Eurovision Song Contest Wiki

  t.A.T.u. was a Russian female duo consisting of Lena Katina and Yulia Volkova formed in 1999. They are best known for their international hits "All The Things She Said" and "Not Gonna Get Us".

They represented Russia at the Eurovision Song Contest 2003 in Riga, Latvia with the song Ne Ver', Ne Boysia. In one of the closest finishes in recent years at that time, the duo finished in third place behind eventual winner Turkey and second-place Belgium, three points separating first from third. However, they ended up winning the Barbara Dex Award as the worst-dressed artists of the 2003 contest.

In 2009, the girls performed "Not Gonna Get Us" as part of the interval act during the first semi-final in Moscow. In addition, Yulia Volkova, in a duet with Dima Bilan, tried to represent Russia at the 2012 contest in Baku, though they ultimately lost to the Buranovskiye Babushki.

The duo has since separated, their last live performance together was at the opening ceremony pre-show before the start of the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi performing "Not Gonna Get Us", coincidentally presented by 2009 grand-final co-presenter Ivan Urgant. The song was later used in the Parade of Nations mix by DJ Leonid Rudenko to welcome the Russian team into the stadium.

Yulia was one of the five jurors for Russia in the 2021 contest in Rotterdam.
