t.A.T.u: "We loved each other from the very first moment!"

Yulia (18) & Lena (18): The hottest pop act & the most discussed lovers of the world! In their home country, the lesbian Russians triggered a full-blown gay-wave among their fans. The uninhibited love between "Ta" (this one) and "Tu" (that one) became a global topic. BRAVO met the girls in Moscow for an intimate interview...

BRAVO: Since when have you loved each other?
Lena: From the first moment, I thought Yulia was sweet. When I saw her for the first time, I was attracted to her immediately! That was eight years ago with the Russian children's band Neposedi, where we both used to sing.
Yulia: We were still very young then, but I thought about sex all the time even then. I got my first really erotic French kiss from a girl at my 14th birthday party during "spin the bottle".

BRAVO: When did it "click" between you?
Lena: Three years ago on a dancefloor. That was shortly after our manager Ivan had chosen us at a casting for t.A.T.u. Before that I had only kissed a boy once. And that wasn't really great. Yulia was my first lesbian experience. And I loved it!

BRAVO: Why?
Lena: Her lips were so soft, and she smelled just wonderful. She was super tender... just sweet!
Yulia: Boys can be pretty sweet sometimes as well. It's fun to go out with them, but they're nothing for the bed.

BRAVO: An English magazine reported that you had to sleep with Ivan, as a sex test as it were. Is that true?
Lena: No, that's a lie. Ivan never said anything like that either, although he loves to shock people. He's a pretty cool and clever guy. He always says, "Don't get upset at what the papers write. Only great bands create scandals!"

BRAVO: Yulia, why were you kicked out of Neposedi?
Yulia: (Giggles.) Because I always wanted to be like Madonna and sing in the nude.

BRAVO: Do you still undress on stage nowadays?
Yulia: Of course, when I feel like it. But mostly it's the fans who storm the stage and then drop their clothes.

BRAVO: Is it true that you want to move to California in the near future?
Lena: Never! We will stay in Moscow! It's the coollest city on the planet, even though she [Moscow] is always portrayed so negatively by you. There's the most intense life here, the most interesting people, the hottest clubs, and parties you wouldn't even dare to dream about!

BRAVO: Are you dissed or are people hostile because you are lesbians?
Lena: Indeed. Recently an orthodox priest threatened us with eternal damnation and hell-fire in a TV talk show. Politicians have seriously demanded to bring back punishment for same-sex love because of us, and some idiots threw stones and knives at us during a concert. But I'm telling you: they will all calm down again soon and finally realize that there can never be anything bad about two people loving each other, no matter what their sex is.

BRAVO: Have you graduated from school?
Lena: Of course. We were both educated at colleges of music for many years and now we are in university. Yulia studies music, mainly concentrating on piano. I can play the piano pretty good as well, by the way. But I decided in favour of psychology studies.

BRAVO: When will you finally come and tour in our country?
Yulia: This year. Up till now, it's been us on stage with just three dancers and a bodyguard. But now we want to develop a brandnew show and come to Germany with that--really big with a rock band and hard as nails sound!

Edited to add the following:

This is what it says on the pictures: [All recent pics from the Czech tour, some pics from a photo session, and there's also a picture of the reporter with the girls.]

"Although their job is very stressful, Yulia and Lena nevertheless have fun with each other."
"Love а la t.A.T.u.: 'From time to time we have really big fights,' Lena confesses. 'But sex is always best after a real quarrel,' she claims."
"Yulia and Lena are real masters of the piano. They both play Beethoven by heart."
"80 minutes of fun and sex: The hit song ATTSS is played three times. Additionally, the fans have to participate in a kissing contest."
"Deep glances... and intense kisses as... the highlight!" [3 pictures]
"Peep show: Yulia shows almost everything. Lena thaws only during the kissing scenes. At the finale, they both roll around on the floor."
"Yulia and Lena are the goddesses of a new lesbian movement."
