Interview with Tatu in Poland- with Yulia and Lena on the sofa in Pajamas.

"M"- Man, who was asking the questions.
"Y" - Yulia
"L"- Lena.
01, 02,..,15 are the parts of the video- this is the way they were sent to me. And, as it seems to me, this is the form, in which video was originally broken down.


Interview.

01:
Y: TATU means "That (girl) loves that (other girl)"
M:And which one loves which one?
L: Both of them love two other girls.
Y: That girl and That girl loves That other girl and That other girl.
L: Ta(That girl) Ta(That girl) loves Tu(that other girl) Tu(that other girl)
M:I see.

02:
Yulia and Lena together: Have sex… make love.
M: What type of sex?
Y: Which one? A usual one. And which one do you like more?(laughing)
L: The lesbian type (laughing).
M: What do you mean by lesbian sex? (Yulia and Lena laughing)
L: Masturbation.
M: And what is a masturbation? (Yulia and Lena laughing)
Y: This is…
The female voice behind the camera: …What else do you do besides masturbation?
Y: Such interesting questions you ask here… People have sex. In the same way as a man has sex with a woman. But in our case- a girl has sex with a girl. You ask- how?
L: With the help of vibrator.
Y: You may use also something in the shape of male organ.
L: The artificial one.
(pause)
M: Yes, it is alright.
L: (laughing) Yes, it is alright!
Y: Of course, it's alright! What is so abnormal about it?

03:
Y: No, can you imagine yourself- how is it possible to live without sex?

04:
L: Yes.
Y: Yes, I was sitting there- masturbating and having orgasms.
M: …How is it possible..? (everyone laughing)
L: Plus, if only she had something normal to masturbate with- no, she had to do it with a deodorant.
M: (trying to say something)
Y: (answering to Lena's previous statement) I was doing it with my hands! (sarcastically) Deodorant… What else is she going to say? Hair spray?! Some kind of Pantene ProV, yes?
L: And do like that( shows)
M: I read somewhere, that, judging by the look in your eyes, all of it was true?
Y: Yes, it is true. Voice behind the camera: He means your eyes were expressing it.
Y: Yes, all of it is true. All of it really happened.

05:
Y: Yes, when we had the presentation of the video in Moscow we had a lot of politicians there- approximately 10 of them. After they saw us, our video, they said that now they can easily change the law.
L: Yes, in other words, there was this man, who suggested this law ( the law which woud prohibit this type of video). And, after meeting us, he simply said that they are going to eliminate this law.

06:
Y: What do you mean by saying "black" and "white"?
L: He means, "bad" and "good".
M: There was something you were telling in some Internet article…
Y: (interrupting) Well, no- there are no good or bad people. In every person there is something negative.
L: They are all different.
Y: Yes, they are simply all different. In every person there is something positive and something negative.
L: And, after all, which, I think, is known by everyone , every country has unique type of mentality. And, of course, Russia and, specifically, Moscow, are very different from another cities, countries, and so on.

07:
Y: Actually, you know, our project is really built on a scandalous issue. We are a scandalous group. All the ideas for the songs, all the ideas for our videos- all of it are ideas of our producer Ivan Shapovalov. He is the person who develops all the ideas for the texts of our songs (Lena laughing) . Of course, the authors of the songs are the ones who later on compose actual texts. But the beginning is originated by our producer.
M: (telling something)
L: (laughing) And the ending is also made by our producer.
Man and voice behind the camera: …Are you co-authors of the compositions?
Y: Well, what do you mean by "co-authors"- in lyrics or music? In reality, we can write poetry, but this poetry is not related to our project.
L: And all the songs are written not just for the cause of us simply singing these songs, but it is also for the sake of depiction of our lives.

08:
L: Because, probably, they love it- that's all. Because they love our music. Our songs.
Y: (whispering) Because she loves- that's all.
L: (continuing) Our poetry. (laughing)
M: And why do some people hate you?
L: Well, because they don't like us- us, our music, our…
Y: You know, actually, I think, that this attitude..
M: (interrupting) And who doesn't like you specifically?
L: You know, whether they like it, or not…
Y: Sleep, my beauty ( a figure of speech)
L: Yes, sleep my beauty- those , who don't like it, don't have to listen to it. But what is mostly interesting- there are no indifferent people. Nobody stays indifferent… In other words, they either love us, or hate us.
Y: I think, this is a right attitude.

09:
L: Because people in Poland know Russian language. (pause) Because at some point all of us (Russians and Polish) lived together.

10:
L: It's obvious.
Y: Because Russian language is similar to Polish in some ways.
L: Yes, similar to a Polish language.

11:
Y: Well, you understand, there many different boys and many different girls. Some of them, who come… how should I put it… who have sex..
L: Yes, who have sex.
Y: Yes, who have sex- if to say it properly in Russian language (laughing) A young man can come to the girl's place, and they can go the store and buy some groceries, they can go somewhere for socializing. All people are different. I mean, if some boy went to some girl's place- I can't tell you what they are going to do for sure. May be, they are watching TV. May be, they are cooking. May be, doing the laundry. May be, vacuuming. How am I supposed to know? With me and Lena it is also very different at many times.

12:
L: Everyone has a different approach to it.
Y: Oh, my God! Don't you understand that such laws as in America in regards to sex and in regards to that the girl who is not 18 years old yet is not allowed to see a man who is , let's say, 20 years old- it is foolish! We don't have such rules in Moscow (Russia). A girl who is 15 years old may be dating a man who is 35 years old- and nobody is going to say anything. And the same approach is applied to the relationship between a girl and a girl. Our laws are not like some laws in America! And Russia, in fact, is very different in general. In fact, every city and every country are different from each other.

13:
L: Why did you ask about Pugacheva? It is probably the first individual in Russia who started achieving her goals independently (in the sphere of music)… When they ask who in Russia is the person (in the sphere of music) who is very well known? Then, yes, everyone knows Alla Pugacheva, because she sings for quite a while already and she grew up (in the sphere of her vocal abilities) greatly, she is one of those… But the matter is that now Alla Pugacheva is mostly understood by older people. I mean, not many younger people understand her now. Even though her songs were always famous and are now. I would say, her songs are classics. And, among the popular groups… there are many various groups.. but…
M: "Igoryok" (name of the musical group) - is it popular?
Y: "Igoryok" ? Well, yes. But not to such level. But..still, yes.

14:
Y: What can Russia give to Europe?
M: In the sense of music.
Y: Well, the matter is that Europe… Well, any country has its own predetermined style. May be. And if in Moscow there is one type of pop music, then in Europe and America, I think, there is quite a different pop music.
L: In Russia, many musical compositions are very beautiful.Yes.
Y: Also, all melodies in Russia are very similar to each other. What do people do now? They apply the same synthetic sounds. And then another performer hears this music and decides to use some of it plus adds something of his own. So, now in Russia, there is this pop music, this monotonous rhythm, these identical synthetic sounds - everything has a lot of similarities. And most melodies, if to listen to them all sound the same. For example, to me all of it is a very homogenous mixture. There are not many performers in Russia that when you listen to them you understand that this something of their own. That this a pop music, but made with a good quality- the sounds, lyrics, the voice. But mostly they copy it off each other.

15:
M: Do you know this saying: "Chicken is not a bird, Poland is not abroad" ?
L: We know.
Y: Chicken is not a bird?
L: Poland is not abroad...
Y: Yes.
Man and voice behind the camera: In what way this saying is used?
(Yulia laughing)
L: Well, no, we met this saying in life situation when we were flying to Poland. And, otherwise…
