The USA and NATO had a lot to do with that. Putin is on record as actually wanting to join NATO and perhaps the EU back then, but instead of carefully courting him and finally achieving the dream of integrating Russia into the West - with all the consequences for long term global peace and stability that would entail - the US not only fast-tracked the Eastern European countries into NATO, including the Baltic states that had been part of the Soviet Union just a few years before, but parked their military and even nukes there.
On the subject of TATU, they were more than a one hit wonder. They made a number of catchy tunes. I saw them live in London once when they played a few songs at the big HMV store in Oxford Street. Russia has made a lot of tuneful pop over the last couple of decades, but none of it ever registers in the West. For some reason that TATU song/video did - probably because it featured a pair of 16 year old fake lesbian schoolgirls in uniform, lol.
