Ev from the Tatu.ru forum was so kind as to make a translation of this interview, and posted it here.

The pair of triumph

Yulia Volkova and Elena Katina from the group t.A.T.u – the first Russian worldwide stars – spoke openly to Glamour about their boyfriends, outfits, cars and mutual feelings.

Text: Igor Kompanietz

Big golden couch in a central Moscow coffee-house, full with oligarchs, and decorated with exposition of Andrei Sharov, and presenting outstanding prices (a saucer of Argentinean meat can cost fifteen hundreds rubles) – good choice for a conversation with the group t.A.T.u. Volkova, wearing a baseball hat and a smock, wants medallions, but there’s none. So she takes a beef and carrot mincemeat. Katina, wearing a sweater and with carried to a pony-tail hair, wants a Californian rolls.

Fostered by pop-sage Ivan Shapovalov, the girl-duo didn’t lose its popularity after the braking up with their first producer: These girls now have an entrance to all the prestige houses of the city, they having fun and feeling well.

They are stars again- their new albums flying around the world in the most glorious way, they being tearing to pieces by musical agents, representatives of the Mass-Media, and simple admirers. “We’re very popular in South America” – Yulia announcing. “In Asia also, and in Russia. Everywhere”.

- Do you have huge rider [list of demands that stars give to the organizers of concerts]? What’s included?

Elena: We take this subject very evenly. We never demand things such as “We need 5 packages of hazelnuts in chocolate, but choose only the green ones, because we detest the others, and if we’ll find them, we won’t perform".

Yulia: Vegetables-fruits, sandwiches, tea and a shower. I don’t need rider at all. The fact, that our stars writing 3 pages of demands, it’s just a proof, that the artist isn’t cool. It’s Cool, when you have 2-3 demands. Why, there’s a suitcase with clothes, you can have a shower anywhere, you have where to sleep – that’s great.

Yulia, why did you call your daughter Vika?

Yulia: I made that’s decision right away, when I was still pregnant, I told everyone – only Victoria. I have an aunt or a sister, I didn’t defined yet who she is to me, she lives in the USA. She’s beautiful, smart, and talented. I called my daughter in her honor. Besides- Victoria, it’s a triumph. I even want a tattoo with her name.

Do you meet the father (the father – a boyfriend since long time ago, sportsman in the sphere of martial arts, Pavel Sidorov – note Glamour) often?

Yulia: We broke up relatively long time ago, but we’re friends. We meet literally a day before yesterday.

Do you having close contact with someone among the men?

Yulia: Yes, I do. It’s a singer. But, it’s really unnecessary for everyone to know.

Elena: Everything’s great. There’s a man, we live together. A lawyer.

Are you studying now? What sphere?

Yulia: Lenka studying, I’m not.

Elena: I graduating Moscow humanitarian institution. I’ll get the diploma at the fall, I’ll be psychologist. But the option to work by the profile is totally dropout. I don’t want to. I realized that I won’t be able to leave the work at work; I’ll be very worried at home. I have many different ideas, but right now I do what I do.

What will happen with t.A.T.u in the future? You’ll keep entertaining us for long time?

Yulia: Perhaps, we’ll be in t.A.T.u until our death. Why to guess? Maybe, an hour later I’ll go some place, got hit, and that’s it, the end of t.A.T.u.

And what about the family?

Yulia: I don’t have serious relationship, and I don’t want a husband. Maybe when I’ll be sixty, I’ll get married.

Elena: I’m more serious person in that area. Yes, I think about family, marriage.

Why do you need marriage anyway?

Elena: At least for the kids to be born.

Yulia: For the love! If there’s no love, then it’s doesn’t matter from who to have the kids. It can be anyone.

Elena: Naturally, I won’t date with someone I don’t love.

And do you love each other?

Elena: What we have it’s not even a friendship, it’s much more. When people actually live together for ten years, you can’t call it just friendship. I refer her more to relatives, than to friends.

But you’ve done with the lesbian line?

Together: We didn’t even start!

Yulia: We didn’t start anything, and we don’t end anything.

What an intrigue. What do you do in your spare time, what are you interested in?

Yulia: I like theater, much more than books. And cinema. I want to shoot a movie myself this year. It’ll be scandalous video; I think it’ll be forbidden. Girls, boys, violence. I’ll show it all. It’ll have very sad ending. But I just started to write the script.

Elena: Books. Fitzgerald, Moem [Maugham], Feitwanger [Feuchtwanger], Vonnegut.

Yulia, why did you become brunette again? Not blonde?

Yulia: Black is better. More close.

You changed you dressing style, before it was Scotland-skirts and white blouses, now what?

Yulia: Don’t worry, I’ll make up everything. We’ll have open attires that no one has!

You interested much with fashion?

Elena: I’m- not. And Yulia leaves for tour with one suitcase, and comes back with four.

Yulia: I can be in shops all around the clocks. It’s like a rest. Here’s a person (nodding towards Lena) who likes to read, and I hate this. It’s easier for me to watch a movie or a play. Also I like to repaint costumes. I like Gautier [Gaultier], the first and the second line of Dolce & Gabbana, Volga Volga, Russian designers in general. And the way our chicks dressed on the streets – I hate that!

Do you practice some sports?

Yulia: At home, lifting barbells. I don’t have special complex.
Lena: at this subject I’m pretty lazy. It’s easier for me to run around with the vacuum cleaner.

At what time you’re waking up?

Elena: Around 11-12. And I try not to go sleep too late. Around midnight. I love to sleep.

Yulia: I love also! I can wake up at 3 pm, easily. But I also go to bed not earlier than 3.

Are you provided girls?

Yulia: I don’t chase for money. But I think that for our age we’re quite rich. To own Mercedes CLS (The main price 72 thousands Euro – Note Glamour) – it’s not bad already.

Elena: (Laughs) And Toyota also…

Do you have a dream?

Yulia: No. I’m a realist.

Yulia makes me laugh. No wonder they are a bit grumpy when they have to get up at 5am for a photo-shoot.

That was a good interview, I believe it showed pretty well the differences as well as the things that are the same between Yulia and Lena.

I also wonder where Yuli will put her new Vika tattoo.

Thanks to xena for posting here, and thanks to Ev for translating! Thumb
