Lesbian attitudes

On September nude TATU 23, 2004, Volkova gave birth to Viktoria (Vika) Pavlovna Volkova, and she soon returned to the studio with Katina.

On September 26, 2003, the act released a compilation CD of remixes, titled Remixes. In November 2003, the CD was released in Russia, with two new tracks, and videos. The two new tracks were "Prostiye Dvizheniya" (which was previously released as a single lesbian schoolgirls but had not appeared on a commercial release before) and "Ne Ver, Ne Boysya."

On September 9, 2008, a press release appeared on the band's official website that declared that the forthcoming album would be titled "Veselye Ulybki" ("Happy Smiles") instead of "Upravleniye Otbrosami." The name change reflected sarcastic comments about the state of the Russian music business made by Volkova and Katina in an interview with Moscow's Time Out Magazine.^{lena katina imagesize:large id="cite_ref-13" class="reference">[14]} The press release also provided the tracklist of the album and an early version of its cover art, but still no confirmed release date was given. On September 12, the album's third single, "You and I" made its debut on Love Radio. The press release disappeared from the site shortly afterward, only to re-appear on October 8 with a change made to the cover art --- where there was once the face of a smiling astronaut on the original design, a black square now appeared.
