Russian Lesbians Causing A Stir (" Nedeljski dnevnik" - Slovenia)Time of publication: 13.02.2003 |
Lena and Yulia aren't a couple only on a stage.
1200 fans from Poland almost went crazy, when two girls dressed in white shirts and short red checkered skirts appeared in the Olivia Hall in Gdansk. They sang a song, Nas Ne Dogoniat (in this article the title of the song was translated in to slowene languge as: He Is Not Gonna Get Us - freddie), raising their long legs up high and spinning around. The boys in the Olivia Hall were screaming, whistling and spurring them on. And in the end of the next song, All The Thing She Said: Shock! Lena and Yulia tenderly embraced, which lead to a long and passionate kiss. The audience was confused (Really??? – Freddie). Lesbian games on the stage--they had never seen anything like it!
For a coulple of months, Lena and her friend Yulia have been causing outrage in Eastern Europe. They broke all taboos with the tender anthem of love: All The Things She Said. They started out last summer in Moscow, where they live. After the concerts in Lithuania, Latvia and Poland, they are now targeting the Western markets, to conquer Germany, the UK and the US. Their ironic motto is 200Km/h in the Wrong Lane.
Julia Olegovna Volkova is 18, and Lena Sergejevna Katina is 17 (stupid reporters –Freddie). Yulia likes to play tennis, dance (also ballet), swim and figure skate. Lena likes to ride horses. The Muscovites have been stars in Russia for two years now. 1,5 milion copies of their debut album 200Km/h In The Wrong Lane (writen in english – a mistake –freddie) have been sold, as well as 5 milion illegal copies.
What are they saying about themselves ? "We love eachother, but we like men also. Besides, there is something homosexual in every one of us. We would like to encourage everyone not to hide their emotions."
They met when they were 6 in a musical school, where they were learning to play piano. Later, they went on to sing in a children's band, until Yulia got expelled for her provocative behavior.
Child psychologist and commercial expert Ivan Scapalov (oh my god – freddie) made a video with them just for fun and t.A.T.u. duet was born. It was only in the video that the parents found out that their daugters were lesbians, and that they didn't intend to hide it. They were shocked. The girls got hate mail, because parents of Russian children believed they were encouraging their children to embrace homosexual love. They were even attacked with knifes and crowbars...
The hot love scenes contribute more to their success than their music. Lena and Yulia are cuddling, kissing and singing about passionate lesbian love.
They announced publicly that they also love each other in real life, that they have been dating for 2 years. Lena smiles: "The boy that is going to separate us is yet to be born."
