.
Вообще, про уровень передач я сделал два взаимоисключающих наблюдения:
-население, которое проглатывает все это, действительно имеет внутри головы мозг ежика;
-те, кто делает телепередачи, считают, что у населения мозги ежиков (именно так моя мать, ее знакомые тетки и врачи из поликлиники думают обо мне).

I spent two hours in company with WM kid.
Well, where did I get him from? Meh, he lives right downstairs. His mom ignored all U/S and those diagnostics back in the days of her pregnancy, so nobody warned her about future weak-mindedness of her child. I had little knowledge about him until recently, except he uses to pound the radiator all nights long with something rather heavy. This phenomenon is caused by his day-rhythm been "broken" by his mother in order to make him stay awake at night and sleep at day. While he sleeps she can work, she can go shopping (she's a housecleaner and works several hours a day), and she can go get the free milk and kefir, which are being granted to him by our generous country as a social package. When first hearing about his hammering the radiators through the night some people wonder why nobody of our neighbors complained or at least shot him. It's easy: occupants of our building are mostly indifferent jerks who don't give a fuck. And me personally have a tacit agreement with his mom: I'm not opposing his night cares and she, in return, does not object if I come to an idea to dance some step in ski boots at, say, 12 PM.
Well, sometimes he is awake at daytime for whatever reasons, and then his mom starts to look for somebody to look out for him. My mother stayed with him a couple of times. I found out from her words that he is totally inadequate, and she actually was afraid of him, though he is just 6: he just doesn't allow to cut his nails, therefore he has got enormously long black hooks on his hands and legs, he brings it into play from time to time. Notably, he does so not only because of a bad mood. Sometimes it happens just because of abundance of the heart: "Look, what a nice Cheburashka! Cute?" - "Tehe-e-e!" And there are four bloody trenches on the hand that holds the toy.
Me surely was not considered by his mom as a choice of tender, but once she happened to have a deal with my mother who was suddenly forced to go elsewhere, and I decided to watch for kid as if it was kinda gag.

It was a bright sunny day.
We were walking to the rocket, some bit of fear inside me, but the most important feeling I had, the feeling that totally outweighted all instinctive fears, was the anticipation of a crazy adventure - the space flight.
You can best imagine this as a feeling of a kid allowed to ride an "adult" rollercoaster for the very first time.
Recall your own affection, multiply it by 1000, and you'll get something close to my experience.
I was standing on stairs beneath the elevator that was going to lift me 100 feet up, to the level of the spaceship's capsule hatch.
We posed to photographers, I raised my hand and waved to all of them, our faces shined by smiles of delight... We were way damn happy...

1. There will be no new design.
2. The reasons for the forum shutdown are:
a) urgent need in tech. service of the codebase
b) need in implementing of the updated politics in "All about t.A.T.u." area
This latter new politics motto can be described as "No To Flood"
Some examples of "flood" in broad interpretation:
- offtopic conversations
- personal cross-talks
- rudeness, bluntness, unreasonable and ungrounded childishness
- ungrounded biased grossness of the "song sucks", "video is shit", "team are jerks" kind...
(each and every supported critics in the form of useful conversation is still much appreciated)
- ungrounded expressive shouts like "I'm gonna die", "I'm gonna go crazy", "you're teh best"...
Why?
The answer is: the present excessive overload of "flood" in the forum makes the image of it to be unpleasant to many of the new and old interesting members with deep thoughts, and attractive to the uninspiring and commonplace ones.
The local "Department of Control" is looking forward to achieve results in form of interesting discussions, new interesting broad-minded and thoughtful forum members.
The "Department of Control" is not inspired with idea of forum turning to a playground for elementary school kids and to a dump tank for bitchy asocials.
3. Moderation of the other subforums will be limited to "spamicide".

I recalled t.A.T.u. has this kind of way - to combine the uncombinable. And this is the style of my perception of the video. It was predictable to expect some shrill, something suicidal about such song as 220 is. But, as Insider had told us, we were not supposed to get any of these. I see this point as big and bold "plus" of the video: brightness and lightness of it does noticeably emphasize (maybe the better word is enlighten) suicidal notes in the song. "Tatushki" appear with an airy image of some saloon-singers who perform serious lyrics like "It's twice easier for the dead" ... very cute, to my mind. Such a contrast delivers strong impression, the denoted ATMOSPHERE!
At last!
Of course, this video altogether with the 220 song is not a mere meaningless fun-fiction, but it is a pronounced sample of postmodernism - mixture and combination of the unconbinable.
lyrics - tragic
music - soft retro-pop-dance a-la ‘80s
video - art-deco a-la ‘30s
choreography - a-la futuristic break-dance
the listed four attributes are traditionally incompatible.
And this had been made not for any "foreigners" or "non-foreigners".
All this had been made for all of you, people, arty and rebel souls, who in other words are t.A.T.u. fans.
I'd like to quote myself:
- be advised to use your brain before judging.
- if someone's out of clue - it's not our fault.

P.S.: We are going to upload 220 in HQ in about a week.

Несколько слов перед премьерой "220" / A couple of words prior to the “220” premiere |
Ребята, ваша солидарная реакция на запрет "220" на МУЗ-ТВ и MTV Россия потрясла даже меня, видавшего виды, поверьте...
Большое вам спасибо за огромную поддержку t.A.T.u.
Это реально окрыляет, прямо как Рэд Бул.
Да, собственно, t.A.T.u. - это и есть Юля, Лена и все мы с вами.
Что касается причин отказа каналов, то они не имеют ничего общего ни с форматом, ни с темой, ни, разумеется, с техническим или художественным качеством клипа.
Не вдаваясь в детали скажу, что монополисты российского музыкального вещания элементарно наказывают t.A.T.u. за независимость.
И все дела.
Я бы не стал, как это делают некоторые горячие головы, катить баллон на конкретных людей из музыкального бизнеса, обвиняя в заговоре.
Ведь у нас нет доказательств их враждебных по отношению к t.A.T.u. действий (какие-то там реплики в каких-то интервью не в счет), а обидеть человека проще простого...
Что касается собственно видео "220":
Считаю уместным сделать небольшой эпиграф, это мой авансовый вклад в ваше будущее обсуждение.
Сразу разочарую тех, кто ждет экшн или еще одну татушную историю или водопады спецэффектов. Этого там нет.
Тем более, там нет ни сисек, ни пиписек, ни дохлых зайчиков, ни каннибализма с содомским грехом и детской порнографией.
Это видео-перформанс, где акцент сделан на стиле и красоте.
Девчонки предстанут в совершенно новом для них амплуа.
И самое главное, что есть в клипе "220" и ради чего он сделан, и нет в FOF (которого здесь многие, и я в их числе, боятся) - АТМОСФЕРА.
Вы ее прочувствуете, я знаю.
Приятного просмотра.
Инсайдер
Guys, your allied reaction towards the ban of "220" by MUZ-TV and MTV-Russia did overwhelm even such a hard-boiled person as me. Believe it...
Thank you so much for your great support for t.A.T.u.
This adds wings just like the "Red Bull".
Well, actually, t.A.T.u. are Yulia, Lena and all of us together, positively.
As regards the reasons of TV-channels denial, it has nothing to do neither with "format", nor with "message", and really nothing with technical or artistical qualities of the video.
To tell long story short, monopolists of the Russia's music broadcasting just punish t.A.T.u. for being independent.
And that's it.
I would not, like some hotheads, dump on definite people of showbiz, claiming their participation in any conspiracy.
Nothing we have in proof of their personal hostile actions (one or two phrases here and there in some interviews can not be taken for evidence), and to hurt a man is a piece of cake...
Concerning the very "220" video itself:
I consider it pointful to make a little epigraph as my advance contribution to your future discussion.
I am about to disappoint those of you waiting for action, or another tatuish story, or uncountable special effects.
There isn't something of this kind.
And of course there ain't no tits, pussies, deceased rabbits, as well as no cannibalism altogether with Sodomian sin and adolescent porn.
This is a video-performance accented on the style and beauty.
Girls will appear in a role absolutely new to them.
And the major ingredient and the goal of this video is the ATMOSPHERE. Atmosphere lacked by FOF (which is a specimen many, including me, are afraid of).
You will feel it, I know.
Have a good viewing.
