A YOUNG woman who disappeared more than a week ago is now featured on a missing persons website as efforts to trace her continue.
Police searching for Yulia Solodyankina, a student in Edinburgh, asked the charity Missing People to publicise the case online.
The last sighting of her was at Wee Red Bar in Edinburgh's Lady Lawson Street on June 6.
The 22-year-old Russian, who was studying physics at Edinburgh University, was not reported missing until June 12.
Chief Inspector Mark Patterson, of Police Scotland's Edinburgh division, said: "The last confirmed sighting of Yulia was over two weeks ago, and we still have no information as to her current whereabouts.
"We have approached the charity Missing People to publicise her disappearance on their website, through which people can report information or sightings confidentially.
"We continue to be heartened by the level of interest in her disappearance, helped by her friends organising appeals through social media, and we remain hopeful of receiving information that can allow us to trace her whereabouts."
Ms Solodyankina speaks fluent English with a strong Russian accent and is about 5ft 6in, of medium build and has long, dark brown hair.
She has pierced ears and a small mole on her left cheek.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
