Yulia Volkova Photos, Wallpaper and Picture

Yulia Olegovna Volkova (Russian: Юля Олеговна Волкова pronunciation: Yulya Olyegovna Volkova), (born 20 February 1985), is a Russian singer and actress best known as one-half of the Russian pop duo t.A.T.u. along with Lena Katina.

Yulia Olegovna Volkova is an only child, born and raised in Moscow to a middle-class family. Her father, Oleg Volkov, was a businessman and her mother, Larissa Volkova was a hairdresser. At the age of 6, Volkova enrolled in music school and began learning how to play the piano. When she was 9, Volkova became a member of Russia's children's chorus Neposedi, from which she would later meet fellow t.A.T.u singer, Lena Katina.

At age 11, Volkova transferred to a school fostering artistic talent, and three years later left Neposedi to join t.A.T.u. She has insisted that she was banned from Neposedi for misbehaving, but Neposedi representatives deny this, saying that she simply graduated as all of their members did at a certain age.

In February 2003, Volkova was reported to have had an abortion after being spotted at an abortion clinic in Moscow. It was later confirmed by Volkova in the 2003 documentary series "Anatomy of t.A.T.u." In May 2004, Volkova announced that she was pregnant by her then long-time boyfriend Pavel Sidorov, which caused some controversy due to Sidorov already having a wife and daughter. Daughter Viktoria Pavlovna Volkova was born on 23 September 2004, in Moscow. She does not keep in contact with Sidorov.

Volkova then had a long term relationship with businessman Parviz Yasinov. The press reported that the two got married and she converted to Islam for him, but she denied this. It was reported and confirmed that Volkova was pregnant with her second child, her first with Yasinov, around June 2007. Volkova gave birth to a baby boy named Samir on 27 December 2007, in Moscow. The couple stated that they wanted to get married in the future. In 2010, Volkova confirmed that she and Yasinov had broken up, but denied claims that she had been separated from her son.

On 5 June 2008, t.A.T.u. canceled a concert scheduled for 19 June due to Volkova falling ill. The official site didn't give exact details of her illness. It has been speculated by the media that she either was diagnosed with postpartum depression or had plastic surgery to enhance her lips, but nothing was ever confirmed. On 19 June, a blog entry was posted by Lena saying that "Yulia's better" and shortly after Volkova appeared to be resuming normal activities.

Many Russian websites started claiming Yulia had left t.A.T.u. to go solo in March 2009. The group's blog rejected the claims that Yulia had quit but stated that both girls would be doing separate solo projects from now on and t.A.T.u was no longer a full time job. However, in early January, the duo released a video in which they said they were still together and were planning more songs in 2010. In March 2011, Yulia confirmed through an interview with Romanian website Star-Gossip.com that she and her boyfriend have accepted Islam.
