(razom!

), My Brother!

(United) (together!) The renaming of the album was deemed appropriate due to the fact that the winning song of the Eurovision Song Contest 2012 had the same name.

Ruslana wishes to raise the alarm of widespread deforestation in the Carpathians in her album. Her goal is to protect the Carpathian primeval forests, their unique wildlife, and a unique heritage.
