Vesyolye Ulybki

Vesyolye Ulybki (Cyrillic: Весёлые Улыбки; translation: Happy Smiles) is t.A.T.u.'s third and final Russian (fifth overall) studio album, released on 21 October 2008. The album was no longer handled by their primary producers and songwriters, which included Martin Kierszenbaum and Trevor Horn. Instead, it was produced by producers including Billy Steinberg, Josh Alexander, Sergio Galoyan. The album's working title was Upravleniye Otbrosami (Cyrillic: Управление Отбросами; translation: Waste Management). The album reached sales of more than 250,000 copies in Russia. The English counterpart, Waste Management, was released in December 2009.

The album was made available to music streaming platforms in 2020.

The duo began recording the third Russian-language album, alongside its English counterpart, in early 2007 in Germany. All the Russian-language tracks were completed on 28 September 2007. The album's title was announced to be Upravleniye Otbrosami, which translates to "Waste Management", and was originally scheduled to be released in June 2008. However, a press release had officially stated that it would be entitled Весёлые Улыбки instead, as it 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. Because of the name change, the album's release date was postponed to October 2008. Nonetheless, the album's original title would still be used for the English counterpart, released a year later.
