Namedni Video TranslationTranslation by Kostik Without time and dedication, this translation would not have been possible. It's good to know that there are wonderful folks in this world! Today I read your topic "Namedni video" and thought I could translate the Russian in the video. I guess it could be very interesting for people who do not understand Russian. But I must say that my English is not perfect, maybe a little poor for it. But you could see it yourself if you would read the translation. I hope you will understand and enjoy it! As for me I come from Russia but I have been living in Germany for 5 years. I have learned English as a foreign language in the school and at the university. I study economics. So I am not a professional translator... The quality of the video is unfortunately very bad. Maybe only by me? It seems not as a video but as a diapositive film show, consisting of some pics. But I did my best... 
I set my annotations in the [brackets]. Here is the text:
The news presenter: The first place in the Britain charts of the English version of the song "Ya soshla s uma" of the duet t.A.T.u. is the highest achievement of the Russian pop culture in its all history. The single or the album became the gold or the platinum one in Italy, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Belgium, Spain and Switzerland before. [The text below: Tatu - gold and platinum. The rest is unfortunately unreadable] But England is the most difficult market in Europe and is a world music trendsetter. [The text below: Tatu is No. 1 in England. Then unreadable... "All the Things She Said" ("Ya soshla s uma")] The achievements of t.A.T.u. are comparable with the win of our tennis-players of the Davis cup only. The ditty of t.A.T.u. "Prostye dvizheniya" ["Simple Movements"] is at the first places in the Russian charts too. [The text below: Tatu is No. 1 in Russia. Unreadable...] But all the time there were disputes this week: "Is it good that Russia is resounded all over the world by the ditties of Lena and Yulya?" There is a real scandal in England. There are articles in the press about "lesbian tricks, propa-ganda of paedophilia", which "connive at dirty fantasies of old men about girls in the school uni-form." [The text below: Tatu - England - Scandal. Unreadable...] The English scandal about paedophilia in the Russian pop culture reminds of the 5 years old scandal on the same occasion in the Russian classical culture very much, when they tried to for-bid the distribution of the new screen version of "Lolita". Nabokov's son Dmitry stated vigor-ously that "even a cap burns at a thief's head" reminding the critics of the movie of "rich" tradi-tions of paedophilia in the English schools and among the English hypocrites. ["Even a cap burns at a thief's head" is a Russian saying that roughly translated means "Everybody has sins and nobody is perfect. And that one who blames the others for their little sins is often the most sinful one.] [The text below: "Lolita" - England - Scandal. 1997. Unreadable...] Meanwhile, in the rain singing girls are already at the 8Th place of the US single charts and the magazine "Time" forecasts further rise in the article about t.A.T.u. "From Russia with lust". [The text below: Tatu in the USA] Alexey Pivovarov about kisses and rises at the charts... [The photo of the girls and with the text "Prostye dvizheniya"] Yulia (laughing): Don't photograph us! Pivovarov, the reporter of NTV: Of course! They will photograph and show and pick them to pieces: the 1st place at the Britain charts is not a place for modest girls. "All the Things She Said" is "Ya soshla s uma", but not metaphrase. The video clip in the both languages is the same. Artemy Troitsky, musical critic: All the talks about that how good they knows Phillip Kirkorov, Alla Pugachyova or any singer as Alsou at the West are absolute bluff. I.e. nobody knows them there and no one needs them in general, except our emigrants there. t.A.T.u. is a really very trendy band at the West now. I think it is a very big achievement. [Phillip Kirkorov and Alla Pugachyova are the most famous singers in Russia. But their music is more for the older genera-tion. Alsou is very popular in Russia too. Her music is younger. She was at the 2nd place in the Eurovision Song Contest in 2000, sang in the duet with Enrique Iglesias and her single "Before You Love Me" at the West.] Yulia: My name is Julia... I'm from Russia. Lena: ...My name is Lena...Lena, Lena, no, Lina, no, Lena, no, Lina! A guy: Ah! From Russian? Ya soshla s uma! Alla Pugachyova (laughing): When even I like them...Well... It is success, sure... Yulia: At the beginning, when it began in Europe... It was for us just as a... I don't know to what I could compare it... Lena: Shock! Yulia: Yes, probably shock. Because we are really the first from the Russian bands that won in Europe and is winning in America now. I.e. I think it is really for the first time. And I don't un-derstand why people react so... Pivovarov: And the reaction is so: t.A.T.u. was named as pornography on Friday in the TV pro-gram "Svoboda slova" ["The Freedom of Speech"]. And their video clip was forbidden in the won Great Britain. Yulia: ...in Spain, in Australia... maybe... Michelle Elliott, director of the fund "Kidscape": The problem is not how the girls are dressed and even not that they kiss each other, posing or not posing as Lesbians. The problem is that they say: "Teenager sex is a good and right idea. In reality it provokes to sexual violence against chil-dren. Pivovarov: The famous TV presenters Judy Finigan and Richard Madly demand to forbid t.A.T.u. as well. Madly is translated in a literal sense as "silly". The producer Ivan Shapovalov was reported to the police. It is possible that he visited internet sites with children pornography. Pit Tounser, the creator of the legendary The Who is under ex-amination for the same reason now. The reporter of the yellow newspaper "Sun" flied from London specially. Her first question to Shapovalov is: "Is that true that you have had sex with t.A.T.u.?" - "No." answers Shapovalov. Shapovalov: Do you remember the funeral of the Princess Diana? Do you remember there was a conflict in the society? How should you actually treat the princess who leaves the prince...? And then with Doddy... How should you react that? It was somehow not great but everyone loved her. It is the same with t.A.T.u. [The text below: Ivan Shapovalov, the producer of the band Tatu.] Pivovarov: The most famous ban of the broadcast on BBC is the song "Lord, save the queen!" Even without this fact scandalous famous Sex Pistols became the legend of the resistance in 1977. Artemy Troitsky, musical critic: Of course, it is blasphemy to draw an analogy between Sex Pis-tols or even Franky Goes to Hollywood and t.A.T.u. Because they were ideological fighters, they were, one might say, real pop and rock revolutionists. But here [he means t.A.T.u.] we have to do with a marketing trick. Yulia: It is our business. We sing and bring joy and love to people. And not that...They consider that we propagandize the Lesbian love... Lena: We are not deputies! Yulia: Yes. We don't express ourselves that we are Lesbians... (To Lena): Come on! Lena (laughing): What? What should I say? Yulia (laughing, to Lena): Take it easy!.. We are Lesbians! Come on! Propagandize it! You see he just said... Lena (laughing, to Yulia): Direct into the camera? Yulia (to Lena): Yes! Directly! Lena (to Yulia): Maybe at the night... [Then I cannot really understand what they are saying in the end: they are speaking together, quietly and indistinctly here. Sorry!] Pugachyova: They are so pure and erotic... And sex appeal, I mean something about: "Come on baby!", is practically at the 1st place in the show business. [The text below: Alla Pugachyova, national artist of the USSR] Pivovarov: t.A.T.u. and their producer reply to Englishmen with the English arguments. They say: "Your embassy building for example. This is high-tech, architectural avant-garde, isn't it? And you have painted designer's pattern on the airplanes of British Airways. Is it possible that t.A.T.u. is too radical for you? [The text below: Alexey Pivovarov, NTV] But the official Russia doesn't hurry to be proud of the success of its daughters. The victorious procession of t.A.T.u. through Europe was not named "The Russian seasons of Shapovalov" by us. Mikhail Shvydkoy, the culture minister of the Russian Federation: I would not say that it is a phenomenon of the Russian culture. I think when it would be a phenomenon of the Russian cul-ture, it should be one of ballet, symphonic music or maybe circus. Pivovarov: If we say it protocolary t.A.T.u. are "honoured artists and masters of the scene" now. But another, traditional artists and masters are called to the Kremlin meeting with the President. Vladimir Putin, the President of the Russian Federation: The artist always realizes himself bounds of allowable in public morals. He [or she, the President means "the artist"] should have a delicate feeling of the social needs and mood. Pivovarov: t.A.T.u. carry out the order of the President definitely: places in the hot ten from Ma-laysia to the USA. Is it not "a delicate feeling of the social needs"? Yulia: I think if the President needs to talk with us he will find us himself. The words in the song: ...Half an hour to derail the train. Half an hour, it's not your lane... Pugachyova: People are so lonely in our world, so that it is difficult to find a person who is close to your liking even in your class. You should think of it... In principle, such bands as t.A.T.u. put this problem. Pivovarov: Alexey Pivovarorov, Alexey Chervyakov, Vladimir Dovgal, NTV. The end I hope you could understand my translation and it didn't contain very many mistakes. Sincerely, Konstantin
