Yulia Olegovna Volkova (Юлия Олеговна Волкова), born 20 February 1985) is one of the members of the Russian duo t.A.T.u., usually known as Julia Volkova. They are notorious for shocking the public and trying to break taboos by performing on stage in only their underwear. Volkova is known for being the "bad girl" of the group.
In early 2004, Volkova's voice began to deteriorate during the recording of t.A.T.u.'s second album, which was documented on the reality show t.A.T.u. in Podnebsnaya. Due to the stress put on her voice by notes then-producer Ivan Shapovalov insisted she sing, she developed a vocal fold cyst. Despite reluctance on behalf of the management of t.A.T.u. and Ivan Shapovalov himself, as her contract stated that any financial loss due to her hospital stay and recovery would be her liability, she underwent surgery to remove the cyst in October, 2004. Not only leaving a large scar on her neck, it delayed the band's progress severely. Shortly after the end of t.A.T.u. in Podnebsnaya, t.A.T.u. entered a new contract with Universal Music Russia, which was used to let off Shapovalov in favor of Boris Rensky, who had worked with both t.A.T.u. and Shapovalov previously. She is currently undergoing therapy to repair her voice.
In May 2004, Volkova announced that she was pregnant and that her long-time boyfriend Pavel (Pasha) Sidorov was the father. She gave birth to her first child, Viktoria Pavlovna Volkova, on September 23, 2004. Volkova split up with Sidorov in spring 2005. However, she didn't stay single for long. While in Los Angeles, during 2005, recording the second album, Yulia started to date Tigran, a businessman and fellow Russian.
Also in April 2006, Yulia was reported to be dating former Smash!! and Neposedi member, Vlad Topalov. It was said that that she loved him very much, and wanted to have a child with him. Rumors surfaced later in 2006 that the two were married. On July 14th 2006, MTV Russia aired a TV segment announcing that Yulia was pregnant with Topalov's child. It has now been announced on 21st July 2006 that this is not the case, by Eugenia Voevodina, the press-attache of the group.
