Leonid: Understand correctly - girls on a stage call to live nobody SUCH LIFE WHAT THEY LIVE. Julia and Lena simply show, HOW THEY LIVE! No more that. You understand?

- Ok if you like SO to live, live to yourself on health. But what for TO CALL? Whether what for with кличем " Is among you courageous? " To cause on a stage about what SUCH not thought guys (as it was at a concert in Chelyabinsk) and in literal sense compulsorily to force them to kiss before five-thousandth crowd with each other, sorry, under the full program? What for it to you?!
Leonid: you Understand... Much to our regret, till now in Russia, in particular, in country towns there is such concept, how, for example "pederast", yes? There Are табу as though on all these attitudes, yes? We consider, that each person let lives the life how it wants. If it lives SO, not our business it to condemn...

L: Support always. Quite often come on our performances. - All right, here about what we shall talk. Girls, will pass two-rub years, you will mature...
Leonid: Notice, but thus will remain beautiful! - It is indisputable! And here "t.A.T.u." the God knows how many will hold on... In general, you reflect on tomorrow?
J: very often we, TOMORROW think of . It is a lot of. - And what is do you see?
L: it is a lot of that, Andrey, to us sees, much all...
Leonid (sharply puts): you Know that. Will come tomorrow - they and will think of tomorrow. We is never usual anything, except for the tour schedule, Beforehand we do not think. By the way, already all for two months forward is painted. I shall tell still here that: "t.A.Tu." is for a long time. - All of you are assured?
Leonid: Yes. Certainly. In fact attitudes which they exist between Julia and Lena, forgive, exist on the Earth for a long time. Between many people. Simply not each person will dare to show and prove it, understand?.. - Little girls, and you are not afraid, that FOR ALL LIFE to you the brand will be pasted...
L (with offending looking at me): Interestingly, with what it is times love began a brand to call? Leonid (addressing to little girls): Well-ка here tell, only it is fair, how you consider - in what a secret of your wide popularity?
J: In sincerity. - Consider, ONLY in it?
L: Yes, only in sincerity.
Leonid: In sincerity of feelings! Truthfulness! Absence of lie! Little girls "have amicably banged" from laughter: You, Uncle Laziness, with SUCH eyes, with SUCH person say this all!!! (Laughter).
Leonid: I the person emotional, understand correctly, Andrey. They in fact still young absolutely, to it only for 16 years! They are not able to say lies yet! As adults. Therefore their attitudes and feeling, they are truthful, they are fair. Therefore and popularity such. - that is you all the same wish to assure me, that it is any not image.
J: It at all image! In a life and on a stage - we the same people. Though yes, we repeatedly heard, that so many consider: a pier, it simply image at them such, so they little girls normal. Well and let so consider, if want! Their this business. Let will prove only, that they are right. In fact when the person approves something, it should furnish proofs. How they can learn, what it is our image?
L: Actually we do not have absolutely any difference who and that about us thinks. The main thing, that love us. We appreciate such attitude to us. Thanks.
- If I am not mistaken, absolutely already soon you start shootings at once two clips...
J: One. One we have already removed. Just, before arrival to Chelyabinsk. The clip on a song of " 30 minutes " has been removed. And we shall remove now "Boy-gay". (Smiles).
- I heard, this song in an ether almost all the Russian radio stations categorically do not wish to put...
L: No, already one of radio stations has taken this song in rotation...
Leonid: Here, I remember, when we went with concerts to Caucasus...
J: In Gelenas-gins-джик! It (is infectiously dared).
Leonid: Yes, Julia so at us names this city it (is dared), and so, as soon as they have sung there this song - everything, on-ча-ло! Owners of a platform have declared us, what it is debauch, etc., etc. Well what it is debauch?! You saw today on a stage debauch? It is STATEMENT refers to. With dances. Talented and creative very much.
- And what it for history with your album "200 Po Vstrechnoy"? Speak, the part of circulation has left, so to say, with an original soundtrack where instead of "peak" obscene words are obviously audible...
J: It is real history. To us already called, spoke, that have supposedly bought an album, and there in some places instead of "peak"... Well, that you have told. (Smiles). And as soon as it has got in sale?.. I through your newspaper wish to address to all Chelyabinsk citizens: if someone will get such album, inform us, please. It is possible to write on our personal with Lena electronic addresses: yulia@taty.ru and lena@taty.ru We at you shall not take away this album, do not think so, it is necessary to us... We shall tell so, it is simple for myself.
- And I, if am fair, have been assured, that it is the next hearing. In general about you them the WEIGHT goes. That ostensibly someone was broke, has ostensibly become deaf for all life...
J (tightens a song "Hi-Fi"): Silly peoples ... (the General laughter).
L: to Us it is insulting, that such here hearings dismiss about us. Actually... will punish still, God forbid.
Leonid: I Remember, once with lightning speed the information that ostensibly girls were broke in Miami has extended and Lena lays in reanimation. "My God, it that such is created on white light?!" - I have thought then, looking on... Julia with Lena, very quietly engaged dances. The daddy of Lena calls: " Lonia, where Lena?!!! " I: "Sergio, Lena at me near by rehearses ". It: "Weahh ! To Me have called, have told, that they were broke!" "Yes is not present, Sergio, all is normal, calm down ". After such hearings, I consider, long they will live!
And nevertheless HAS caught up "Tatushek"
