In 2005 she turned down the lead role in a film called “Yulia†directed by Alexei Mitrofanov, a member of the Russian Duma. This movie parodied Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko and Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili. The Moscow Times said “The film, in which the two main characters join the mile-high club during a tryst on a helicopter… looks set for its theatrical release at underpasses and train stations across Moscow. “They’ll be called Yulia and Mikheil, but without surnames. Everyone, however, can see that they are VIPs,†said Mitrofanov, who is known for his sharp tongue and nationalist rhetoric.â€

Her photographs and personal information appear on several “black lists†on the internet. Prompted by complaints from American men, the St. Petersburg police dept. began an investigation into these alleged criminal activities.
