200 Po Vstrechnoy (tribute album)
200 Po Vstrechnoy is a tribute album to the band t.A.T.u., released on November 5, 2021, by Lookport. The release is dedicated to the 20th anniversary of the band's debut album 200 Po Vstrechnoy.
Description
The release was created in collaboration with the co-authors of t.A.T.u. – Elena Kiper, Sergey Galoyan, and Valery Polienko, whose songs are mainly featured on the tribute album.
In support of the tribute, its participants performed at the Music Media Dome, Russia's largest concert hall, on November 20, 2021.
Group reaction
Julia Volkova's concert director, Katerina Dorosh, reported that t.A.T.u. has nothing to do with the release. She also specified that both members of the duo did not refuse to take part in the recording of the tribute album.
However, producer and songwriter Sergio Galoyan provided a different account of the friction surrounding the tribute show. In a 2026 interview, Galoyan claimed that the duo had "tried to stop" the tribute show and requested significant financial compensation to participate. He noted that the conflict led him to briefly ban Lena Katina from performing his songs. Galoyan stated that while he remains open to future collaborations, he is waiting for a formal apology from Katina to repair their "internal relationship" before writing new material for the group.
Reviews
Boris Barabanov: "Despite the fact that melodically and harmonically, many of t.A.T.u.'s songs are not particularly striking, and one must work hard to find hidden musical depths in them, the album is important as a reminder that we did have such times.".
Mikhail Kozyrev praised the release, and t.A.T.u producer Ivan Shapovalov said that "he is very pleased that the album has taken place and is a tribute to the band he created."
Alexey Mazhayev of InterMedia gave the album mostly positive reviews. The only thing the reviewer emphasized in a negative context was the rap versions, the addition of his own verses, and the funk style of processing. He felt that this was "mostly not a hit" here.
