[Pic on bed: In actuality, Tatu are two hard-working little girls.]

[Pic of Lena and naked chick: She who works hard, relaxes well.]

[Main pic: You can wag school, bite your nails, eat 'mice from the north' by kilos, and decide for yourself what to do tomorrow. They can't.]

(2nd page)

[Bottom of main pic: They're our culture! Our everything! Let us through! We'll kiss them all over!]

[Pic sitting and singing: Tatu, by European standards, is tough, high-quality, super-bold.]

[Pic in bath: It's hard to resist such beauties. Europe couldn't.]

[Pic in bedroom: Diet, tours, image... The girls don't even have time to think or cry.]

[Pic of girls (far right): Russian music has made it through to the West. And this is the most important achievement in local show-business.]

[Small blurb under 1st pic.]

After their concert in St. Petersburg, Tatu relaxed. Relaxed in a casino. Naked, beautiful strippers were brought in and placed on the table before Yulia and Lena. The St. Petersburg dancers enjoyed sitting on Tatu's laps very much. And wouldn't you have liked it?

[Writing in red.]

Tatu - our innocent sinners with rosie heels. To us fellow natives, they don't talk about their affectionate love. But for the German Bravo, the girls appeared with shocking revelations. It's no wonder that European compoundedly unsatisfied men are accusing them of horrific things.

[Interview.]

BRAVO: How long have you loved each other?
Lena: My first glance at Yulia, I found her to be extremely gorgeous. The first time I saw her, I immediately felt drawn to her. This was eight years ago in the children's band 'Neposedi', in which we used to sing together.
Yulia: Although we were very young, I was already constantly thinking about sex. My first real erotic kiss--with tongue--with a girl was on my 14th Birthday during a game of spin the bottle.

BRAVO: When did you understand that you were meant to be a couple?
Lena: Three years ago on the dancefloor. This was after our producer Ivan chose us from a casting for the group Tatu. Before this, I only kissed a boy once. And it was nothing special. Yulia was my first lesbian affair. It was so great!
Yulia: Was it now?
Lena: Her lips were so soft and she smelled great. She was super affectionate... just so sweet!
Yulia: At times, boys can also be very sweet. It's nice to go out and hang around with them, but in bed they don't compare.

BRAVO: Some English newspaper claimed that you had to sleep with Ivan - we'll say, it was a sex-test. Is this true?
Lena: No, it's crap! Ivan never said anything like that, even though he likes to shock people. He's a fairly nice and clever type. He always says: don't worry about what the papers write. Scandals only arise around 'big' groups.

BRAVO: Yulia, why then were you kicked out of Neposedi?
Yulia: (Giggling.) Because I kept wanting to be like Madonna and sing in the nude.

BRAVO: Do you still undress on stage?
Yulia: Of course, if I'm... But the fans do it more often for me, those who storm onto the stage, in order to take all our clothes off.

BRAVO: Is it true that in the near future you want to move to California?
Lena: Never! We'll stay in Moscow! It's the most awesome city on the planet! Life here is the most grand, people are the most interesting, and the clubs and evenings are the hottest!

BRAVO: Did people ever dismiss or make it hard for you due to the fact that you're lesbians?
Lena: Of course! Recently, an Orthodox priest on a talk show threatened us with eternal damnation and to burn in Hell. Because of us, politicians urged that a new fine be brought in for homosexual love, and some idiots throw rocks and knives at us at concerts. But I'll tell you this: soon they'll all settle down and, in the end, will see that nothing bad can come of the fact that two people love each other. And it's absolutely irrelevant of what sex they are.

[Writing in green.]
Girls! You've confused us! In Russia, you choose boys, in Europe - girls. With trusty Europeans, you behave yourselves exactly the way you did with us three years ago. Since then we've made clear the fact that you like happy and sporty BOYS. Don't lie to Europe! Think of your grandma!

[Far right column.]

The Bravo File.

Blestyashie:
"The girls are fantastic. We've known them for a long time, and our relationship is very touching and caring. We actually always get our haircut at the same stylist. And in regards to their frivolous behaviour on-stage - it's show business..."

Bi-2:
"Generally, it's a good and high quality Russian pop project, released in the world market. They undress on stage? Every group has their own variation."

Dima Sid (Tarakani!):
"Sex with both of them is my unfulfilled dream. The girls look really hot! I think that every normal person would wish to thouroughly feel them up."
