the authorities. Despite this unofficial three-year ban, the group continued its concert activity. Numerous performances abroad took place in Poland, Germany, Slovakia, Sweden. In Belarus, however, the group remained on the forbidden list, therefore they seldom held public concerts and played in underground conditions. In 2007, sixth studio album 06 was released. It was recorded, according to Lavon Volski, under the influence of political events of spring 2006 in Belarus. The album is compiled with songs of different styles. The violoncello, mandoline, and keyboard were used, all of which were new instruments for the group. For the first time songs were sung not only by Lavon Volski, but also by other participants of the group and even a children's choir. After a late-2007 meeting of Belarusian rock-musicians with the deputy head of the Presidential Administration on Ideology Oleg Proleskovsky, the band was removed from the banned list. For its concert, at the "Rock Coronation Awards" 2009 ceremony in May 2010 the band got awarded in the category of “Event of the Year”. In 2010, Volski left the group.
