Ver' v chudesa (Russian: Верь в чудеса, lit.'Believe in miracles') is a fifth studio album by Russian singer Kristina Orbakaitė, released in 2002 by NOX Music. The album includes such hits as "Da-di-dam", "Moy mir" and "Lyubov, kotoroy bolshe net", which became winners of the Golden Gramophone Award^[1][2] and Pesnya goda.^[3][4][5]

Critical reception

Tatiana Davydova, in her review for InterMedia, remarked that "if the main principle of show business is 'cherchez la hit', then the album Ver' v chudesa is just what's needed," since (using an equivalent Russian idiom) it is absolutely crawling with hits. She gave varied ratings to the album's individual songs, with the highest praise ("masterpiece") reserved for "Moy mir". Overall, she expressed that Orbakaitė had reached a high level of artistry despite her "obvious" lack of vocal talent.^[6]

Alexander Murzak from Zvuki.ru called the album "a typical product of brutal Russian show business", made according to the formula "they copied what they could, stole what they could, the rest was somehow born on its own".^[7]
