t.A.T.u. on TRL wearing printed versions of the slogan.

"Hui Voine!" (Russian: Хуй войне!; Pronounced [xuj vojnʲe] — English approximation: khui voyne) translated in English as "Fuck the war" , is a phrase developed by former t.A.T.u. producer Ivan Shapovalov during the girls' promotional tour in the USA in early 2003. The slogan first debuted on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.

When the slogan was being created, which is shown in the documentary, Anatomy of t.A.T.u., Shapovalov said it meant "No War" (Нет войне!), however the slang translations may vary to "Penis in War" or a creative way of saying "Fuck War" in a literal sense. The girls wore plain t-shirts with the slogan on it, and when their shirts were replaced with ones that said "Censored" on Jimmy Kimmel Live, they wrote it on Jimmy Kimmel's hand. The girls also wore the shirts to TRL.

Fans in Russia even wore their own versions of the shirts at performances, however when shown on Russian TV, the shirts were edited to say "Жуй войне!" (Chew War).
