Former lead singer of the group Via Gra. "VIA Gra": all participants over ten years (14 photos)

The Via Gra group was created in the early 2000s. During this time, its composition changed numerously, but the criteria for choosing girls remained the same - they should not only sing well, but also look attractive and seductive. The composition of the Via Gra 2017 group meets all these criteria and is popular with its fans.

Currently the group includes:

1. Kozhevnikova Dmitrievna, 24 years old.
2. Herceg Erika Nikolaevna, 29 years old.
3. Misha Romanova (Natalia Mogilenets), 27 years old.

The first member of the legendary trio

So, we should start with Anastasia Kozhevnikova, who took pride of place as the “new little black one from Viagra.” Since childhood, the girl dreamed of performing on stage and acquiring a lot of fans. Therefore, at the age of six, her parents sent the girl to the choir, and a few years later to piano class.

Nastya was a sociable and versatile person, she was not afraid to try something new and communicate with different people– she was the life of the party, at the same time she studied well and was the favorite of the teachers.

In order to achieve her dream, Anastasia Kozhevnikova participated in all kinds of music competitions for children and teenagers, but none of them brought her the desired victory. But that didn't dampen the ardor young talent and, having gone through all the difficulties and trials of fate, Nastya gets to the casting of the reality show “I Want Viagra.”

This fateful event occurred in 2013. Coming onto the stage, the colorful brown-haired girl with green eyes won the hearts of not only picky judges, but also numerous spectators.

After the long-awaited victory and the signed contract with, the young girl had to sacrifice a lot and radically change her life. For example, she had to break up with her beloved boyfriend because their feelings could not stand the test of fame. Also, Anastasia did not have the opportunity to graduate from the university full-time, but she still received a bachelor’s degree through correspondence.

By the way, shortly before graduation she was recognized as the most beautiful student at her university, and in 2015 the singer took 95th place among the hundred sexiest girls in the world, according to the English men's magazine For Him Magazine.

Anastasia Kozhevnikova is a purposeful and talented young girl who has proven that through work, perseverance and unshakable faith you can achieve any goals. All that can be said is that this girl deservedly became a member of the Via Gra group, which is still relevant in 2017.

The story of a thin blonde who excited the public

The next participant in the updated Viagra is Erica Herceg. The girl spent the first years of her life in Hungary, where her father was from, but she already finished ninth grade at a church reform lyceum in the village of Velikaya Dobron in Ukraine. At the same time, the young girl began singing in the church choir and even winning local competitions.

But initially Erica did not see herself as an artist and entered a university with an economic focus. On last year learning has arrived of sorts turning point– Herceg decided to change her appearance once and for all and got rid of 30 extra pounds in a year.

She did not go on strict diets and did not stay late at night in the gym, although sports were undoubtedly present in her life. Erica emphasized proper diet, which I compiled daily for myself independently and on an active lifestyle. By the way, the two jobs she was forced to work on helped her stay in good shape and burn the necessary calories.

The girl also does not hide the fact that after a sharp weight loss she decided to make another change - she enlarged her breasts, which in 2012 helped her get a job in the modeling business in Kyiv.

Her charming pictures drive all the men in the country crazy, and a light accent adds charm to the whole image.

Erica Herceg became the first girl to perform on the stage of the reality show “I Want Viagra” and all the judges greeted her with smiles. Despite the excitement and lack of experience in performing at big stage, the beauty did an excellent job and advanced to the next round.

Everything was going just fine, but one day the girl almost left the project because before the battle for the mentors she risked shortening the skirt of her suit. The other girls from her “troika” did the same, which infuriated Konstantin Meladze.

They could have left the show the moment they entered the stage if Nadezhda Granovskaya had not stood up for them. By the way, she soon became a mentor to three unlucky designers and led them to a well-deserved victory.

After the announcement of the results, the fans of the young girl were happy with this turn of events, because even the judges said that Erica Herceg is the brightest participant in the project and deserves a place in the Viagra group, and she continues to prove her right in 2017.

Misha Romanova: a difficult path to an impossible dream

The last member of the most charming trio in Ukraine is Natalya Mogilenets, who performs under a creative pseudonym. It is known that the name Misha belongs to her first love, and the surname Romanov was borne by the man with whom the girl dreamed of being together, but fate took them in different directions.

Natasha was born into a small family in the city of Kherson. Due to psychological trauma, the girl began to stutter severely from a very early age, which interfered with communication with other children and normal development. On the advice of the doctor, without particularly hoping for success, the parents enrolled the baby in a vocal studio. Singing lessons really helped to cope with stuttering and gave the girl a dream - to become a famous singer.

But when the time came to enter the university, Natalya’s father insisted that she apply to the Academy of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It was not possible to get on the budget, so the girl took a completely different path - she decided to try her hand at the Kiev Variety and Circus School and after 5 years she successfully graduated.

Before getting into Viagra, the young girl managed to meet Alan Badoev, who immediately appreciated her talent and took her under his patronage. By that time, the aspiring singer decided to use a pseudonym and became known to the public as Misha Romanova.

This unusual name, a strong voice and emotional performance helped Misha go through all the difficulties and find himself among the top three winners of the show “I Want Viagra.” From that day on, Misha's life changed completely and she learned what it meant to become everyone's favorite.

Despite the fact that several years have already passed since the end of the project, the created trio is indestructible. The Viagra group, created in 2013, is still touring, recording new songs, performing old hits and has no intention of leaving in 2017 - the girls are full of energy and an unshakable desire to stay together as long as possible (photo).

In the past, the Via Gra group constantly changed its members and so quickly that some of them simply did not have time to remember. But this does not mean that the girls from today’s trio will suffer the same fate. After all, they have all the data to give their talent to people for many decades to come and get real pleasure from it.
They know for sure that for this they will have to work hard and sacrifice a lot, since the path to success is never easy. But they have already been through a lot and know that they will never give up on the path to their dream.

“VIA GRA” – VARIABLE LIKE THE HEART OF A BEAUTIFUL WOMEN

Over more than a decade of existence, the group changed its composition, but did not change its idea. And it was to create something fundamentally new.

One can of course argue whether there was such a thing new idea assemble a female group of girls with a fantastically sexy appearance. Anyway, first appearance "VIA Gra" did not go unnoticed, popularity grew every day, and now no one doubts the success of the idea. A group with such a plan was simply doomed to success: the male half of the audience cannot help but admire the plasticity of perfect female bodies, but the female half has someone to look up to.

Attempt number two or number five?

Dmitry Kostyuk, the producer of the group, wanted to put together a female group, the participants of which should have a stunning sexy appearance to demonstrate shocking performances and, as KVN members like to joke, if these conditions are met, no one will pay attention to their vocal abilities. After the first casting, three girls were selected. We recorded the first song and even started filming a video. But the team did not work well and the team was disbanded. But the idea did not leave the producers.

After some time, “attempt number two” took place. This time the choice was made of two vocalists. They became and. Alena at that time worked at the television company Biz-TV, where Dmitry Kostyuk noticed her and invited her to participate in the team. When he and the second producer of the group, Konstantin Meladze, received a photo shoot of Nadezhda, they invited her to the casting, which confirmed that the girl met all the requirements. To "VIA Gra" By the way, Granovskaya had no vocal experience.

The group received the name, which, as it turned out, means not only an allusion to a well-known drug. Although many believe that this is not an allusion, but the meaning of the name, because the group’s performance has no less effect on the male half of humanity than a well-known medical drug.

In fact, there are several versions explaining the name of the group. One of them: VIA is an abbreviation for “vocal-instrumental ensemble”, and “gra” is translated from Ukrainian language like "game". According to another version, the name is the initial letters of the vocalists’ surnames: “VI” - from “Vinnitskaya”, and “Gra” - from “Granovskaya”. Another version: “Gra” is the first letters of the words “Voice, Joy, Artistry.” The latest version is most likely far-fetched. The external image of sexy vocalists is more likely associated with pills that improve sexual potency in men. Probably everyone can decipher the name as they like.

First steps and immediate success

Nadya and Alena (2000)

So, the group was formed, the name was invented. The debut of the first video for the song “Attempt No. 5” took place on the Biz-TV channel in 2000. This date is considered the beginning creative activity team. The clip created a certain sensation, the group was not only noticed, they started talking about it as a new bright phenomenon on the domestic pop scene. A successful song with a corresponding video clip became an excellent application and even in some way “ business card» team. Thus, with the song “Attempt No. 5”, on the second attempt the group hit the top of various music charts. The song was liked not only by listeners, but was also noticed by music critics and producers. At the end of the year, the group received several music awards for this song alone: ​​“Stopudovy Hit”, “Golden Gramophone”, “Golden Firebird”, and the video was awarded the “Golden Weight” award.

The debut video became the starting point on the path to popularity. Moreover, this song is still popular; the group regularly performs it during concert performances, reminding the audience of how it all began. The successful debut was followed by months of hard work. Following “Attempt No. 5,” the composition “Meet My Mom” was released. The filming of the video, however, was not completed. The plot of the video for the song “Hug Me” is in many ways similar to the plot of the unfinished video; the directors even used some fragments of the video for the song “Meet My Mom.”

The path to the top

Tatyana, Alena, Anna (2002)

For a whole year the group worked hard on their repertoire, and by the end of 2000 seven songs had already been recorded. And in December the debut first concert took place. The band's fame grew every day. More and more often - welcome guests at various television shows, they are bombarded with offers to participate in national concerts. Two more videos delight fans - “I won’t come back” and “Bomb”. Every new song, album, video, appearance in a television program or on the pages of magazines (photographs of the group are carried out by “Playboy”, “Maxim”, “7 Days”) - contributes to the growing popularity of the group, which successfully tours throughout the country. The same time was marked by another event - the group was invited to take part in the filming of the musical.

The trio of Brezhnev, Granovskaya and Sedokova is often called the “golden line-up” by fans, because in this composition the group was more productive than ever. A video for the song “Don’t leave me, darling!” was released, followed by the second album, “Stop! Removed! In the summer, the video “Kill My Girlfriend” appears.

Having conquered the domestic stage, she is ready to show herself to the countries of Europe and Asia. The English-language video “Stop! Stop! Stop!”, as well as the band’s English-language album of the same name. The first release took place in Japan, where she performed in the capital with great success. And already in the fall of the same year the album “Biology” was released. Valery Meladze recorded together with "VIA Groy" compositions “Ocean and Three Rivers” and “There is No More Attraction”.

Diamond composition "VIA Gra"

Svetlana, Nadezhda, Vera (2004)

Quite unexpectedly, in May 2004, Anna Sedokova shocked not only fans, but also producers - she left the group due to her pregnancy. Producers are urgently looking for a replacement for Sedokova, this time the choice fell on Svetlana Loboda. Svetlana is a sexy and attractive girl, the owner of an unusual jazz voice with a range of 2.5 octaves. But for some reason the fans “didn’t accept” the replacement.

2004 was awarded the Muz-TV 2004 award. In the same year, the pan-European release of the album “Stop! Stop! Stop! The vocalists took part in the filming of another musical “Sorochinskaya Fair”. It should be noted that this musical gave birth to one of the group’s hits, “Oh, the clear water spoke.”

Nadezhda, Albina, Vera

The group maintained its popularity and was active on stage and in the studio. But dissatisfaction with Svetlana grew, conflicts arose between the vocalists, and as a result, the decision was made to part with Loboda. Instead, they took Albina Dzhanabaeva, who had already worked for a long time with Valery Meladze as a backing vocalist. Fans nicknamed this lineup “diamond” after the release of the video for the song “Diamonds.” Everyone loved the composition due to its lightness and jazz motif. The Diamond lineup recorded a collaboration with the popular Ukrainian rap team “TNMK”, “There is nothing worse than being like everyone else.”

In 2006, two vocalists at once, Vera Brezhneva and Nadezhda Granovskaya, announced their desire to leave the group. Brezhneva wanted to start a solo career, and Granovskaya decided to try something new. This statement caused confusion among the group's fans and took producers Konstantin Meladze and Dmitry Kostyuk by surprise.

Creative crisis or another line-up change

The departure of two soloists at once did not bode well. The producers had two options: close the project or try to find a replacement. Moreover, both options had their weaknesses. What it means to close a well-promoted, extremely popular project is not worth explaining. But finding vocalists for the well-coordinated work of the team is also not an easy task. Fans have almost come to terms with the collapse of the team. Although rumors that the “farewell” to the group was only a successful PR move, they warmed the hope that the girls would still please with new songs and tours. But no one knew whether it would be a completely new line-up or whether some of the old ones would remain.

Christina Kots-Gottlieb joined the group instead of Granovskaya. With the new lineup, the group released a new lyrical song, “Deceive, but stay,” in which many listeners saw a parallel with the current events in the team. But new format did not last long, the relationship between the soloists did not work out right away, and instead of Christina, the producers invited Olga Koryagina.

It seemed that the appearance of a new soloist would allow us to continue to work calmly, and all the problems would be behind us. It looks as if the group had no plans to stop. continued to delight her fans with new releases and give concerts. In May 2006 there was a big solo concert in St. Petersburg, dedicated to the fifth anniversary of the team.

Meseda and Albina (2007)

Despite the confusion in the lineup, she recorded new songs: “L. M. L.”, which became a hit in the summer of 2006, “Bomb”, released in September, “Flower and Knife”, released in November. Moreover, the songs were recorded in two languages ​​- Russian and English, which predetermined the release of the second English-language album, the name of which coincided with the title of the song “L. M.L." This song by that time was already a real hit and sounded in all music programs, taking first places in music tops and chats. However, the second English-language album was not successful. According to already established tradition, the group starred in New Year's musical“Channel One”, with the Russian version of the song “It’s raining man”.

Duet, trio, duet again

Meseda, Tatyana, Albina (2008)

But here, for a reason already familiar to the group - pregnancy, Olga Koryagina leaves the team. The producers allow her to leave the team without fulfilling obligations, but also without the opportunity to return. And after Koryagina, Vera Brezhneva still leaves the group. The next casting brought Meseda Bagaudinova into the group. The duo recorded the songs “Kisses” and “I’m Not Afraid.” The video for the latter was filmed at a time when the producers decided to return the trio format to the team. In the new video for the song “I'm not afraid” fans "VIA Gra" we saw the new soloist of the project - Tatyana Kotova.

The next year for the group was more productive than 2007. New songs and new successes appeared. Already in the summer at the Muz-TV Awards they were named “Best Pop Group of the Year”, and their video for the song “Kisses” won in the category “ Best Video" In the fall, the team shot the video “American Wife” for the soundtrack to the film “Hipsters,” released a third collection of songs, “Emancipation,” and participated in creative evening Konstantin Meladze, and, of course, in New Year's concerts.

"Old love never rusts"

Tatyana, Nadezhda, Albina (2009)

Fans of the group are already accustomed to the fact that every year there are changes in the composition of the group. 2009 was no exception, but the change in composition surprised everyone - Nadezhda Granovskaya returned to the group. In this regard, Meseda Bagaudinova had to leave; there was no place for two brunettes on the same team. The girls immediately went on tour around Europe and North America with the program “My emancipation”, and Meseda Bagaudinova was still on many posters.

A presentation took place at Russian Radio new song called "Antigeisha". At the end of the video filmed for this composition, the group's lead singers played real anti-geishas: no chic outfits, no bouffant hairstyles– an unexpected image for the team. at the Russian Movie Awards 2009 they were presented with an award for best actor and received an award for best soundtrack - "American Wife", and 2009 - the group received a Golden Gramophone statuette for the song "Antigeisha".

In mid-March 2010, Tatyana Kotova left the group “for certain reasons.” Her place was taken by Eva Bushmina (Yana Shvets). The premiere of the new trio was the song “Get Out!” But already in 2011 it was announced that Nadezhda Meikher-Granovskaya was leaving the group, and Santa Dimopoulos would take her place.

The end of VIA Gra or the beginning of modern history?

Eva, Nadezhda, Albina (2010)

Since September 2012, the group again became a duet, consisting of Albina Dzhanabaeva and Eva Bushmina. And again rumors are swirling that the group is now really on the verge of collapse. Konstantin Meladze officially confirmed that Santa left the team due to “professional unsuitability.” He also stated that the group will soon record new song and remove new clip with a new soloist. Who it will be is not yet known.

Thus, over the eleven years of its existence, the composition of the group changed more than ten times. And everything looks like this is not the last, or even the penultimate composition "VIA Gra". But one thing can be said with confidence: the group is a phenomenon in many respects. They have achieved enormous popularity, won many awards, and are still ready to conquer new heights, able to amaze and amaze with their songs. There are still a lot of plans and ideas in our creative plans, but for now we can safely say that we continue to successfully win the hearts of viewers and even listeners.

Almost all ex-soloists "VIA Gra" After leaving the group, they continued their career in show business. Vera Brezhneva can rightfully be considered the most successful. The song “Love will save the world” brought the singer unprecedented fame, and at the moment its popularity is even higher than the popularity of the group itself. Following Vera is Svetlana Loboda, a participant. Svetlana is already mega-popular in Ukraine and is now trying to break through to the top of Olympus in Russia. Alena Vinnitskaya is not far behind Vera and Svetlana, followed by Ana Sedokova.

Updated: April 13, 2019 by: Elena

And again the old " VIA Gra”, more precisely, the ex-soloist of a high-profile group.

The girls joined the new group: Olga Romanovskaya, who sang with Konstantin Meladze from 2006 to 2007, our fellow countrywoman, “Miss Russia – 2006” Tatyana Kotova, who was part of the team from 2008 to 2010, and Santa Dimopoulos, who performed at VIA Gre from 2011 to 2012

A producer took the helm of the new team musical projects on TV. Sergey Kovalev. He hopes that the girls will blow up Russian show business and surpass them in popularity real composition"VIA Gra". The group is aimed at a mass female audience, whose niche, according to Kovalev, is not occupied, and has already recorded its first lyrical single.

“I have collected the sexiest “Viagras” together: Kotova, Dimopoulos and Romanovskaya are perhaps the most desirable famous women for our men. We have already recorded the first single, it is a lyrical composition aimed at the largest female audience. The whole team's eyes are burning, we work 18 hours a day, or even more. Now the Russian music market clearly lacks truly bright women's groups, so we decided to fill this gap. It will be a bomb, I promise you! – said Sergei, writes Life. – Emotional, sexy, melodic bomb. I wonder what the reaction of the latest cast of VIA Gra and their producer will be, we’ll see.”

The members of the sexy trio had to give up their personal careers. Olga Romanovskaya left the Revizorro project. Santa Dimopoulos, having left the team of Konstantin Meladze, was engaged in creativity on her own. Tatyana Kotova chose the same path for herself. Having gathered an army of thousands of fans during her solo career, the girl will appear before the audience in a new role.

“We decided to team up with Santa and Olya because we speak the same language, we have common goals, and our preferences in music overlap,” Tatyana shared. – We came up with a very interesting joint project. I am sure that we will have a harmonious trio, where there will be no main and minor roles. We are all equal participants. We are not going to compete with VIA Groi. If only because we have great respect for Konstantin Meladze and his work. Each project has its own audience, and if they overlap, that’s only a plus! We have far-reaching plans."

Woman’s Day found out the opinion of the singer’s mother about new career Tatiana.

“My husband, daughter Ekaterina, and I only learned this news yesterday - Tanya was in Rostov and came to visit us,” admitted Marina Kotova. – We are very glad to have the opportunity to meet. To be honest, we were shocked when our daughter announced her career change. I have not yet determined for myself how I feel about this event. I consider Tanya an accomplished singer who tours throughout Russia and abroad, her career is successful. I think that participation in the group will take up a lot of her personal time, and she will have to sacrifice a lot. Most likely, participation in the team will bring her more popularity. Although I highly appreciate Tanino’s creativity. I think whatever she chooses - vocals, dancing or becoming an actress - she will succeed!

In the meantime, Tatyana is enjoying the company of her family and friends at home. In addition, the weather on the Don is favorable - in the sun, thermometers show +24 degrees. The singer’s family decided to take advantage of the Indian summer and went outdoors to grill kebabs and pick mushrooms. Tatyana shared photos from her vacation on her blog.

For almost ten years now, their appearance on stage has been exciting the entire male population of the country. They increase potency, like the medicine of the same name, kindle passion in the hearts and delight fans with more and more new songs, videos, soloists...

Each member of VIA Gra went through a rigorous casting, demonstrating their talents and merits, so we can say with confidence: only the best bodies and faces made it into the team. Alena Vinnitskaya, Nadezhda Granovskaya, Anna Sedakova...Can't remember them all? We will help!

Before the anniversary concert of the VIA Gra group, which will take place on March 27, WomanJournal.ru decided to remember, watch and evaluate all the members of the sexiest group in the country.

VIA Gra soloist Alena Vinnitskaya

It was for her sake that the “VIA Gra” project was started: the talented, sexy and smart “girl with character” Alena Vinnitskaya is still associated with the group “VIA Gra” by most listeners.

But this Ukrainian pop diva was always not averse to classifying her work as rock music. In her youth she listened to “Kino”, and her first musical group founded at the age of 19. The rock band with a sexy lead singer was called “The Last Unicorn”, but this project, contrary to the name, was not the last for Alena Vinnitskaya.

After a short break and work on television, Alena became the first soloist of the VIA Gra group. Later, the producers found a couple for the girl - singer Nadezhda Granovskaya. With this composition, the duo hit the first wave of fame with the song “Attempt number five.”

Three years later, Alena Vinnitskaya left the team. She later released a solo album, “Dolls,” in which she ridicules the beautiful and brainless puppets of show business, placing herself in contrast to them. She does not like to focus her attention on the fact that she was a member of the VIA Gra group, but this project still remains the most successful in creative career artists.

Now the ex-soloist of “VIA Gra” has seven solo albums. She is loved in Ukraine and not forgotten in Russia. However, Alena Vinnitskaya’s work is mainly intended for a Ukrainian audience.

VIA Gra soloist Nadezhda Granovskaya

She managed to stay among the soloists of VIA Gra the longest: from the first lineup to the last. Nadezhda Granovskaya periodically left the group, either because of pregnancy or because of difficult relationships within the ensemble. Other members of the group often complained about her complex character and stubborn disposition, but this is what helps the singer still stay afloat.

Throughout her childhood, Nadezhda Granovskaya studied at a choreographic school and dreamed of conquering the stage, so immediately after graduation educational institution went from the outback to Kyiv. The girl was lucky because during her visit to the capital of Ukraine she accidentally met Valery Meladze, who invited her to participate in the casting.

Nadezhda Granovskaya immediately sent her photographs to Moscow and - to her joy - became the lead singer of the VIA Gra group.

Later, when the duo transformed into the Granovskaya-Sedokova-Brezhnev trio, which was called the “golden lineup” of the VIA Gra group, the girls traveled all over the world, recorded the most popular compositions in the history of the ensemble, sold an incredible number of albums and even became stars in Japan. However, after five years resounding success Nadezhda Granovskaya left the group, and was replaced first by Olga Koryagina, and then by Meseda Bagaudinova.

But in January 2009, Nadezhda Granovskaya returned to VIA Gro again, and has no plans to leave yet.

VIA Gra soloist Tatyana Naynik

A professional fashion model from St. Petersburg, Tatyana Naynik, stayed in the VIA Gra group for only a few months. Having taken the place of the pregnant Nadezhda Granovskaya, this busty beauty recorded several compositions together with Alena Vinnitskaya and Anna Sedakova. However, the artist’s talent, charisma and sex appeal were not enough to replace Granovskaya forever: as soon as Nadezhda gave birth to a baby and decided to return to the group, Tatyana Naynik was sent back to St. Petersburg.

After such a successful project as VIA Gra, it was not easy for Tatyana Naynik to continue her career in show business. The girl was helped by the fact that she worked as a professional model, traveled around the world and posed for magazines, but Tatyana could not forget about the unfulfilled dream of a pop star.

Now Naynik produces and is a member of the girl group Maybe. The little-known group sometimes performs at corporate events and even records their own songs, but Tatyana Naynik herself is content with the rare attention of the press, which is interested in the artist only as an ex-soloist of VIA Gra.

VIA Gra soloist Anna Sedakova

Singer Anna Sedakova has always been considered one of the most seductive members of the VIA Gra group. Her magnificent bust on posters lured fans to concerts. Together with Vera Brezhneva and Nadezhda Granovskaya, this Kiev beauty conquered not only Russia and Ukraine, but also became widely known abroad.

When Anna Sedakova married football player Valentin Belkevich in 2004 and immediately became pregnant with his child, the producers were horrified. The artist left the group, and VIA Gra's ratings immediately fell. Photos of Anna Sedakova continued to be placed on posters, despite the fact that the girl had been replaced by new member- Svetlana Loboda.

Now Sedakova has a successful solo career as a singer and TV presenter. She writes books about how to seduce men, records new hits and stars in TV series. She divorced her first husband, and since February 2011 her husband is businessman Maxim Shevchenko.

In November 2010, when Anna appeared on anniversary concert group "VIA Gra" in Kyiv, the audience greeted her with incredible applause. Journalists later wrote that all VIA Gra fans are actually fans of Anna Sedakova, who to this day remains one of the sexiest Russian pop stars.

VIA Gra soloist Vera Brezhneva

Charming, sexy and talented Vera Brezhneva has been recognized more than once as a sex symbol of the national stage. She joined the VIA Gra group in 2002 - then the producer of the group kindly invited the singer to take the place of the soloist of the first line-up - Alena Vinnitskaya.

As part of VIA Gra, Vera Brezhneva gained the love of the audience, fame and, undoubtedly, vast experience in show business. In 2008, she decided to leave the team and start a solo career.

Brezhnev became a presenter on TV, simultaneously recorded several videos for her own songs, and took part in the show “ Ice age"and won the title of "The Most sexy woman» Russia.

After such successes on stage and television, Vera Brezhneva was invited to star in the film “Love in the City,” where actor Alexei Chadov became her partner.

Busy life Vera Brezhneva would not be so happy without her beloved daughters, Sonya and Sarah. For girls different fathers– the singer had her second child quite recently, in marriage to Ukrainian businessman Mikhail Kiperman. They say that Vera Brezhneva has a very jealous husband, nevertheless, the girl continues to expose herself in front of cameras and still leads an active social life.

VIA Gra soloist Svetlana Loboda

A very brave and very enthusiastic person, Svetlana Loboda, took the place of Anna Sedakova in the VIA Gra group in 2004. The little-known singer immediately began to be compared with the previous participant - and this comparison was clearly not in favor of the new soloist.

Svetlana Loboda stayed in the group for only four months, but during this time she traveled all over Asia with VIA Groi, recorded new videos and established friendly relations with Valery Meladze. So, just a month after she left the group, the artist’s first solo song appeared on the radio. In 2009, she represented Ukraine at Eurovision, and now she has set about creating her own clothing brand.

In addition to the creative achievements of Svetlana Loboda, fans of the VIA Gra group love to discuss her appearance. They say that once a girl made an incredible amount plastic surgery to change her appearance and hide from the producers of a certain group “Cappuccino”, with whom she had a two-year contract. The consequences of these “adventures” are clearly visible on Svetlana’s face: enlarged lips, rhinoplasty – braces in such early age turned her into a victim of plastic surgery.

VIA Gra soloist Albina Dzhanabaeva

The soloist of the next lineup of the group is known not so much for her creative achievements as part of the ensemble, as well as due to the connection with the singer and producer Valery Meladze. They are united by their common son Kostya and a romantic relationship, which in the past became a “pass ticket” to the group.

Albina worked for a long time as backing vocals for Valery Meladze, after which she was invited to the VIA Gra group in place of Svetlana Loboda. Dzhanabaeva’s debut in the group was the video for the song “The World I Didn’t Know About Before You.”

Albina Dzhanabaeva is still the soloist of the country’s “hottest” band. In 2009, the girl decided to study as a psychologist, so in addition to concerts, tours and celebrity parties, the artist attends lectures at the institute. And in 2010, Albina Dzhanabaeva also became interested in the fashion business, becoming the face of one of the clothing brands.

VIA Gra soloist Christina Kots-Gottlieb

The winner of numerous beauty contests, holder of the title “Miss Ukraine 2009” and professional fashion model Christina Kots-Gottlieb was in the VIA Gra group for only three months. The girl justified her record-breaking short tenure in the ensemble too “ complex character", which did not allow her to bend to the demands of the producers.

Christina has a very bright appearance and beautiful, long hair. But the girl never studied vocals and was unable to bring anything to VIA Gro except her beautiful face. Christina Kots-Gottlieb appeared in the “Lie, but Stay” video, took part in several photo shoots as part of the group, and then disappeared from show business without a trace.

Christina Kots-Gottlieb managed to make a career in the modeling business much easier than to conquer the fans of the VIA Gra group.
