Katya Sambuca

Katya was born in St Petersburg. Her father was a construction worker, while her mother was a former gymnast.[http://uznayvse.ru/znamenitosti/катя-самбука.html "Biografiâ Kati Sambuki"] in Uznay Vse. She has Estonian heritage from her maternal grandmother. At age 15, Katya was used as the model for a girls' doll, "Bobby", manufactured in London. After leaving school she trained as a cook. While working in a St Petersburg restaurant she met Mick Jagger of the Rolling Stones, who told her to swap cooking for modelling and invited her to come to America with him.[http://sobaka.ru/oldmagazine/glavnoe/17527 "Nash 'Mishlen' 2013"] in Sobaku (July 17, 2013).[http://progorodnn.ru/news/view/74123 Pornozvezda Katya Sambuka obeshchala pogulyat' po nizhegorodskomu kremlyu i naberezhnoy"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150629105338/http://progorodnn.ru/news/view/74123 |date=June 29, 2015 }} by Sergei Afanasiev in ProGorodNN (July 17, 2013).

Katya was given the name "Sambuca" by Bob Jack (real name Sergei Mikhailov), whom she married at the age of 16.[http://rutube.ru/video/ff936ebbbce7639e9b021723739881f2 "Katâ Sambuka na telekanale PerecTV"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190407182858/https://rutube.ru/video/ff936ebbbce7639e9b021723739881f2/ |date=April 7, 2019 }} in Rutube (May 17, 2013). In 2015, Katya left Bob and she is raising their common daughter Zvana alone.

In 2011 Sambuca and her husband took her erotic show, which featured her house and trap music, on tour, and performed in more than 70 cities across Europe. She became one of the most searched entertainers on Russia's search engine Yandex,[http://spb.kp.ru/daily/25912/2866482/ "Vayenga i Shnurov stali samymi populyarnymi peterburzhtsami v Runete"] in Komsomolskaya Pravda (July 7, 2012).[http://24tv.ua/home/showSingleNews.do?lider_topzaprosov_v_poiskovike_yandeks__skandalnaya_televedushhaya_natalya_rozinskaya&objectId=220084 "Lider top-zaprosov v poiskovike Yandeks"] by Sergei Pashinsky in 24TV (May 21, 2012). and appeared on the covers of XXL (Ukraine)[http://xxl.ua/girls/xxl-cover-girls/15778.html "Sex Toy"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200112110942/http://xxl.ua/girls/xxl-cover-girls/15778.html |date=January 12, 2020 }} in XXL (January 30, 2012). and Qoqo (Estonia, the successor to the Estonian edition of Playboy).[https://web.archive.org/web/20150402101201/http://www.qoqo.ee/modellid/modellid/katya-sambuca "Üks kuum tüdruk, kes armastab Tallinna"] in Qoqo (March 3, 2013; archived from [http://www.qoqo.ee/modellid/modellid/katya-sambuca the original] April 2, 2015).

In 2013, she became a co-host on the technology show Trendy Device, broadcast on Russia's 2×2 channel.[http://2x2tv.ru/series/live-show/trendy_device/ "Modnyy Devays"] in 2x2.

In August 2014, Sambuca started a family counseling charity in the Estonian town of Haapsalu,[http://ohtuleht.ee/592721/vene-erootikataht-olen-kindel-et-suudaksin-presidendipaari-lepitada "Vene erootikatäht: olen kindel, et suudaksin presidendipaari lepitada!"] by Nataly Koppel in Õhtuleht (August 28, 2014). where she lives. She offered the President and his wife free marriage counseling after footage emerged of the First Lady in an intimate situation with another man.[http://ren.tv/novosti/2014-08-25/pornozvezda-vyzvalas-pomoch-zhene-prezidenta-estonii "Pornozvezda vyzvalas' pomoch' zhene prezidenta Estonii"] in Ren TV (August 25, 2014).

Sambuca is a flautist and has performed as part of a professional orchestra.[https://instagram.com/p/wCkhgonWMC Katya Sambuca's official Instagram] (November 30, 2014).[https://instagram.com/p/2y2hXsnWNA Katya Sambuca's official Instagram] (May 17, 2015).

In 2014, the German designer Philipp Plein used Sambuca's nude modelling shots, obtained without permission, in a line of t-shirts, which prompted her to threaten legal action.[http://metronews.ru/novosti/katja-sambuka-podast-v-sud-na-dizajnera/Tponjg---TlM7hxnQjZxQ "Katya Sambuka podast v sud na dizaynera"] by Igor Karasev in Metro News (October 7, 2014).

In December 2014, the Moscow sculptor Alexander Wroblewski created a bronze statue of the little mermaid using Sambuca as inspiration. 125 cm tall and weighing 175 kg, Sambuca donated it to the town of Haapsalu, suggesting that it could boost the tourism industry.[http://www.kp.ru/daily/26317/3196442 "V Estonii postavyat pamyatnik rusalochke s formami Kati Sambuki"] by Alex Mawla in Komsomolskaya Pravda (December 9, 2014).[http://postimees.ee/3017975/vene-erootikataht-tahab-haapsalu-promenaadile-oma-skulptuuri "Vene erootikatäht tahab Haapsalu promenaadile oma skulptuuri"] by Meribel Sinikalda in Postimees (December 8, 2014).[http://metronews.ru/novosti/katja-sambuka-stala-model-ju-dlja-pamjatnika-rusalochke-ego-ustanovjat-v-estonii/Tponle---UMUtjkNM2Zs/ "Katya Sambuka stala model'yu dlya pamyatnika Rusalochke, yego ustanovyat v Estonii"] by Igor Karasev in Metro News (December 5, 2014). The mayor ruled out the proposed location, on the promenade near to Tchaikovsky's memorial, as inappropriate, but added that another place could be found.[http://ohtuleht.ee/607331/vene-erootikataht-ihaleb-haapsalu-sumboliks "Vene erootikatäht ihaleb Haapsalu sümboliks"] by Nataly Koppel in Õhtuleht (December 10, 2014).
