On the opening track “There Behind the Fogs”, the director Oleg Gusev and cameraman Max Osadchim filmed a video aired in November 1997. A video was also shot for the song “Guys from Our Yard”. In February 1998, Lube went on a concert tour in support of the new album, which ended on February 24, 1998 with a performance in the Pushkinsky concert hall, the recording of which was released as a separate album (02.24.98. Songs from the concert program).
The album is designed in an already unusual manner for the group. The cover shows Lube members traveling in a train car. Calm was felt not only in the design of the disc, but also in the compositions themselves. These are songs about human relationships: a feeling of happiness and unhappiness, sadness over bygone times.
