Production problems
The album was slated first to be released on June 11 (Koldun's birthday), 2008 but some minor production problems caused the release to be postponed to autumn 2008.

Since the dispute Koldun is now his own producer and the album release was pushed to February/March 2009. Koldun has said (translated from Russian) "I was deciding for a long time what to do, but at the end of all I saw this is not going to work out and I decided to be my own producer. To be alone and be able to do with my music what I want."After more than two years since Koldun was first made popular in Eurovision
