Korolev was born in Zhytomyr, the capital of Volhynian Governorate of the Russian Empire, now located in Ukraine. His father, Pavel Yakovlevich Korolev, was born in Mogilev to a Russian soldier and a Belarusian mother. His mother, Maria Nikolaevna Koroleva (Moskalenko/Bulanina), was a daughter of a wealthy merchant from the Ukrainian city of Nizhyn (then part of the Russian Empire), with Zaporozhian Cossack heritage. His mother also had Greek and Polish ancestry. His father moved to Zhytomyr to be a teacher of the Russian language.
