Khuy Voyne! (also transliterated as Hui Voine; Russian: Хуй войне!, IPA: [ˈxujvɐjˈnje] , lit. 'Fuck war') is a phrase developed by former t.A.T.u. producer Ivan Shapovalov during the duo's promotional tour in the United States in early 2003.
Origins and the Iraq War
[edit ]On February 25, 2003, the women performed on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno , and mocked NBC's insistence that they neither kiss nor comment on the Iraq War by performing "All the Things She Said" from their first English album 200 km/h in the Wrong Lane in white T-shirts that bore the slogan across the front, and by blocking their faces with their hands as they kissed during a break in their performance. The stunt prompted NBC to ban t.A.T.u. from any future performance, but it also helped their international record sales.[1] [2]
On February 26, when the shirts were banned from Jimmy Kimmel Live! and replaced with ones that said "Censored", they wrote the slogan on Jimmy Kimmel's hand.[3] The two also wore the shirts to TRL on March 3 and Last Call with Carson Daly on March 5.
The documentary Anatomy of t.A.T.u. states that when the slogan was being created, Shapovalov said that it is a Russian slang way to say "No to War" (Нет войне!), however the slang translations may vary to "Dick to War" (word-by-word) or a creative way of saying "Fuck War".
Russo-Ukrainian war
[edit ]Following the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022, the phrase became an anti-war slogan (along with "No to War" — «Нет войне»), often used at protest rallies both within and outside Russia. The online media outlet Mediazona later launched a podcast of the same name.[4]
