For June 23rd, we are continuing with Julia Volkova. They represented Russia, as part of t.A.T.u., with “Ne ver, ne boysya”, taking 3rd place with 164 points. Julia Volkova is Bisexual. You can watch their performance of “Ne ver, ne boysya” below:

Bisexual is an attraction towards more than one gender. Bi people may also describe themselves as bisexual, pansexual, bi-curious, queers and other non-monosexual identities.
