The former lead singer for a notorious Russian ‘lesbian’ duet is punting pop for politics.
Yulia Volkova now wants to become a Russian MP and claims she’s ready to take on strongman Vladimir Putin’s rivals.
Volkova and Lena Katina rose to global fame as part of the lesbian singing duo Tatu, although their sexual claims were always somewhat dubious.
“I have taken the first step,” she told Russian media, adding that Putin’s political foes “will not catch up with us.”
Tatu set the world ablaze with their sapphic on-stage antics.

However, the U.K. Sun reported that so far her political manifesto is thin.
As Tatu, Volkova and Lena Katina rocketed to global infamy when they appeared on stage donning skimpy schoolgirl outfits,
They kissed and cuddled, created a sensation and triggered the ire of moral matrons.
In the U.K., activists tried to ban their 2002 hit All The Things She Said.
The duo went their separate ways in 2011 and Volkova, 36, went on to have a solo career. In 2019, she was blasted by fans for having plastic surgery that “made her look scary.”

Apparently the political apparatchiks are delighted for the added sex appeal.
“Volkova is participating,” United Russia’s Sergei Perminov said. “We are an open party — we invite everyone to participate in our selection procedure, bold candidates, interesting, bright, honest, professional.
“People will decide who is worthy to represent them in the State Duma.”
Years after Tatu split, Volkova said she was bisexual.
“I still like boys and girls,” she said. “Even my current husband, Volodya, sitting in front of me, would confirm that he knows about my stories with the girls.”
