Yulia Nachalova

[4] At the age of 14, Nachalova flew to New York to participate in the music competition Big Apple-1995,[5] where she won the Grand Prix.From April 2005 until December 2007, she presented the musical show Saturday Evening on RTR alongside Nikolay Baskov.[11] Nachalova flew to United States in 2010 to record her final and only English-language album Wild Butterfly,[6] which did not manage to secure her a breakthrough outside of Russia.[16][17] Her doctor cited her death as an accident, stating that she died from an infection following the operation and claiming that rumours saying that Nachalova suffered from lupus and diabetes were untrue.[13][18] Her doctor claimed that Nachalova's death was a result of a "list of unfortunate events", which included her earlier problems with anorexia nervosa in the early 2000s.[20] Critics noted Nachalova for her strong voice, but pitied her for a weak and generally unknown repertoire.In 2021, Channel One Russia produced and aired a three-part documentary series about her life titled Prolonged History of Yulia Nachalova.
