"Люди инвалиды" (Lyudi Invalidy) was the first single from t.A.T.u.'s sophomore album Люди Инвалиды.

Люди инвалиды (Lyudi Invalidy) was only released in Russia. The single was released on two versions as promo singles. The song was responding well on Russian radio and charts, however the song "Обезьянка ноль" was getting more of a response on MUZ chats. A few weeks after the release of this single, "All About Us" was sent to radio stations and became a huge hit, surpassing "Люди Инвалиды." Sergei Pimenov of PPK did several of the remixes.

[edit] Music Video

Left to right: Katina and Volkova, from a scene in the video for "Люди Инвалиды"

The video shows many of the 'lifeless immorality' that the song is about. Ironically, the video's message of 'invalid people' include homosexuality, as there are scenes of same-sex kissing. Most of the video depicts the lives of the sexual immoral, rather than those who are unable to emote for others as what t.A.T.u have described the song's meaning to be. Yulia and Lena are seen walking through these people of all walks of life.

One of the episodes was shot in the Los Angeles side street that is a life and hang-out place of the homeless. The latter were asked to leave the side street for the time of shooting. But the place stank so much that it had to be washed with chlorinated water under high pressure. After the side street smelled more or less satisfactory, another difficulty emerged: part of the crew appeared to be very sensitive to chlorine and had to wear respirators till the end of the shooting.
