-	200 Po Wstretschnoi Tour (2000-2002)	200 km / h in the Wrong Lane Tour (2003)

The 200 Po Wstretschnoi Tour was the first concert tour of the Russian singing duo tATu. It began on November 26, 2000 in Moscow and ended on April 16, 2002 in Tel Aviv. It served as a promotion for the debut album of the same name, 200 Po Wstretschnoi , which was released in May 2001 and is still one of the best-selling musical albums in Russia.

The tour attracted a lot of attention in Russia and Eastern Europe. During each show, the two singers Jelena Katina and Julija Wolkowa kissed several times, asked the audience to do the same, and sometimes stripped down to their underwear. All of this was part of the marketing strategy of the then manager Ivan Schapovalov , who relied on provocation as a success accelerator. This type of marketing was completely new to a large part of the audience who had grown up in the Soviet Union and its successor states, so that the concerts attracted a large number of people. The cheap concert tickets (in Tyumen, for example, the equivalent of around US $ 7) reinforced this effect.

Several of the concerts took place in smaller clubs and discos with only a few hundred spectators, while others were held in front of several thousand visitors. Some shows were broadcast live by the Russian branch of the music broadcaster MTV , for example the performance on March 17, 2001 in the Moscow Kremlin Hall. A concert planned in Plovdiv, Bulgaria , for which more than 10,000 concert tickets had already been sold, had to be canceled at short notice due to security concerns. According to the then Bulgarian Interior Minister Petkanov, there had previously been riots at a concert in Gabrovo . In fact, the responsible authorities showed themselves to be overwhelmed at many performances, in Kazakhstan even the military was called in to secure the concerts. After tATu had been pelted with bottles and stones by homophobes several times , their manager Ivan Shapovalov hired some former Spetsnaz elite soldiers as bodyguards for the duration of the concert tour.

Playback was used on almost all of the performances. At the beginning of the tour, the two singers Wolkowa and Katina each received the equivalent of US $ 100 per performance, later US $ 350 and finally US $ 600.
