Which of the soloists of the popular group, besides Vera Brezhneva, pulled out a lucky ticket, and who was much less fortunate?

For more than 17 years of existence of the VIA Gra group, its composition has changed many times. The number of participants in the group was also variable: from a duet to a quartet. For many, VIA Gra turned out to be an excellent launching pad for a career in show business. One of the brightest stars of the group, Vera Brezhneva, February 3, 2018 marks 36 years. Today she is one of the most sought-after Russian pop singers. How was the fate of the other brightest members of the popular team - in the material site

Attention of VIA Gra producers Vera Galushka attracted me when at one of the concerts she volunteered from the audience to sing with the group. After this performance, she was invited to a casting. Vera took the pseudonym "Brezhnev" and sang in "VIA Gre" for four years, from 2003 to 2007.

In 2007, the singer leaves the group and begins work on a solo career. More Vera Brezhneva TV presenter and actress. The most famous films with her participation are the Love in the Big City trilogy and The Jungle, and in the New Year's movie Yolki, the singer plays herself.

Brezhnev is actively involved in charity work. Her Ray of Faith Foundation helps children with oncohematological diseases. Since 2014, Brezhnev has been the UN Ambassador for the rights and discrimination of HIV-infected women living in Central Asia and Eastern Europe (UNAIDS program). Vera has two daughters - Sonya And Sarah. Since 2015, the singer has been married to a producer Konstantin Meladze.

Alena Vinnitskaya

The soloist of the first composition of Via Gra left the group in 2003 and began her solo career in Ukraine. She has released eight albums, twenty-three music videos and soundtracks for three feature films. On the personal front, the singer is also doing well. Alena Vinnitskaya married to a producer Sergei Alekseev.

Anna Sedokova

In the first group Anna Sedokova missed due to age. The producer did not dare to take a 17-year-old girl into a team with a provocative name. But in 2002, Anna comes to the group and attracts all the attention to herself. It is believed that the composition of the group with Sedokova was the most successful and sexy in the history of the team.

After leaving Anna Sedkova begins a solo career. She also managed to work as a TV presenter on Russian and Ukrainian TV, and in 2008 she played a major role in the comedy Pregnant. In March 2010, Sedokova's book "The Art of Seduction" was published. Now Anna is not married. She has three children - daughters Alina And Monica and son Hector.

Svetlana Loboda

Soloist of "VIA Gra" Svetlana Loboda was in 2004 and only four months old, but during this time she managed to star in one of the group's most famous videos for the song "Biology" and the New Year's musical "Sorochinsky Fair". After leaving the group, Svetlana almost immediately released her first single and began to actively develop her solo career. The singer also managed to open her own travel agency and create a line of youth clothing "F*ck the macho".

In 2009, Loboda represented Ukraine at Eurovision. In 2010 the brand appears "LOBODA", now this is the name of her musical project. In 2012, Svetlana Loboda was awarded the title of Honored Artist of Ukraine. Now the singer is not married and has a daughter Evangeline.

Albina Dzhanabaeva

To "VIA Gra" Albina Dzhanabaeva worked as a backing vocalist Valeria Meladze. Immediately after Anna Sedokova left the group, Dzhanabaeva was invited to take her place, but she refused, because she had just given birth to a son Kostya. Later, the singer replaced Svetlana Loboda in the group.

Even before leaving the group in 2012, Albina Dzhanabaeva combined her solo career with work at VIA Gre. She later worked in television, starring in the film Kirill Serebrennikov"Treason" and became one of the six mentors of the show "I Want V VIA Gru".

All the time of participation in the group, Dzhanabaeva managed to hide the secret of who the father of her son was. In 2009, a scandal erupted in connection with the divorce of Valery Meladze from his wife. He then officially announced that Kostya was his son. Since 2014, Albina Dzhanabaeva has been married to Meladze. The couple has two sons - Konstantin and Luca.

Olga Romanovskaya

After leaving the group in 2007, Olga Romanovskaya (she was a member"VIA Gra" for about a year) also decided to build a solo career, but it is difficult to call it successful. Later, Olga tried to realize herself in other areas. She launched the Romanovska clothing line. In 2016, the singer replaced Elena Flying and became the host of the Revizorro program, but soon left the project.
Olga is married to a Ukrainian businessman Andrey Romanovsky. The couple is raising a son maxima.

Meseda Bagaudinova

In 2009 Meseda, who came to VIA Gro in 2007, left the group in connection with the return of Nadezhda Granovskaya. Bagaudinova's solo career after leaving VIA Gra is also difficult to call successful, in eight years she released only seven songs. In 2013, she was a mentor in the show "I want V VIA Gru".

Now Meseda is not married. She has a son Aspar.

Tatyana Kotova

Miss Russia Tatyana Kotova for two years she was a soloist of VIA Gra, from 2008 to 2010. After leaving the group, she pursued an acting and vocal career. Twice she became the cover girl of the popular men's magazines MAXIM and XXL. Now Tatyana Kotova is working on a solo album.

Eva Bushmina

Yana Shvets took a pseudonym "Eva Bushmina" at the Ukrainian "Star Factory". In "VIA Gre" she performed from 2010 to 2012. After leaving, Eva actively began to pursue a solo career. During this time, she managed to release an album and shoot twelve videos. Eva Bushmina is married to the son of the ex-Minister of Economy of Ukraine Dmitry Lanov. The couple has a daughter Edita.

Nadezhda Granovskaya

Real surname hopes – meyher. The pseudonym was advised to take by the producer of VIA Gra, Konstantin Meladze. The singer left the group three times. Granovskaya left the very first composition of VIA Gra in 2002, when she was pregnant with her son Igor. A month after giving birth, she returns to the team and sings in VIA Gre until 2006. In 2009, Granovskaya again became the soloist of the group. In 2011, Nadezhda was pregnant again, this time she finally left the team.

In between participation in the group, Granovskaya built a career as a presenter on Ukrainian TV. After the birth of a daughter Anna she returned to television, but already as a mentor in the show "I want V VIA Gru". The trio of her wards eventually won the show and are now the new line-up of the group.

Then, in 2014, Nadezhda took part in the One to One show, and in the same year she began her solo career. In 2016, in Kyiv, Nadezhda Granovskaya released her own performance "Historia de Un Amor"

Nadezhda Granovskaya is married to a Russian businessman Mikhail Urzhumtsev, the couple is raising their son Nadezhda Igor and two daughters Anna and Maria.

Six months ago, the show "I Want V VIA Gru" ended, the winners of which - Misha Romanova, Erika Herceg and Anastasia Kozhevnikova - became the new soloists of the popular group. HELLO! talked to the girls and found out how their lives have changed after the project and why they consider themselves modern Cinderellas.

The new composition of "VIA Gra"

Passion and sexuality - these words instantly come to mind when it comes to the group "VIA Gra". And not only because the name of the group is consonant with the name of the drug to increase male potency: all 13 soloists who have changed over the 13 years of the group's existence - as a selection, clever and beautiful - were called to become an object of not only male, but also universal adoration .

In the 2000s, the interest in the team of its music producer, composer Konstantin Meladze, was phenomenal, even despite the frequent change of participants. Having received the initial "capital" of fame in the group, the girls either went solo swimming, or got married and had children, sometimes combining both. Over time, VIA Gra turned into a kind of "star factory" for performers, through which Anna Sedokova, Vera Brezhneva, and Albina Dzhanabaeva once went through, and the status of the ex-soloist of VIA Gra became something like a quality mark .

And yet, at the end of 2012, after several years of leapfrog with soloists who could not repeat the success of the "golden" line-up of the group - Vera Brezhneva, Anna Sedokova and Nadezhda Granovskaya, Konstantin Meladze announced the dissolution of the group.

Konstantin Meladze announced the launch of the musical TV show "I Want V VIA Gra", the winners of which will become new members of the new "VIA Gra". Multi-stage telecasting ended in October last year, and three girls from Ukraine - Misha Romanova, Erika Herceg and Anastasia Kozhevnikova - received the right to perform in the group. In this composition, they have already managed to record the debut composition "Truce" and shoot a video for it, and now they are preparing another premiere. Speaking about their participation in the group, Misha, Erika and Nastya turn to enthusiastic exclamations. The girls, who became very close friends during the show, admit that they want to work for the benefit of the project for at least all five years of the contract. And all three are ambitious in a good way, so full of enthusiasm that they are ready to disappear for days at rehearsals and, it seems, have not yet fully believed what is happening to them.

Misha Romanova, 23 years old, Kherson city

Misha Romanova

Misha Romanova is sure: if you really want something, it will definitely come true. Since childhood, the girl, whose real name is Natalya Mogilevets, dreamed of becoming an artist. One serious flaw could prevent this - she stuttered badly. As a therapy, doctors advised her to take up singing, and at an audition at a local recreation center, Misha was surprised to find that she did not stutter when she sang. She began to study in a vocal studio, and soon music became her passion. True, it was not possible to completely get rid of problems with speech, but this does not bother Misha.

Surprisingly, I never stutter on stage.

Stubborn and purposeful, against the wishes of her parents, she decided to devote her life to music and after the ninth grade she went to conquer Kyiv. She entered the Academy of Variety and Circus Arts, took up a solo musical career, and when castings began in the show "I Want V VIA Gru", then on the advice of a friend, Ukrainian singer and composer Max Barsky, she joined the struggle for a place in the team. Today, Misha's life, like the other two participants, consists of rehearsals, concerts, filming, dancing and stage speech, but she is only happy with such changes - she does what she loves. The only thing Misha is afraid of is catching star disease.

I'm afraid of losing the sincerity that I have. I want to be human no matter what.

Erika Herceg, 25 years old, the village of Malaya Dobran

Erica Herceg

Unlike Misha, Erika did not seriously prepare for a career as an artist, and even more so, she did not count on the fact that she would have to conquer the Russian show business. A girl with Hungarian and Ukrainian roots, she grew up in a village almost on the very border of Ukraine and Hungary, did not speak Russian at all and weighed more than 80 kilograms in her youth! But if someone thinks that she was unlucky in some way, then not Erica.

I think everything was great. I just wanted more.

Six years ago, Erica said to herself: "Enough!" And she began to "sculpt" a new self. She went on a diet, thanks to which she lost more than 30 kilograms, and after graduating from the institute in Hungary, she moved to Kyiv and became a model. Three years ago, Erika began to learn Russian, which she now speaks almost fluently. And although he speaks it with a noticeable accent, he is in no hurry to get rid of it.

This is my personality. If I remove the accent, it won't be Erica Herceg anymore.

By the way, today Erica is the only soloist of the group whose heart is not free. For two years, she meets with a businessman whose name is kept secret. According to the girl, after winning the show "I Want V VIA Gru", she rarely sees her chosen one, but she hopes for understanding on his part. Be that as it may, despite her feelings for her beloved, Eric is not going to leave the team.

I believe that VIA Gra is my destiny.

Anastasia Kozhevnikova, 21 years old, Yuzhnoukrainsk

Anastasia Kozhevnikova

Anastasia's "romance" with music began in early childhood. She grew up in a musical family, there was a piano at home. From the age of six, Nastya began to sing in a children's choir, and at the age of eight she began to perform solo. Before getting into the project "I want V VIA Gro", Nastya managed to take part in a large number of competitions - both regional and national, but did not achieve great success. She has almost given up hope of becoming a singer and entered the university with a degree in management. But her mother, who always believed in her daughter's abilities and accompanied her to all competitions, convinced her to try her hand again. Nastya went to the show, not too expecting to win, according to her, she was ready to refuse, and the most important thing for her was to hear the opinion of the group's producer Konstantin Meladze. But it turned out that she was in the final three and became one of the winners. Now Nastya, who, by her own admission, was a kind of "kid" in her childhood and was always friends with boys, is getting used to her new status as a Russian-Ukrainian "sex symbol" and is enjoying a new stage in her life. Even the fact that she has almost no free time, Nastya considers it rather a plus and admits:

VIA Gra" is not a job, it's my life!

No one imagined what the new composition of VIAgra would be like when Konstantin Meladze's show began on the selection of new participants in the team. There were many worthy contestants, the Russian land is rich in beautiful and talented girls. And yet, three of them turned out to be the strongest - the amazing beauty of the voice, femininity and magnetic charm did their job. Recently, the new composition of VIAGRA was introduced to the people. It included three beautiful girls - Anastasia Kozhevnikova, Misha Romanova and Erica Herceg.

"VIA Gra": was, is and will be

The famous producer and composer Konstantin Meladze has been the mentor of the VIA Gra group throughout the entire period of its existence, more than 13 years. During this time, the team changed several times. The changes that took place in the group concerned not only the fate of its members, but also reflected the technological, stylistic and sociological trends in show business. After all, "VIA Gra" has always been on the stage women's group No. 1. And it has become a "school of life" for many popular stars of our time. The graduates of this school are Vera Brezhneva, Svetlana Loboda, Albina Dzhanabaeva, Nadezhda Meikher-Granovskaya, Anna Sedokova and other famous singers, TV presenters and actresses.

The history of the show "I want to "VIA Gru""

This time, producer Konstantin Meladze instructed the people to choose a new composition of VIAGRA. Millions of viewers decided the fate of the group, created its history.

Fifteen thousand participants from four CIS countries (Russia, Kazakhstan, Belarus and Ukraine) fought for the right to become one of the soloists of the popular band for several months. Two contrasting trios were selected for the final. The charming favorite of one of the jury members Igor Vernik - Maria Goncharuk, red-haired Julia Lauta and burning brunette Diana Ivanitskaya competed with amazing and extremely talented girls from Ukraine - Anastasia Kozhevnikova, Misha Romanova and Erica Herceg. Two completely different teams had only one step to take to win. But there was something that united them - this is the irrepressible energy of the participants, the undoubted talent of each of the girls, their amazing sexuality and femininity.

The winners have been determined!

Viewers through SMS voting decided the fate of the participants. It was hard to imagine who they would prefer. Upon completion of the voting and counting of votes, Igor Vernik opened the envelope with the names of the winners of the show. They were beautiful Ukrainians - Anastasia Kozhevnikova, Misha Romanova and Erika Herceg. According to the producer of the group Konstantin Meladze, the girls are very promising, creative, diversified, so they will surely be able to absorb the best traditions of VIA Gra and increase the success of the team with a thirteen-year history of existence. He also noted that the updated VIAgra group will not be exactly the same as the audience is used to. The new composition will bring its bright colors to it. In addition, it was decided to somewhat change the image of the team, taking into account the characteristics of its new members.

Life before and after

The composition of the new VIAGRA group has been determined, and now fans of the legendary musical group are increasingly interested in the biographies of its new members. Let's find out what the life of the girls was like before they came to the Konstantin Meladze show.

Brief biography of Kozhevnikova Anastasia

Nastya was born in the city of Yuzhnoukrainsk in Ukraine. Already at the age of six, she took up vocals and began to sing in the children's choir "Kapelki". At the age of eight, Nastya went to a music school to learn how to play the piano. In parallel with her studies in secondary and music schools, the girl managed to do choreography and study acting in a pop song theater called Galatea.

A childhood dream of becoming an artist on a big stage led Nastya through life. She did not miss a single opportunity and her talent. The girl took part in various music competitions, including "First Swallows", "Running on the Waves", "Young Galicia" and others. But she did not achieve much success at that time. The only thing the jury paid attention to was the irrepressible energy of the young girl.

When Anastasia turned sixteen, she took part in her first casting on the Superstar show. But, unfortunately, the girl was again deprived of attention. Nastya did not give up and went to the casting of the X-factor show, where she also did not go beyond the first round. Desperate and leaving her dream of a big stage, Anastasia became a student at the Kyiv National University of Technology and Design. When she found out about the start of the casting of the show “I Want to VIA Gru”, she decided to try her luck for the last time. And this time, luck smiled at her - she joined the new VIAGRA! The photos that you see in the article demonstrate the genuine joy of the girl! By the age of twenty, she managed to fulfill her first big dream, and this is a real victory!

Brief biography of Erica Herceg

Erika was born in a village called Malaya Dobran, which is located near the border of Ukraine with Hungary, near Uzhgorod.

Mixed blood flows in the girl: her father is a Hungarian, her mother is the daughter of a Ukrainian and a Hungarian. Erica's parents got married when they were very young - dad was 22, mom - 18. When the girl was five years old, the family decided to have a second child. The birth was very difficult, which adversely affected the health of Erica's mother. Concerns about the well-being of the family and the upbringing of young children completely fell on the shoulders of Nikolai, the father of the family. Erica went to a Hungarian school, where Ukrainian was studied for only two hours a week. Every day, for this, she went 12 kilometers from home and crossed the border. When the rules for crossing the borders of countries became tougher, the girl had to change schools.

In high school, Erica studied at the Lyceum at the local church, sang in the church choir.

After receiving a certificate of secondary education, the girl went to the city of Berehove in order to become a student at the Transcarpathian Hungarian Institute named after Ferenc Rakozzi II. During her studies, Erica worked as a waitress at a local cafe.

2008 was a year of change for the girl. She lost as much as 30 kilograms in order to try her hand at modeling. She starred in ads for jewelry and lingerie.

Work in a modeling agency in 2011 brought the girl to Kyiv. There, in 2012, she received her first major contract with a French lingerie company. In the same year, she was invited to appear in one of the autumn issues of Playboy magazine. And in 2013, she already gets into the new composition of VIAgra. At 25, Erica achieves real success.

Short biography of Misha Romanova

The third soloist of the renewed group was born in the Ukrainian city of Kherson. At birth, the parents gave their daughter the name Natalia. Her real name is Mogilenets. Misha Romanova is a stage name that the girl came up with in memory of the two men she once loved. The girl studied at a comprehensive school and often suffered from peer bullying. It's hard to imagine, but as a child she stuttered badly. This began after Misha became an unwitting witness to a quarrel between her parents when she was five years old. The girl recalls how hard it was for her, because she could not even buy chewing gum for herself in the store, as the sellers did not understand her.

On the advice of doctors, the parents gave the girl to vocal lessons. Misha's surprise and delight knew no bounds when she realized that she did not stutter when she sang. Since then, even in the classroom, when she was called to answer, she did not tell the learned material, but “sang”.

In 2001, the girl became a member of the vocal studio of the Neftyanik Palace of Culture, and soon took the place of a soloist, and later an assistant to the head of the studio.

The dream of becoming an artist gave her the strength to take part in all possible music competitions. She won prizes in "Little Stars", "Carousel of Melodies", "World of Talents". Misha Romanova was educated at the Kiev Variety and Circus School, where she entered in 2007. At the age of 23, her dream came true - she became a real artist, a soloist of the legendary group "Viagra".

New line-up - new song - new concert!

The group has already managed to record several new songs, shoot a video, and worked on tour. The first joint work of the girls is the composition “Truce”, for which a video work has already been filmed by a talented director. And on November 4, 2013, the updated VIAGRA gave its first concert at the State Theater in Moscow. The new line-up - Erika, Nastya and Misha - captivated the audience, the girls gained thousands of fans, showing their selfless work on stage. And it was only their first concert!

High hopes

Listeners are waiting for many more amazing works of the VIAGRA group. The new composition of the team, which was formed by the people themselves, will surely be able to justify even the wildest expectations!

Thu, 17/04/2014 - 14:21

On January 1, 2013, the hottest female team under the provocative name "VIA Gra" broke up. Over the years of its existence on the Russian pop scene, the hottest group has changed many lineups. Among the members of the team, only the attractiveness of the girls who came to it remained unchanged. Let's remember all the members of the team and rank their sexuality.

Alena Vinnitskaya

G odes in the group:

Who was:

She began to write poetry at the age of 5, and at the same age she took up a serious business - she made puppets with her own hands, and then sold tickets for puppet shows to her relatives. She began her musical career as a teenager - after listening to the Kino group, she learned to play the guitar, sing her own songs and make rock in the full sense. Immediately before joining VIA Gra, she sewed purses, worked as a secretary in an insurance company, was a VJ and a radio host. The first musical group created by Vinnitskaya was called equally tasty and romantic - "The Last Unicorn". (6 points)

Role in the team:

Vinnitskaya was the very first participant in VIA Gra, to which producer Dmitry Kostyuk chose two more girls at the casting - Yulia and Marina. However, in this composition, the project remained on paper, Yulia and Marina were overboard, and Nadezhda Granovskaya was paired with Alena. From this, in fact, the legend begins. Alena was responsible for the vocal parts, Nadezhda was a pleasure to watch - a classic division of labor in musical production. The first album "Attempt No. 5", which seems to be the purest classic from the standpoint of 2014, is entirely on the conscience of this duet. Although it is generally accepted to consider Brezhnev, Sedokov and Granovskaya as the golden composition of VIA Gra, we dare to argue: it was these women who first fought the pop rogue and it was on this album, there is not a single insignificant thing, all the songs, like pearls in Cleopatra's box, are on selection! (7 points)

Who is now:

Already 11 years have passed since Vinnitskaya, who calls herself the only performer of glam-pop-rock in Ukraine, has nothing to do with the sexy band that made her famous. And it’s worth saying that the artist’s solo career is developing very successfully: 8 albums, not bad (against the background of Anna Sedokova’s work, and completely chic) ​​singles, participation in the soundtrack for Piranha Hunt, not a single spot on reputation, nothing to be ashamed of. Recently, Vinnitskaya has expanded in breadth: she creates a capsule collection for the Gwen Stefani brand, calls on Ukrainians to unite (while quoting Akhmatova: “But we lie down in it and become it, that’s why we call this land ours”), cancels tours in Crimea and participates in various charitable programs. (6 points)

Sex factor:

It is extremely rare to expose yourself so that the average man has time to check out all the charms, but you can also draw certain conclusions from what you see. He knows how to present himself beautifully, but even if you crack, Granovskaya clearly has a better situation with the data. Advocates of bodily purity may be confused by the tattoo on Alena's shoulder, on the other hand, for some, this is an extra positive argument. (6 points)

Nadezhda Granovskaya

Years in the group:

2000-2002, 2002-2006, 2009-2011.

Who was:

Hot little thing from the Ukrainian village of Zbruchovka, who sent her nude photos to Konstantin Meladze in her youth and, of course, passed the casting. We are all people, and who would not take. Having moved to Kyiv, at first she communicated only with producers and Alena Vinnitskaya. Meladze Sr. would later call her Mowgli in a female form, since she could not speak fluently either in Russian or Ukrainian, she spoke Surzhik. (3 points)

Role in the team:

Producer Kostyuk called Nadezhda Meikher "the main Viagra", paying tribute to her seductive habitus, Konstantin Meladze gave a new surname Granovskaya for a successful combination with the name of the project - and it was she who was destined to eventually become the face of the group, its talisman and long-liver. She is the soloist of VIA Gra three times, even though after each departure she said that it was for good. In total, Granovskaya, who had worked for about eight years on the Kyiv pop plantation, eventually outlived Vinnitskaya, Sedokova and other girls up to Bushmina. The situation for such a cynical conveyor of girlish souls as VIA Gra is truly unique: as they say, from Ilyich to Ilyich without a heart attack and paralysis. (10 points)

Who is now

The author of the collection of intimate poems “Momentary Attraction” (“And in a pause over personal admiration, you will not notice my departure; I look in the mirror with contempt and think what a freak you are ...”) recently starred in a Ukrainian romantic comedy, continues to participate in the show of reincarnations "One to One", where he gets used to the images of Gurchenko, Leontiev and prepares for a solo career - this will be, according to the artist, something "with retro motives, in the spirit of the 60s and with elements of Italy." (3 points)

sex factor

One fact that immediately puts everything in its place: has been wearing a bra since the age of nine. (8 points)

Tatiana Nainik

Years in the group:

Who was:

A native Petersburger, a model and a graduate of the canine school, at one time she dreamed of becoming a veterinarian. As a child, she was engaged in rhythmic gymnastics and ballet, was thin and considered herself an ugly duckling. I got into the modeling business with the help of my grandmother, who noticed an announcement about a beauty contest and sent her granddaughter there, into show business - again thanks to photographs sent to Konstantin Meladze. Nainik claims that she was invited to the team twice: the first time she did not go, considering the name vulgar and the songs incomprehensible. (4 points)

Role in the team:

Against the general background, Nainik seems to be an artist of the second row - this is a figure completely lost among her companions. She happened to stay in the zone of special male attention for only six months: they took Tatiana to replace Granovskaya, who had gone on maternity leave, and when she wanted to return, the replacement was asked to reel in the fishing rods. As part of the group, busty Daphne appeared in the clips for “Stop! Stop! Stop!" and “Good Morning, Dad!”, and in addition, she participated in the deluxe edition of the album “Attempt No. 5”. There is not much to be done in half a year, of course, but in any case, this cannot be called a full-fledged contribution to the development of VIA Gra. (4 points)

Who is now:

Immediately after VIA Gra, for a long time she restored her nerves with a psychotherapist and still complains about the bloody regime of the Georgian tyrant Meladze. In moments of peace of mind, she managed to graduate from teaching in St. Petersburg, and now she is a producer and at the same time sings in the girl group Maybe. All the time, money and soul is invested in this project. (3 points)

Sex factor:

Passionate Tatyana does not hold, but for six months, Russian men hardly had time to taste and feel her forms by eye. The producers of the group probably liked the dark-haired dark-haired girl (otherwise, why the hell would they take her), but after filming for Maxim magazine, they claimed that she was the only one from the group that had to be photoshopped. (5 points)

Anna Sedokova

Years in the group:

Who was:

In the case of Sedokova, the life path before joining the group is practically no different from companions: she loves music since childhood, a diligent student at school, some fives, her mother is overjoyed. At a more mature age, working as a model, TV presenter and VJ - Anna seemed to have decided to try all kinds of vacancies from the "Arts and Entertainment" section of recruiting sites. Even as a child, she firmly knew that she would grow up and would certainly become an artist, and so it happened. (7 points)

Role in the team:

I got into the group only the second time, without first passing the selection for the youngster. It is difficult to imagine the history of the team without the red-haired Sedokova - this meeting seemed to have been organized in heaven, everything came together in the right way. Largely thanks to Sedokova, the same composition with Granovskaya and Brezhneva was recognized as the strongest, gold, diamond and the most sexy in the entire history of the project. To understand exactly what contribution Sedokova made, it is enough to listen to a couple of songs at random from the Stop! Removed”, which is celebrating its anniversary today, - talents will be revealed wide open, take away the ready ones. (9 points)

Who is now:

The author of The Art of Seduction maintains a charming Twitter and breathtaking Instagram, lives in Los Angeles, participates in Russian and Ukrainian TV shows, releases his own clothing line, records some songs and shoots some videos. She was married twice - to the football player Belkevich and the main character of the show "The Bachelor" Maxim Chernyavsky. In musical terms, alas, everything is extremely deplorable: the only more or less memorable composition can only be called a duet with Misha Krupin “Unsafe”, otherwise it is inferior to almost all of its groupmates who went into a solo binge. However, Anna herself is optimistic and incites her ill-wishers in the microblog: “I (as you think) are just a stupid girl with boobs, which is why I have a red medal at school and a red diploma in music, higher education, several business projects that bring pleasure and income, a team of 20 people who love me very much.” (5 points)

Sex factor:

Anna Vladimirovna is not just the most vigorous woman among those who have ever exposed body parts in public, she, as they said in the legendary film, is sex itself. Goddess virginal rounded features in all the grandeur of brilliant nudity. At the same time, the singer is proud that all her shootings took place in a bra and underwear - nowhere, nowhere will you see a completely naked Sedokova, byada-byada-chagrin. (9 points)

Vera Brezhneva

Years in the group:

Who was:

Another story from the category of "invested in children from childhood - got a star at the exit." Gymnastics, karate, handball, music school, participation in school competitions and performances - the development was comprehensive, Vera tried to succeed in everything. The Miss Dnepropetrovsk contest changed the layout of life - during the local selections, the producers of VIA Gra noticed the beauty, and as a result she took the place of Alena Vinnitskaya. (5 points)

Role in the team:

Along with Granovskaya and Sedokova, she was the main creator of the group's success and a member of its golden composition. It is she who is considered to be a typical “Viagra”, which turns men on half a turn with one wave of eyelashes: back then, in 2003, she gave a heart for a long memory, flew down like an autumn leaf. And there was no person who would tell her “Stop! Stop! Stop!". For 4 years of Vera's presence in the group, the entire classical repertoire was created: something that no normal corporate party or bachelorette party can do without. From Kill My Friend to Lie But Stay through Biology and Diamonds. (7 points)

Who is now:

Not a career, but a miracle wonderful for everyone to envy: a horse dose of hits is already in the debut album, one of the best songs of the new Russia "Love will save the world", a super-successful sentimental duet with Dan Balan, honor and respect from listeners and critics, advertising contracts, leadership in all sorts of tops and ratings. The bar was set very high after leaving the group, and it will be more and more difficult to meet it. The initial application was too strong, but the more interesting it is to jump over your own exploits. (9 points)

Sex factor:

Repeatedly recognized as the sexiest woman in Russia, the most stylish actress and beauty icon. Art is obliged to penetrate deeply into life, therefore it is not surprising that the “Sexy Bambina” sung by Vera for Russian-speaking citizens is she herself. Presumably, a very high percentage of sighted people officially tilybonite on Vera, while not being afraid of either the devil, or God, or Soviet power. (8 points)

Svetlana Loboda

Years in the group:

Who was:

A music school, a circus-variety academy, the first Ukrainian musical about Miklouho-Maclay "Ekvator" - by all indications, the traditional story of gradual entry into show business with an understanding of one's own prospects back in childhood is pecking out here. And Svetlana's family is simple: her father is at a factory, her mother is an energy supplier, her grandmother is an opera singer and her grandfather is a KGB officer who developed a plan to overthrow the dictator Batista in the Cuban jungle. "VIA Gra" was not the first serious experience in Loboda's career - before that she sang as part of the Cappuccino trio and the Ketch group, which she personally created. Loboda can be called the most prepared artist at the time of joining VIA Gra - take it and sculpt it at no extra cost. (7 points)

Role in the team:

Now Svetlana is rarely remembered in the context of the group - she did not last so long as VIA Gra, only 4 months. For such a period you will not turn around in breadth, you will not show the goods with your face, even make a loud scandal - and that will not work. So it turns out that in the face of eternity, you can only show the clip "Biology" and shooting in the musical "Sorochinsky Fair", where Valery Meladze was the devil, and the parodist Galtsev was the priest. (2 points)

Who is now:

How quickly she was ready to jump into the composition of VIA Gra without a run, just as quickly she freed herself from her former shackles and recorded her first solo single - less than a month had passed! To real success, for which Lady Gaga would not be ashamed, Svetlana went long and hard, while doing ordinary things at the same time: she participated in Eurovision 2009, organized social events and fought domestic violence, trained children on the Ukrainian show "Voice" released her own clothing line. There were many worthy songs, but one turned out to be truly stellar - “40 Degrees” released in 2012. Absolutely bomb level, jewelry precision and handmade stuff. Only Brezhneva can beat this, the rest have nothing to cover in their repertoire. (8 points)

Sex factor:

The habit is outstanding, embossed, grabbing hands will clearly appreciate the scale and volume. But somehow everything is too much in Svetlana - sometimes it's scary. It was as if the golem had been revived, using random lines from a women's glossy magazine instead of magic formulas. (4 points)

Albina Dzhanabaeva

Years in the group:

Who was:

As a child, she wanted to become a doctor and once dripped a couple of drops of cologne from a cold into the nose of one boy, her first love. It also could not do without a music school and a music school. Having moved to Moscow at the age of 17, she studied at Gnesinka, starred in commercials and films. Albina got into the famous team directly from Korea - she was pulled out of the musical about Snow White, in which she played the main role, and in Korean. (5 points)

Role in the team:

Tatyana Kotova, after leaving the group, stated that Albina was in a privileged position there because of her connection with Valery Meladze. As a matter of fact, all the activities of Dzhanabaeva as part of VIA Gra for millions of housewives passed precisely under this sign - they took it because of Valera, they say, otherwise they wouldn’t have made it into life. She started as a backing vocalist, then became a full-fledged replacement for Svetlana Loboda, and her debut in a new status took place in the video for "The World I Didn't Know About Before You." (6 points)

Who is now:

At the moment, this is an actress, a solo singer, TV presenter, an independent person with her own point of view on current events, who was filming with Kirill Serebrennikov. Dzhanabaeva worked in the group for about eight years until its official closure in January 2013 - only Nadezhda Granovskaya has comparable experience. (5 points)

Sex factor:

As the yellow headlines, which contain only the naked truth, say, before VIA Gra, Dzhanabaeva did not have a nose, chest and figure. In this form, even the status of the beloved woman of pop mechanic Meladze Jr. would not have helped to crawl into the group - such are the cruel laws of effective show business. In her current state, Albina Borisovna is quite hot, but her soul does not begin to sing at the sight of her. (6 points)

Christina Kotz-Gotlieb

Years in the group:

Who was:

Master of sports in rhythmic gymnastics, a model from a Volga German family, a regular participant in Ukrainian beauty contests, "Miss Donbass-2003", a man of flexible views and the same body. A short "viagration" experience for Christina was just a stunning flash on her life path, but by and large did not affect anything. (5 points)

Role in the team:

She stayed in the group for about 3 months - this is the shortest watch in the entire long history of the sexually exploitative band. Even Loboda, who was going to win a red convertible on a bet when she reached six months of experience, worked longer than Kotz-Gotlieb - 4 months! They took the German after Granovskaya left and the contract was signed for 5 years, but after the release of the video for the song “Deceive, but stay,” she was given a turn from the gate. As Christina herself says, the producers simply stopped answering her phone calls. Dmitry Kostyuk will later say that the singer was blown away after the first concert and she began to ask for five-figure sums: “I want to receive like Britney Spears.” (1 point)

Who is now:

After leaving the group, she rarely appeared in public, information about her future fate is extremely scarce. In 2009, she represented Ukraine in the Miss Universe 2009 final, at the beginning of this year the media blockade was interrupted by the release of the debut single "Trust Your Heart". (2 points)

Sex factor:

Hair below the priests, legs from the ears, a model background - I was torn out of life by the close inevitable beauty. Here the picture is clear, Odessa is red: magazines with Kristina on the cover should be sold in limited quantities from under the counter in the Soyuzpechat kiosks. (6 points)

Olga Koryagina

Years in the group:

Who was:

"Miss Black Sea Region-2001" before participating in "VIA Gra" never practiced singing. Born in the Ukrainian city of Nikolaev, she was as far from musical affairs as the Decembrists were from the people, she worked as a model at fashion shows and photo shoots. (3 points)

Role in the team:

She competed for the place of Nadezhda Granovskaya with the blonde Christina Kots-Gotlieb, after a long casting she lost to her and, upset, went home. But Christina was never able to fully enjoy the success: two months later, the producers drove the proud daughter of the coal magnate and accepted the brunette Koryagina into the team. Olga, by the way, also turned out to be a phenomenon too temporary: she managed to star in the clips of “L. M. L. and "Flower and Knife", and then left the group for the standard female reason - she became pregnant. It was then that she was paid the largest maternity leave in the history of VIA Gra - $ 10,000. (3 points)

Who is now:

Fashion designer, boutique owner and author of evening dresses for finalists of Ukrainian beauty contests. She now performs on stage under the name of Olga Romanovskaya, and she launched her solo career only last fall. Although Max Fadeev was going to take on her six years ago, give her songs authored by his brother's wife (singer Monokini) and thus blow up the music market. Did not take, did not blow up. And Olga herself did not succeed either. (4 points)

Sex factor:

Olga's size, of course, is all right - the man will gasp, the child will grunt. It looks like Parker Posey or the grown-up version of the singer Elvira Tee - this is a plus, albeit a small one; breath at the sight of Olga does not intercept - this is a minus. (5 points)

Meseda Bagaudinova

Years in the group:

Who was:

Born in Grozny, grew up in Kislovodsk, studied in Rostov-on-Don, performed at corporate parties in the Rostov police department as part of the local Dreams group. In short, Ms. Bagaudinova had serious musical experience even before joining VIA Gra. (5 points)

Role in the team:

The return of Granovskaya first knocked Tatyana Naynik out of the saddle, then Meseda Bagaudinova. However, the year and a half that Meseda spent in the status of Viagra is a very good time for the soloists of the second half of the 2000s. Meseda herself at one time took the place of Olga Koryagina, who had gone on maternity leave, and successfully closed the gap of the dark-haired participant in the team. In her presence, "VIA Gra" recorded the brilliant "Kisses", "Emancipation" and several songs of a less catchy nature. If in heaven Meseda was destined to sing “The higher the love, the lower the kisses” together with Dzhanabaeva and stain yourself with no reasonable activity, then it is worth recognizing that the mission has been completed. (5 points)

Who is now:

Working in a group became a stage in Meseda's life and allowed her to launch a solo project immediately after her dismissal. The new songs of the Avar Angelina Jolie did not bring any success, but she does not despair and believes that she has exactly the same chances to shoot as Brezhneva had at one time. Indeed, the matter remains small - to find an author who will write a bomb of the "Love will save the world" level as soon as possible. As Vadim Baikov sang in a similar situation: “I don’t have a hit, this place is vacant.” (3 points)

Sex factor:

Eastern rudeness, sweet curves - Meseda is able to bring anyone to the fall. Breathing heavily from passion, I undress, rustling. (6 points)

Tatyana Kotova

Years in the group:

Who was:

By diploma - an economist and anti-crisis manager, in fact - "Miss Russia-2006" from a mining family, who participated in beauty contests since childhood (the first title was "Miss Autumn-98" at the age of thirteen). Unlike her companions in the group, she never considered herself an ugly duckling and even in her school years she signed autographs for excited boys. (4 points)

Role in the team:

In March 2008, she replaced Vera Brezhneva and immediately landed on the shooting of the video "I'm not afraid." Then there were "Emancipation", "Antigeisha" and "Crazy" - far from the last things in the work of "VIA Gra". The passionate blonde Kotova looked next to the partners who got on her watch not like a lost sheep, but extremely dignified, which is why she trumpeted for two whole years. Even though it was impossible to see her singing at least the word “mu” on the screen, you also need to be able to perform decorative and applied functions well. She left the group because of the desire to realize her creative abilities to the end. (3 points)

Who is now:

Sits on a protein diet, starred in utilitarian Russian films with titles like "What Men Do", began her solo career with the song "He" written by Irina Dubtsova in 2010. Four years have passed, Tatyana did not stand still, other songs were also performed, but you know exactly as much about them as about the mentioned composition “He”. (3 points)

Sex factor:

Beautiful woman Tatyana, very beautiful. More beautiful than her, consider, in "VIA Gra" and there was no one. Your camp is built, like church candles, your gaze is a piercing gaze with swords. No, in general, claims, one admiration. (8 points)

Eva Bushmina

Years in the group:

Who was:

A shot sparrow is not a shy one, Yana Shvets decided to link her fate with music long before VIA Gra. A native of the Luhansk region had her own solo project Lucky, and participation in the Ukrainian Star Factory-3 under the supervision of Konstantin Meladze, and dancing in The Best ballet, and the work of a TV presenter. However, in order to declare itself on a large scale, it took a little change in the name and break into VIA Gra. Childhood friend Nastya Kamensky by this time had already managed to thunder through the entire Customs Union of the EurAsEC, along with Potap - Eve needed to urgently catch up to this level. (4 points)

Role in the team:

Right while participating in the TV show “Star Factory. Superfinal." announced an early exit from the project and moved to VIA Gra, replacing Tatyana Kotova there. Things were going towards the sunset of the once glorious girl team, and Bushmina managed to participate in only three releases: “Get out”, “A day without you” and “Hello, mom!”. I didn’t do the weather, but I didn’t spoil the common calico either - given that the group existed in the mode of a fading sinusoid, it would be blasphemy to demand more. (5 points)

Who is now:

Less than two months after leaving the group, Bushmina introduced a new song and herself as an independent pop unit. The most fashionable people of new Ukrainian music were connected to the debut: the singer Dmitry Monatik became the author of the song "Myself", and the soloist of The Maneken project Evgeny Filatov became the sound producer. In addition to promoting her own creativity, she participated in the show “Yak dvi krapli”, where she reincarnated as Rihanna and Christina Aguilera. (5 points)

Sex factor:

Something at the level of Kate Hudson or even higher, that is, for an amateur. However, headlines like “Eva Bushmina flashed something” appear on the Internet quite often, which means that such lovers definitely exist in nature, there is no doubt about it. (6 points)

Santa Dimopoulos

Years in the group:

Who was:

World fitness champion from a Greek-Assyrian-Ukrainian family, law school graduate, event manager, dance teacher, model and TV presenter. In a word, a versatile gifted person with an outstanding appearance. And without VIA Gra it would not have disappeared, the basic parameters are too good. (7 points)

Role in the team:

A graduate of the third season of the Ukrainian "Star Factory" came a year before the closing of the project, replaced Nadezhda Granovskaya and participated only in the song "Hello, Mom!". (1 point)

Who is now:

She didn’t want to be either “one of” or “black on the right” and left VIA Gra two months before the group officially closed. At the moment, only one single "When We Move" has been released, which has not gained much success (except for the status of "Ukrainian Nicole Scherzinger" in the comments to the video posted on the Internet). So you have to kiss dolphins, get married for the third time and post erotic photos on Instagram, while quarreling with Anna Sedokova and sharing men with her. (2 points)

Sex factor:

A swarthy and inflated athlete, a toned figure, elastic forms - Monsieur Meladze knew a lot about increments. Oriental flavor, as in the case of Meseda Bagaudinova, is what a charm is! (7 points)
