had been played live. That year, they played the first "Rok-Sich" festival, a festival started by Skrypka with the intent to foster local talent. The rules for the Rock Sich are that any genre other than pop is acceptable and that all bands must sing in Ukrainian, however VV broke their own rule and played "Pops" at the concert in the original Russian and with the original uncensored lyrics. The performance was released on CD in 2008, DVD in 2011 and double LP in 2012. The standard one-CD version of the Rock Sich album had two tracks cut due to space constraints, but a two-CD version was available with the missing tracks restored. The missing tracks were also on the vinyl and DVD. In August 2009 they played as headliners at the “Be Free” festival organized by the European Radio for Belarus in Chernihiv (Ukraine) together with Lyapis Trubetskoy, Hair Peace Salon, and more Belarusian rock bands. They released the singles "Lado" and "Chio San" in 2009 and "Vidpustka" (a reworking of a track from 1987) in 2010. Their next album, "Chudovy svit", was released on 18 October 2013. "Lado", "Chio San" and "Vidpustka" were included on the album. Between 2013 and 2016, the group carried out a vinyl rerelease campaign. In 2017, Melchenko left the group and was replaced by Mykola Usaty. The group are currently translating old, unreleased Russian-language songs from the 1980s and early 1990s into Ukrainian and recording them for a new album, due out at the end of 2019 or the beginning of 2020. On 25 November 2022, the group re-released their 2006 song "Buly denky" as a single, to celebrate the recapture of Kherson by Ukrainian forces.
