AleAda (Russian: АлеАда) is Linda's sixth studio album (fifteenth overall), released in Russia on October 16, 2006. AleAda was recorded in Cyprus along with Greek producer Stefanos Korkolis.

Of the album, Linda said:

“AleAda is a word from Stefanos Korkolis' and my language. The album deals with people very close to us. Analogous to the name is the word "infinity" - the cardiogram of heart, which is always beating and always bears its message for each person. "AleAda" can be considered the catalyst that one aspires to achieve internal harmony within; one who knows what warmth, love, and a mother is.” [2]

The first single from AleAda was released in March 2006, and unveiled as "Ya ukradu". This song became the biggest radio single since "Begi" from AtakA.[1]
