2.10 PM t.A.T.u. are going to the sound-check separately: Lena Ö from the office of ÓNeformatÔ (through Moscow traffic jams), Yulia Ö from home. When in Moscow, Yulya drives a car by herself. After California, where you can't rent a car before you're 25, she missed the road very muchÅ
Lena: Yulia called me last night, said that she had brought dresses for us at 10 AM, but we should cut them offÅOh, but my bruises will be seen: recently I hardly not fell down in the opened hatch on the roadÅMaybe I will paint over them.
As it turned out on the entrance of the ÓOlimpiyskyÔ, permit for entrance is forgotten in the office. Security pretended that theyÒre very cool and doesnÒt want to pass the car with Lena for a long time (with Lena!!). The representatives of the ceremony had to invite the star. There is more than 5 hours before the beginning of the ceremony. Fans waited near the entry of ÓOlimpiyskyÔ. Lena didnÒt have time to open the door of the car how the crowd is coming to her with the photo-cameras. She gave autographs for several minutes, after that she disappeared in the heart of ÓOlimpiyskyÔ. There is no Yulia.

3.20 PM Yulia is late but she came. Frowzy security guards donÒt pass her car without a permit like Lena, thatÒs why Yulia got in a bad mood. It seems like a comedy. The girls are waiting for their order for an hour. The conception of the performance was created by Yulia in L.A. First the phonogram of Ó- ¸þ°ûð ¸ ºüðÔ is playing, and the whole hall is in the darkness during practically a minute. t.A.T.u. are appearing on the top of the 4-meter high pedestal like two dark silhouettes in front of twinkling background. With the first sounds of the new hit Ó+ñõ÷¹ ýúð-ýþû¹Ô girls, like monkeys, barefooted, begin to go down the ladders. TheyÒre on the stage with the beginning of the vocals (to run ahead, we can say, that the producer of the TV-broadcasting didnÒt undertand and didnÒt pay attention on bare feet of the girls, itÒs a pityÅ)

4.00 PM Yulia took off her red sandals to climb on the pedestal. She, like Lena, daubed the red colour onto her nails. t.A.T.u. rehearse their descending from the pedestal, but itÒs quite trivial and dangerous. At last movements ÓsetÔ to the music. At the end of the rehearsal YuliaÒs feet are grey from the dirty floor. Yulia: please, carry me to the toilette Ö I canÒt put on my sandals so!
After the half-an-hour the girls go home Ö to have some rest and to prepare for the crazt evening. ItÒs known, that the most powerful performances are at the end of long concerts. t.A.T.u. performed at the end, itÒs natural.

8.32 PM Everyone is in the office of t.A.T.u. before the departure to the ceremony. Ó+ñõ÷¹ ýúð-ýþû¹Ô inspires. The officialstatus of t.A.T.u. is the invited stars. ThatÒs why they avoid ostentatious limousines and pathos entrance. They went to the ceremony on the ÓNeformatÔs Mercedes.

9.15 PM Lena and Yulia are in the toilette of their make-up room, where they cut off LenaÒs dress, which is changing from the evening classic dress to the Ótrash-dressÔ. YuliaÒs dress is a long black T-shirt. Among well-dressed stars t.A.T.u. abided by their format Ö in other words, non-format. ItÒs very stuffy in the make-up room. Yulia and Lena is walking from this room to the corridor and the bar.
Lena: the invited stars wonÒt go to any VIP! There is about 3 hours before the performance.
Yulia: what do I feel before the performance? Nothing special Ö now.
Journalists try to get to the girls but with no result.
The position of the group: before the album Ö no interviews.

About the midnight
The performance of t.A.T.u. ItÒs the last performance of the ceremony. Like it was planned before, the silhouettes of t.A.T.u are highlighted on the top of the pedestal during the song Ó- ¸þ°ûð ¸ ºüðÔ is playing. There is confusion in the dancing stalls and in the VIP-seats: no one can believe that there is those t.A.T.u. on the stage, but not their doubles. t.A.T.u. begin to sing Ó+ñõ÷¹ ýúð-ýþû¹Ô, and the hall stands motionless, begins to listen attentively to the new song. The stalls is screaming Ót.A.T.u.! t.A.T.u.!Ô and ÓBravo!Ô after the song. But the girls didnÒt come to the encore. The performance of the Ó+ñõ÷¹ ýúð-ýþû¹Ô is the presentation of the song Ö one of the hits from the album, which will come out in September. If to judge how ÓOlimpiyskyÔ welcomed the new song, we can say that the duo didnÒt betray their status of hit- (trouble-?)makers.
P.S. Attention! In a week fans from Russia and Ukraine will be able to download the codes for the ring-tones of the songs Ó+ñõ÷¹ ýúð-ýþû¹Ô and ÓT¦ôø-øýòðûøôvÔ and also to download exclusive photos (including back-stage) of t.A.T.u. from the Muz-Tv ceremony.
