"Ne Ver', Ne Boysia" (Cyrillic: "Не верь, не бойся"; Translated: "Don't Trust, Don't be Afraid") also known as "Ne Ver', Ne Boisya, Ne Prosi" ("Don't believe, Don't fear, Don't ask") is a song by t.A.T.u. that they performed at the 2003 Eurovision Song Contest while representing Russia. Although the girls placed third, the song got much attention.

The title of the song is based on a Russian prison saying, which entered Russian mainstream culture thanks to Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn's book The Gulag Archipelago.

The song was first released on the UK Maxi single for "Not Gonna Get Us" on May 19, 2003. It was then released on the UK Deluxe Edition of 200 km/h in the Wrong Lane on May 26, 2003. It was then released on November 25, 2003 in t.A.T.u. Remixes. The song reappeared in 2006 on The Best.

The only physical single for "Ne Ver.." was a 'not for sale' promo release distributed for Eurovision.

According to Australian-born Mars Lasar, the song was produced by him and Shapovalov by sending MP3s over the internet to each other, with Mars in the U.S. and Shapovalov in Russia.

The are several versions of the song, including the promotional version that was used for Eurovision promotions.
