Natasha Korolyova (real name Natalia Poryvay) is a Russian pop singer and actress well known across Russia and other post-Soviet countries. Born in Kyiv, she spent her childhood in the capital's Borshchahivka neighborhood, but built her entire professional career in Russia. She holds Russian citizenship.
Listening to this artist's tracks on official streaming platforms, social media, and other services indirectly contributes to financing the war — through taxes paid to the budget of the Russian Federation.
Joined the "United Russia" party in 2003.
According to the singer herself, during Euromaidan she supported the revolution by delivering medicine and money. Two of her brothers participated in Euromaidan.
Entered into the "Myrotvorets" database for deliberate violation of the state border of Ukraine to access temporarily Russian-occupied Crimea and complicity in propaganda events.
Natasha Korolyova's stance on the war in Ukraine
Since the beginning of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Korolyova has remained silent about the war raging in her homeland, continuing to perform at Russian venues and attend events hosted by Putin loyalists.
She performed at a concert in the Kremlin accompanied by a show ballet dressed in the colors of the Russian tricolor flag. The dancers took the stage in white T-shirts, blue trousers, and red boots. Additionally, the backdrop featured a Soviet pioneer badge displaying Korolyova's face instead of Lenin's.

Her husband, Tarzan (Sergey Glushko), openly supports the genocide of the Ukrainian people, while her mother resides in Ukraine and vehemently rejects the stance taken by her daughter and son-in-law. While the singer buries her head in the sand, her mother, Lyudmila Poryvay, boldly chants "Slava Ukraini!" ("Glory to Ukraine!").
Z-Symbolism
In December 2025, a video surfaced online showing Natasha Korolyova visiting staunch Putin supporter Lera Kudryavtseva, bringing a gift of moonshine labeled "Za nashikh" ("For our guys"). Following this video, any remaining questions regarding Korolyova's official position on the war completely vanished.
What celebrities say about Natasha Korolyova's stance
There's an expression: «getting used to the smell.» When everything around you is excrement, but you get used to the smell—at a certain point you no longer notice it. She got used to the smell.
Fine, you stayed silent. But then you post an announcement on Instagram for your concert in some backwater town. By the way, the telling name of that town is Uryupinsk. It's an absolute sick joke! Over here children are being murdered, children are being raped, 10-year-old girls in Bucha left mutilated! And you, f***ing hell, post announcements that you have a gig in Uryupinsk! What a piece of scum! An absolute piece of scum! And there are many like her there. Mentally deranged people. You are from Kyiv, you are Ukrainian—how on earth could you?!
