Three tracks from Lyudi Invalidy do not have counterparts on Dangerous and Moving:

Four tracks from Dangerous and Moving do not have counterparts on Lyudi Invalidy:

Reception

Controversy

In November 2006, a lawsuit was filed against t.A.T.u. over the album and song (both titled “Lyudi Invalidy”) which literally translates to “Disabled People”. Leonid Vakuev, a human rights representative for the Komi Republic, interpreted the song as being directed towards disabled people and cited words written in the booklet for the album, which said: " do not know what it means to be a human being. They are fakes inside the human form. They do not live, but — function". Katina said, "Of course, we meant moral invalids, people who do not have a soul and human feelings." When Katina was asked if they had anything against disabled people, she stated that she finds it offensive to refer to people by that term, and added, "We take pictures together and make sure they have priority seats ."
