ELENA BERKOVA

'Elena Sergeyevna Berkova' (Russian: 'Елена Сергеевна Беркова') (born on April 1 1985, in Nikolayev, Ukraine) is a Russian model and porn star. She started modelling in her teen years and in 2002 she worked with the Norwegian erotic photographer Petter Hegre. After she moved to St. Petersburg, in 2003, she made her hardcore debut for a Russian "defloration" website. Then she performed in an anal U.S. production. All this time, she also continued to work for Russian and Ukrainian international marriage agencies.
In 2004, she joined the popular (Big Brother type) show ''Dom-2'' (House 2) on TV channel TNT and her porn career was soon made public. Berkova became a celebrity and she benefited with a Russian porn film, which had a title that reflected the curiosity and ambitions of male viewers: ''Dom-2 or How to make love with Elena Berkova''. This film immediately became the best-selling hardcore video in Russia. She gained so much popularity that her later porn films (all of them US productions) were released in Russia bearing titles named after her.
Berkova has been accused of scamming foreign men by listing her photographs and profile on various marriage agencies in Ukraine and Russia. 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.
In August 2005 Berkova was cast in a controversial Russian porn movie ''Yulia'' directed by Alexei Mitrofanov, member of Duma (Russian parliament). The film is a parody the relationship between Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko and Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili. However she refused the lead role.
