“It seems that the magnificent and unrivaled Alison Tabbita has found her equal on the Internet and at cosplay festivals!” – English-language journalists wrote back in 2017. “The mistress of freckles and pigment”, “the queen of transformation”, “an expert in getting into literally any image” - these are the enthusiastic epithets that Ilona Bugaeva, a cosplayer from Russia, constantly receives. The girl not only turns into heroes of famous online games, movie series, cartoons, anime and manga - she can create completely diverse images from the same work. The young resident of the Russian northern capital achieves not only absolute resemblance to the characters: her characters seem to have stepped off the screens into real life, each showing the character inherent in the original.

Cosplayer Ilona Bugaeva almost never gives interviews, although she is a very famous person in the gaming world. There is practically no information in the public domain about her childhood: where was the future star of costume shows born, who were her parents, how was her childhood? The girl is still very young: is she going to devote herself entirely to a specialty called “cosplayer”, or is she getting some other profession? What does she herself think about this wonderful world, where elves easily stand next to evil orcs, and “dark” and “light” Star Wars characters peacefully communicate during festival breaks and drink coffee at the same table? The universe called “cosplay” is no longer called geek culture in Russia, but is a serious business. It's time for cosplay heroes to shed their masks and show themselves as they really are.

What is known about her life before popularity

This amazing personality was born, as the official biography of Ilona Bugaeva shows, in St. Petersburg in the last year of the 20th century. The parents of the cosplayer girl, apparently, are not celebrities: it is impossible to find any information about them on the Internet, except that on her social network VKontakte it is indicated that her mother is Irena Shilova.

The school she attended was secondary educational institution No. 262, as indicated in her VK. You can also find information there that the famous Sladkoslava (she later took such a creative pseudonym for herself) until 2013 went to Bath Academy for swimming.

Beautiful dresses, bows, bright socks, fashionable shoes - these were the dreams of the little girl’s peers with whom she went to kindergarten. While girls her age were looking at Barbie, or asking their mothers to buy them a fashionable dress, Ilona, without looking up from the TV screen, watched... “Xena, Warrior Princess”! Yes, it was the image of the beautiful warrior from the then famous series that first captivated her heart and gave impetus to future cosplay activities. The four-year-old little girl looked at Xena’s magnificent armor, her toned shoulders and brutal hairstyle, and thought: “How I wish I could be like her!”

“Cosplayer” – there was no such profession in Russia at that time. On special websites one could find photographs of people dressing up as heroes of famous games: orcs and elves, representatives of extraterrestrial civilizations, characters from popular anime - Ilona Bugaeva admired them with envy. Her attention was also attracted by such films as “Harry Potter”, “The Addams Family”, and the Disney animation masterpiece “Beauty and the Beast” - she wanted to turn them into reality, her eyes ran wild from the rich choice!

“Daughter, let’s go shopping, let’s pick out a coat for you, you’ve already outgrown the old one,” her mother told her, and the future cosplayer answered indignantly: “What coat? I need to make a costume for Belle!”
Savor
In glossy publications, Stolya is often written about as a socialite who wears outfits from famous designers and surrounds herself with antiques from auctions. A girl once admitted: “I earn less than I spend. My husband finances me, although I have been doing photography for 15 years.” In 2011–2013, Vitaly Yuzhilin was included in the list of “200 richest businessmen in Russia.”
A couple of years ago, in an interview with American Vogue, Stolier compared luxury shopping to investing. She said that in her wardrobe there are about 70 dresses made of lace, feathers and scales from a luxury brand, one outfit of which costs an average of $7 thousand. She also boasted of her acquisitions from furniture auctions, including a chair from the sunken Transatlantic liner.
In 2002, a couple with children lived in a house on Rublevka with an area of 3 thousand m2, which was served by cooks, five maids per shift, three gardeners, two managers, as well as nannies and tutors. In addition, they owned an apartment in the center of Moscow.
In 2020, Tatler magazine interviewed Stolier in an apartment in Monaco on the seventeenth floor of the famous Le Formentor apartment building, where she lived at the time. According to Moskovsky Komsomolets, the luxurious living space with expensive furniture turned out to be removable. In an interview, the girl said that she had opened her own jewelry brand, “adult luxury without secondary signs of high cost.” According to Stolier, her jewelry is made in Japan, Thailand and Italy, and can be bought in Moscow and Monaco. The girl said that her new hobby prompted her to decide to go to London and take a short course at the College of Art and Design. St. Martin's.

First attempts at cosplay
Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sladkoslava
She had vivid images before her eyes - a carriage and a small cart, but the funds were very limited. Material for dresses or suits could be found in city stores; there was no particular problem with cosmetics either; the most acute shortage was in wigs. The girl later said in an interview: “From the very first attempt to transform into my favorite characters, my hair became a real headache for me.
Happy are the cosplayers who live in Japan! They don’t have a problem: I went out into the street, and in the nearest small store there were plenty of wigs for every taste. And they ordered these wigs from us, they took a long time to get to the customers, and they cost a lot of money, if they were really high quality.”
In adolescence, according to her own statement, another hobby appeared: she suddenly joined the Goth movement. Ominous dark eye makeup, dark lipstick on her lips, trimmed temples - she has photos in this form, the cosplayer later posted them on Instagram and other social networks. “Even before cosplay, I was used to looking informal on the street, when I became a goth: people looked at me, were surprised, I even suspected that some were tempted to twirl their finger at their temple,” from her memoirs.
Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sladkoslava
Suddenly, a teenage girl realized an amazing thing (the Gothic culture probably contributed to this): she was much more interested in doing makeup than a costume, her face was able to show the character’s character with greater expressiveness. At that time, a huge number of photographs appeared on her Instagram, Facebook and VK, where not specific characters were presented, but “tests of the pen” in terms of bright, unusual makeup.
Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sladkoslava
The cosplayer's finest hour was the moment when she transformed into Elizabeth from the online game Bioshok Infinite. “The main emotional face of the game” (that’s what Bioshock developer Ken Levine called Elizabeth) became her calling card as soon as photos in this image appeared on the Internet. The novice cosplayer so masterfully depicted “tearing apart reality” that those who saw the images all exclaimed: “There can’t be such a similarity! Yes, almost everything in these photographs is 100% photoshopped!” Bugaeva could not survive such an insult: she filmed a video where, in makeup and costume, Elizabeth not only demonstrates herself, but makes the same movements, smiles the same way as the mysterious prisoner of Siphon.
Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sladkoslava
Ilya Prusikin, when he was told that a very young costume player from St. Petersburg had made a masterful teaser for him, at first did not believe it: well, a girl cannot transform into a man, especially not into him, an artist with such a non-standard appearance. The leader of the group “Little Big” went to YouTube and was stunned: his characteristic hairstyle with cropped temples, mustache, facial features, even grimaces - well, everything is exactly like his! The amazed blogger could not contain his admiration and posted this video on his Twitter, and images of Mr. Prusikin were already circulating on the Internet, fueling interest in the aspiring cosplay star. “I suddenly thought when I watched his video: why not?” – Ilona Bugaeva later said when she was asked about the idea of reincarnation as Ilya.
Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sladkoslava
“A mustache, panties and funny bangs – this cost you as little as possible?” – Yulia Morozova, the host of the show of the same name, later asked the girl. “I guess so! Compared to those who followed Ilya, it really cost mere pennies,” was the answer. Continuing the topic, it is said: “The remaining costs were huge for me, and, by the way, a non-cosplay specialist may think that this heroine required a lot of investment, while the other one required nothing at all, and would be mistaken.” As an example, cosplayer Bugaeva cites the white-haired Khaleesi from “Games of Thrones,” aka Daenerys Targaryen: it would seem a very simple dress without any special quirks, a minimum of jewelry, except that the wig is expensive.
Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sladkoslava
“Yeah, but this dress took about ten meters of material at six thousand per meter,” Ilona sighed during the interview.
Anatoly Danilitsky and Slava
This was one of the most recognizable Russian star couples. It is known that the romance between the famous singer and the oligarch flared up when Anatoly was still a married man. However, he soon divorced and the lovers tied the knot.

Yes, this is exactly what numerous fans of Ilona Bugaeva began to write on the Internet when photographs of cosplay works poured into her social networks like from a cornucopia. Sweet Belle from “Beauty and the Beast”, gloomy youngster Wednesday from “The Addams Family”, shy Hermione from “Harry Potter” - the girl’s fans did not believe that all these images were made by the same person. Until Ilona Bugaeva began working seriously in cosplay, only one master of absolute transformation was recognized in the gaming world - the American Alison Tabbita.
Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sladkoslava
Alas, nothing lasts forever in this world, including in the cosplay community: Alison herself moved a little on her firmly standing pedestal and condescendingly admitted that her rival is indeed incredibly talented.
The young cosplayer later said that the greatest help in her development as a professional in this area of culture came, paradoxically as it sounds, from Russian critics. “Our critics are the most impartial, the most picky, and specialists of the highest class, when compared with colleagues from other countries,” Ilona Bugaeva said today. Continuation of that interview: “Take, for example, the Ava Expo 2014 exhibition, or the Miss IGM competition a year later (my first serious live appearances). Those who have gone through the selection process for these events are truly incredibly good. Any cosplay competition in Russia was and is held at such a high and at the same time merciless level that not everyone becomes a star. Many break down and despair, and only a few turn into real masters and continue to work.”
Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sladkoslava
An amazing fact: Ilona has practically no haters, neither on social networks nor at “live” events! A girl cosplayer explains it this way: “There are a lot of haters in our profession for those who do a bad job. If haters start writing nasty things, then these unpleasant remarks directly relate to the result: the costume is not similar enough to the original, or the makeup is not entirely accurate, or the character of the hero is different from the prototype.” By the way, her Instagram and other social networks. Networks were conducted from the very beginning in English. “Latin Americans, Spaniards, English-speaking visitors, fans from different European countries began to come to my pages, and it was easier for me from the very beginning to post everything in English - so that everyone could understand me,” this explanation was given by Ilona. She also said on this topic: “All my trips abroad were connected precisely with the fact that I wrote pages in English. They found me not by the number of subscribers, not by activity, but by my texts through a search engine.”

Her triumphant (there is no other way to say it) procession can hardly be called an ascent to the Olympus of the world of cosplayers. Rather, it was a sharp start and a rapid rise - so quickly the girl gained worldwide popularity. Fans of the beautiful Russian woman did not have time to like her new works, and foreign sites wrote non-stop: “This is not just a talented artist, but a many-faced goddess - she so skillfully works out every detail in her works.” "Chameleon cosplayer!" - that’s what they called her with surprise and delight on foreign resources, adding: “It’s hard to even imagine what kind of costume and makeup she can’t handle. As soon as her new photos are opened, your hand reaches out to like it.”
Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sladkoslava
Here is a list of the most successful images presented to fans by a talented girl from St. Petersburg, in addition to her works already mentioned:
- Joker from Suicide Squad;
- Yolandi Visser - singer and actress from South Africa;
- original American Billie Eilish;
- Harley Quinn, Joker's girlfriend;
- Princess Anna from Disney's Frozen;
- Vanessa, the heroine of the cartoon series “The Little Mermaid”;
- Tyrell Margaeri - red-haired beauty from "Games of Thrones";
- Ellie from The Last of Us.
Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sladkoslava
Regarding the latter, here is a fragment from Ilona’s story about how she worked on the image of Tyrell: “I made her so naturally, without any special difficulties, because I saw some of my own features in her. But Khaleesi Targaryen seemed to be preventing me from approaching her, or rather, I was afraid to take on the white-haired heroine of “Games of Thrones” for quite a long time, I was afraid of doing something wrong and ruining everything.”
Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sladkoslava
Another important fact should be noted in the work of a cosplay girl: she pays first of all attention to the face, working on every smallest detail of makeup. “That’s why most of my photographs are portraits, and not full-length. Face: tone, location of freckles, arch of the eyebrows, shape of the lips and color of lipstick - if all these little details are taken into account, the result will have the desired impression,” her words.
Oleg Burlakov and Sofia Shevtsova
Currently, the 69-year-old billionaire and the 20-year-old socialite enjoy each other's company and do not hide their relationship at all. By the way, Burlakov is married to another woman, but it is no secret that divorce proceedings will soon take place.

The man owns a huge fortune. His main pride is the largest yacht in the world, called the “Black Pearl” (Burlakov is obviously an ardent fan of “Pirates of the Caribbean”). It costs, by the way, 200 million dollars.
A divorce from a spouse can significantly worsen the financial situation of an oligarch. But there are rumors that Burlakov’s current passion, Sofia, is doing everything possible so that her lover gets off with “a little bloodshed.” In particular, she wants to preserve the luxurious 106-meter yacht.

Master of transformation, cosplayer Bugaeva continues to actively exhibit her new works on social networks, primarily on Instagram. By the way, she denies the fact that she earns large sums from competitions, festivals and photo sessions: “I often think about how not to go into the red, not how to make money! The main income comes from Instagram, when I place an advertisement and my fans view it,” she openly states this with a smile. It is impossible to blame the girl for selfishness, because the clickable advertising links in her posts are fellow designers, game equipment crafters, makeup artists, and photographers. The master cosplayer helps her like-minded people, and does not show off useless, insanely expensive handbags or cosmetics of unknown composition.

The girl happily told in her last interview on Radio Energy that on October 16, 2019, she returned from Vienna from the next gaming festival.
Before that, she visited Comic Con Russia 2019 at the beginning of the month, and at both events she appeared before the audience in the image of the sorceress Cirilla from The Witcher. But cosplayer Bugaeva showed not only this heroine to fans of game worlds: “On different days I demonstrated different characters, and it came to comical situations!

People came up to me the next day and wanted to get to know me again - they didn’t recognize me in the new image!” - from her story about these exhibitions. The girl now dreams of going to New Zealand, and hopes that she will definitely be invited to a specialized event in this country: “I’m just dying to go there! If they invite you (in which case they will pay for tickets and accommodation), I will definitely prepare Xena, Warrior Princess for the show.”

SHOP Metamorphoses
A strong girl who, at the age of 15, began earning her living by working as a waitress. At 19 she became an eyebrow artist, and at 21 she became a millionaire. How she managed to go against the system and earn millions from eyebrows, read in Ilona’s personal story.
School → Institute → Work → Death
I was born and lived in Surgut in an ordinary average family. Since childhood, I didn’t want to live according to the usual standards of school-institute-work-death. I was horrified by the thought of having to go to work at 9am 5 days a week and hate it. I couldn’t even imagine that I would go on vacation all my life only 2 times a year on cheap last-minute travel packages. I didn’t know what I would do, but I knew exactly what my life would not be like.
My mother raised me alone. I saw how hard it was for her, so at the age of 15 I went to work as a waitress in order to somehow support myself. It was a hell of a time. Work 15 hours a day, school and back again. At 18, I became an auditor-accountant, and a year later I realized that I didn’t want to work in my profession. She took her 100,000 rubles she had saved and rushed to Moscow to become a hair stylist.
Returning to a reality you want to escape from
After a month of training, I arrived in Surgut and realized what a tiny city it is. After training, I didn’t return to work in a restaurant, but started making money doing hairstyles. After 3 months I realized that this was a seasonal job and I couldn’t earn much from it. I accidentally came across an eyebrow training course and went to training almost without hesitation. I invested the first money I earned in materials and advanced training. I immediately started to succeed. But at that moment I didn’t even think that in 3 years I would earn a million on eyebrows, because then the average bill for my services was only 450 rubles.
I started from scratch 3 times
Within a year of living in Surgut, I went from earning 20,000 to 150,000. Then I went to live in St. Petersburg. There, in a year, from 60,000 I again reached 150,000. I returned to Surgut for the summer, in May I earned 90,000, in June 270,000, in July 420,000. Then I realized it was time to go to Moscow.
Moscow. Printers. Studio space rental
I was already ready to make money in Moscow. I actively developed Instagram and easily attracted clients. The check for work increased from 400 rubles to 2500. I sold materials to eyebrow artists and conducted live training for future masters. In the first month in Moscow, I immediately earned 300,000 rubles. But she lived as if she were 30 thousand. I rented an apartment in Pechatniki and rented a small place in the studio. Things for work were stored in boxes, and we had to eat in the hallway. In January I went to a two-day intensive. That's when everything changed.
Ilona's Instagram
Goal: earn 2,400,000 rubles in 2 months
Jokes with Pyotr Osipov are bad. I set a goal - to grow my monthly income to 400-500 thousand. But in the end, I challenged myself to earn 2,400,000 rubles in February and March. If I make money, I’ll open a studio and go on vacation with my manager. If not, then I won’t open the studio and will give the price of a word at 500,000. It was cruel, but it worked.
Ilona with her students
I immediately calculated the decomposition: per month I needed 2 groups of 16 people with an average bill of 25,000 to train Brow masters, sell materials worth 150,000 rubles during training and accept approximately 80 clients with an average bill of 2,500. Every month. Since before that I had already taught, I had clients, and I already knew how to earn money, I just started advertising myself more, recruiting large groups, and working more with clients. In February I earned 930,000 and was very scared. Because I didn't want to lose. But in March I earned 1,613,000 rubles. My world is no longer the same. I could. In 2 months I earned 2,513,000 rubles!
After the intensive I decided to go through all the BM programs
At the end of March - beginning of April, I immediately went to “Metamorphoses”. We gathered there in groups, and at first I really didn’t understand the people on my team. They seemed too businesslike to me. There was rejection and rejection inside. But on the 2nd day I understood why. We took feedback from our friends. I expected them to tell me that I was angry or touchy. But they told me something that I didn’t expect to hear at all. It turned out that I am a closed book to my friends. I don’t let them get close, they don’t know my sincere emotions and secrets. And in general, I don’t let anyone new into my world.
Team Metamorphoses
My environment really hasn’t changed for a long time. I could only invite 5-7 friends to my birthday. And even with the change in my standard of living, I didn’t let new people in.
You are the one who surrounds you
After the feedback I received, I realized that the people on my team are my reflection. Their thorns are my thorns. On days 3 and 4 they became like family to me. And on day 5 my main changes occurred. Petya talked about 4 levels of development.
- At first, we blame the world for what we can’t do.
- On the second, we blame ourselves.
- On the third we understand that no one is to blame. We just live, develop, achieve our goals. We see that the world is good and I am good.
- On the fourth, we interact with the world, accept help and no longer carry everything on ourselves.
The trap is that at the third level everyone gets stuck, and only a few get to the fourth. I realized that I was stuck on the third level. Now I really can do anything. I believe in myself, my capabilities and act. I just don’t trust the world and I don’t know how to ask for help.
All my life I have done everything myself and the point of growth for me is to accept help from the world.
I thought asking for help was weak. But it turns out that this is strength
It was very strange for me to realize that now I need to ask someone something, ask for help. And then don’t feel indebted or obligated for it. But thanks to the fact that I had a strong environment, I realized that in it I could easily ask for help. And I can just as easily help someone else. The guys helped me find a great PR company and financier. And also, as they say in BM, they didn’t let me merge.
Context decides
The team and I felt how we keep each other on our toes. Every month and every week we write down goals. Thanks to the fact that we write down goals, we always remember them and do something to achieve them. And reports at the end of the month help not to devalue the work done, adjust the plan and move on.
Photos from Ilona’s team meeting in Tallinn
You can play with life. Whatever we can imagine, we can realize
This may seem funny and banal to you, but at Metamorphoses I really realized that we can become anything. Think about who we want to be, write down an action plan and act. I don’t have to look at a beautiful life on Instagram, but live it. Move from Pechatniki to a cool apartment in the center, travel, open your own studio and stop living in a box.
Shortly after Metamorphoses, I decided to increase my normal level and moved to an apartment on Novokuznetskaya
Contract and payment for a new apartment
Now I live in the center, in an apartment with panoramic windows, in my yard there is a fountain. And every morning I wake up as if in an expensive hotel.

After I got into Business Youth, my environment changed dramatically. There are so many purposeful, cool people around me who take responsibility for their lives and break stereotypes. I was happy to celebrate my birthday in the company of such wonderful people!

Opened her own studio and went into the cash gap
During the intensive course, I set myself the goal of earning 2,400,000 rubles and opening my own studio. I closed both goals, only I fell into a cash gap. No one helped me in the discovery, I took everything into my own hands. The studio on Novokuznetskaya cost me 3.5 million.
TSEKH-30: opened its own online school and came out of the cash gap
I went to TSEKH with a specific goal - to go online and get out of the cash gap. During the WORKSHOP, I gradually moved away from working with clients and focused on teaching live and online. Every week I invested 30-35 thousand into targets on Instagram and received an insane amount of leads.
Screenshots of the advertising account
I created a VKontakte group and started launching advertising campaigns there too.
To launch an online course, I conducted live webinars, recorded auto-webinars, and the traffic was constantly flowing.

What is known about her life partner
Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sladkoslava
She categorically refuses to lift the veil of secrecy if questions are asked on the topic of “personal life”. Cosplayer Bugaeva is still very young: she turned twenty years old in the winter of 2019 - and there is no information that she has a husband, children, or even a permanent boyfriend. “True professionals in the field in which I work, and regular fans, are primarily interested in my new works. In our world, it is not customary to meddle in personal life; what is more important is success, fresh decisions in achieving goals,” she says. And then he adds: “If we talk about what kind of men I like, then my chosen one should not be at the same time a colleague. Kindness, responsibility, honesty - these are the qualities that are important to me, and if our hobbies suddenly coincide, this will be a pleasant bonus to mutual sympathy.”
Valentin Ivanov and Elizaveta Adamenko
There are rumors that the man has been courting a young girl for several years. As soon as Elizabeth turned 18, Valentin proposed marriage to her.
The wedding ceremony took place in one of the picturesque castles on the Cote d'Azur. Soon the couple moved to Singapore. The newlyweds' life was luxurious. However, despite this, Valentin and Elizabeth soon separated. At the time of the dissolution of their marriage, the oligarch was 55 years old. But the girl, who is 37 years younger than him, claims that the reason for the separation does not lie at all in the age of her ex-husband.
Interesting Facts
Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sladkoslava
- Her first serious professional look was an attempt to bring to life the style of makeup and ambience from “Steampunk”. “The make-up experience was based on a flight of fancy, it did not imply a specific image, it was simply planned to participate in a make-up festival,” - an excerpt from an interview with the Metronews website.
- She is seriously thinking about the future: entering the Faculty of Psychology at the State SPbU University was a thoughtful decision in order to acquire a serious profession. A diploma in psychology, according to the girl, will also help her in cosplay - it will be easier to bring complex character images to life.
- At first, fellow students were amazed at the girl’s appearance when she came to classes either as Belle or with makeup and in Ciri’s clothes. Now both students and university teachers are calm about this, and they know: she came running to the lecture after a photo session, or she will have to take pictures after the end of classes.
- She plans to take up the profession of makeup artist. In an interview on the YouTube channel “Morozova XZ Show” it was said quite seriously: “I need this for my line of work: I need practice, I need to study the structure of faces more seriously. It’s time to move from a hobby (everyone knows that I’m interested in this) to the next, professional level.”
- Ilona Bugaeva does not have a single tattoo. All that is in the photo where tattoos are needed is the applied makeup. “In fact, tattoos can be easily covered with cosmetics, but I myself don’t want to decorate my body with them, that’s why I don’t have them, and not at all because they will interfere with cosplay,” the girl says about this.
- She almost never dyed her hair: if she needed to change her hair color for a certain look, wigs were always used. The only time when the hair color had to be changed was during the transformation into Elizabeth from the computer game “Bioshok”: at that moment it was not possible to buy a jet black wig with the desired haircut.
- But cosplayer Bugaeva said in October 2019 on Radio Energy that she decided to take up Zena: “You just need to think about where to store the costume later (it’s very massive) and pump yourself up to be as similar to her as possible.” She included Xena, the warrior princess, in a long list of animated characters: a childhood dream realized.

Yulia Sarkisova was born on January 29, 1980 in Moscow.
Her maiden name is Lyubichanskaya. Very little is known about her life before her marriage to the billionaire. Julia grew up in a good family, received an education, and worked part-time as a model. Her bright appearance allowed her to build a career in the modeling business, and hanging out with influential people helped her make promising acquaintances. An affair with Nikolai Sarkisov, a top manager, turned her life upside down. Nikolai Sarkisov is an ambiguous personality. Before his marriage to Yulia, he was already married and the breakup of his previous relationship turned out to be very loud. Sarkisov already had two children. Julia gave birth to three children - Mark, Nikita and Sophia. To many, their union seemed fabulous. Luxurious villas, houses, expensive cars and jewelry have become the norm for them. Unlimited financial opportunities allowed Yulia to emphasize her beauty and become even more spectacular.
Subsequently, it turned out that the beauty’s life was not so rosy and happy. Quarrels constantly broke out in the family. She realized herself in her work. For some time, Sakisova held one of the leading positions in her husband’s company. In 2009, she founded her brand “JL SARK”. Her husband supported her desire to open her own business and helped her in the initial stages. The debut show of the clothing collection was held in the Moscow Art-Angara, and then in Courchevel. But Julia’s work did not impress everyone. Fashion connoisseurs criticized her dresses from the “Russian Beauty” collection. They felt that there was nothing Russian in the clothes. But this did not stop her from receiving the prestigious award. According to rumors, her influential husband had a hand in this.
Yulia Sarkisova is also known for taking part in the filming of a video for Dima Bilan’s song. The video turned out very beautiful and bright. Filming took place for several days in Kyiv. The millionaire's wife openly demonstrated how warm a relationship she had with the popular singer, and this became the reason for suspicion. Bilan's fans decided that he had a new hobby.
Unfortunately, Julia’s personal life did not work out. In 2013, she left Nikolai Sarkisov and made public very unpleasant details of their life. The millionaire husband suffered from alcoholism and on this basis more than once raised his hand against her. The children also suffered from their father’s drunken antics. This became the reason for the separation of the spouses.
