Singer, actress, former member of the Brilliant group. The Brilliant group was created in 1995 by Andrei Grozny, the producer of MF 3 and Andrei Shlykov. The Brilliant" is an all-female pop group. In 1999, in August, a new soloist appeared in the group - Ksenia Novikova.
The first composition of the group looked like this: Olga Orlova, Polina Iodis, Varvara Koroleva. Soon Polina left, and in 1999 Ksenia Novikova joined the group. In the same year, for family reasons, the soloist Olga Orlova (the author of many of the group's songs) left the band. In 2001, the long-awaited "The Best" of the Brilliant is released. Anna quickly entered the general rhythm of the group and calmly continued the work of her predecessor.
After the release of the eighth album “Orange Paradise” in 2003, the brightest and most graceful soloist of the group, Zhanna Friske, left the group. On April 1, 2004, Nadya Ruchka took her place. In this composition, "Brilliant" recorded a new album "Oriental Tales". In early 2007, Anna Semenovich left the group, Anastasia Osipova was taken in her place. At the MTV RMA Awards in October 2007, The Brilliant gave a real surprise to all their fans: former and current members of the group appeared on the stage.
In the summer of 2011, Ksenia Novikova decided to return to the group. Circle: the total time of work in the team of all soloists (in years). The numbers after the name are the number of years in the group. The group "Brilliant" will be discussed in our article. Later, the girl invited her old friend Polina Iodis to the team. The third member of the group was Varvara Koroleva, a dancer.

At first she was the artistic director of the group. Later, the producers decided to take the fourth soloist and offered this place to Zhanna. In May 1997, the girl starred with the rest of the group in the video "Flowers". The girls themselves jokingly called the changes in the group "brilliant".
However, the changes that the Brilliant group underwent did not end there. In 2000, Olga Orlova left the team due to pregnancy. In her absence, Zhanna Friske became the leader of the group. This ambitious girl soon (in 2001) launched a solo project, but continued to work in a group.
However, Irina Lukyanova soon left the group. She worked as a soloist for seven years. The girl was replaced by the former figure skater Anna Semenovich. The "Brilliant" group, whose composition was replenished with a new bright member, recorded the song "Orange Song" and shot a video for it. In the summer of 2003, Zhanna Friske left the team.
In 2007, in March, Anna Semenovich embarked on a solo voyage and left the group. In the summer of the same year, another member appeared in the group - Natalia Asmolova. She lasted only three months due to disagreements with the producers of The Brilliant. At the end of 2007, Yulia Kovalchuk's contract with the group ended. In early 2008, in place of the departing Yulia Kovalchuk and Natalya Friske, the producers chose new soloists - Anna Dubovitskaya (dancer) and Nadezhda Kondratiev (singer and model).
In 2010, in January, the "Brilliant" recorded the single "Ball", and later shot a video for it. In November of the same year, the group presented the song "Morning". At the beginning of the summer of 2011, the legendary member, Ksenia Novikova, returned to the team. On November 14, the group "Brilliant" made a presentation of this video in the Stakan restaurant.

As you can see, the members of the musical group often replaced each other. The soloists of the "Brilliant" group are always sweet and charming. November 13 marks her 36th birthday singer Olga Orlova, who became the first soloist of the female pop group "Brilliant". On this day, we remember the most famous members of this popular musical group.
The spectacular brunette became one of the most famous members of the group and gained great popularity both in Russia and abroad. Immediately after returning from the island where the filming took place, Friske announced her departure from the group and the beginning of a solo career. At this time, the singer began acting in films, and in 2005 she released her debut album. After that, the girl decided to try her hand at music again and even created her own group, Charlie's Angels.
Ksenia Novikova can be safely called a "long-liver" in the "Brilliant" group. At the age of five, Ksenia became a soloist of the famous Loktev Choir, and from the age of ten she sang in the youth group "Class". In June 2011, four years after leaving, Ksenia returned to the group. Group members: Nadya Ruchka, Nastya Osipova, Anna Dubovitskaya, Maria Berezhnaya.
About the group: In 1994, two Andreis - Grozny and Shlykov, brought together a trinity of beautiful girls Olga Orlova, Polina Iodis, Varvara Koroleva and called the new group "Brilliant". It is this composition of the group that is still considered “golden”, since it was during the two years of the existence of the quartet that the group “Brilliant” achieved the greatest popularity.
The composition of the group "Brilliant":
In 2000, the group released the album "About Love", as well as a collection of the best songs "White Snow". In the same period, the author of many compositions, Olga Orlova, left the group and was replaced in August 2001 by Yulia Kovalchuk. In 2002, the next creation was released - the album "Over the Four Seas". In 2003, Irina Lukyanova left the Brilliant group, who, like Olga Orlova at one time, was supposed to give birth to a child.
At the same time, Zhanna Friske leaves the group, who begins a solo career under the wing of the former producer. In April 2004, Nadya Ruchka joined the group and the trio again turned into the Brilliant quartet, which began work on a new album. In place of Semenovich, Anastasia Osipova is taken into the group. Anna's departure led to the departure of another girl - the "long-liver" of the group Ksenia Novikova.
In 2000, the album "About Love" was released, followed by "White Snow". In December of the same year, the Brilliant group starred for the FHM magazine. In the same year, the group released an album of remixes: “There, only there (remixes)”. Another pretty blonde has replenished the group "Brilliant". The group "Brilliant" re-recorded the single "Agent 007" with her.
In 1994, two Andreys - Grozny and Shlykov brought together a trinity of beautiful girls Olga Orlova, Polina Iodis, Varvara Koroleva and called the new group "Brilliant".
The group "Brilliant" released their debut album in 1997, naming it the most popular composition of the album with the same name: "There, only there." After the release of the record, Varvara Koroleva leaves the group, having decided to devote herself to creating a family. She is replaced by two girls Zhanna Friske and Irina Lukyanova at once. It is this composition of the group that is still considered “golden”, since it was during the two years of the existence of the quartet that the group “Brilliant” achieved the greatest popularity. Then comes the remix album: "There, only there (remixes)".
In 1998, the Brilliant released the next album, Just Dreams, then Polina left the group and for some time the Brilliant were again a trio. But in August 1999, the fourth member Novikova Ksenia appeared in the team.
In 2000, the group released the album "About Love", as well as a collection of the best songs "White Snow". In the same period, the author of many compositions, Olga Orlova, left the group and was replaced in August 2001 by Yulia Kovalchuk. In 2002, the next creation was released - the album Over the Four Seas.
In 2003, Irina Lukyanova left the Brilliant group, who, like Olga Orlova, had to give birth to a child. The former gymnast Irina Lukyanova was replaced by Anna Semenovich, the master of sports in figure skating, who very organically fit into the general rhythm of the group. Soon the new album "Orange Paradise" was released, and the composition of the same name is becoming very popular. At the same time, Zhanna Friske leaves the group, who begins a solo career under the wing of the former producer.
In April 2004, Nadya Ruchka joined the group and the trio again turned into the Brilliant quartet, which began work on a new album. The presentation of the new disc "Oriental Tales" took place in December 2005 in the entertainment center "Crystal". This line-up of the group becomes the most stable in the entire history of the group, but in 2007 Anna Semenovich decides to leave the team and start a solo career within the same production center "Brilliant-production".
In place of Semenovich, Anastasia Osipova is taken into the group. Anna's departure led to the departure of another girl - the "long-liver" of the group Ksenia Novikova. This is how Zhanna Friske's younger sister Natalya Friske appeared in the group, who was introduced to the world in October 2007 at the MTV RMA awards ceremony, where the Brilliant group performed with an expanded line-up, inviting almost all former participants of the Brilliant project to participate in the show.
Without renewing her contract, Yulia Kovalchuk in 2008 was no longer a member of the "Brilliant", then the charming Anna Dubovitskaya appeared in the team. In June 2008, Natasha Friske changes her desire to be a pop singer and goes to school. She is replaced by Yulianna Lukasheva, who also does not stay long in the team and soon leaves the group. She will be replaced by Marina Berezhnaya.
Thus, in 2009, the group included Nadezhda Ruchka, Anastasia Osipova, Anna Dubovitskaya and Marina Berezhnaya.
In 2011, the producers managed to lure Ksenia Novikova back into the group, creating the first quintet in the history of the Brilliant. The new line-up has already recorded the single "Love", the group's fans are waiting for a new video.
The group "Brilliant" is one of the first female musical groups in our country. The team has been awarded many awards: Golden Gramophone, Stopud Hit, Song of the Year, Sound Track, etc.
"Brilliant" is a Russian female pop group. Formed in 1995. Producers: Andrey Grozny, Andrey Shlykov.
The Brilliant group was created in 1994 by producers Andrey Grozny and Andrey Shlykov. The first composition of the group looked like this: Olga Orlova, Polina Iodis, Varvara Koroleva.
The debut album "Brilliant" was released in 1997. It was called the same as the first song with which they appeared before the audience - "There, only there." Immediately after the release of the first album, Varvara Koroleva leaves the group. She is replaced by two participants at once: Zhanna Friske and Irina Lukyanova.

In 2002, the album "Over the Four Seas" was released. In 2003, Irina Lukyanova leaves - for the same family reasons as Orlova at one time: the singer is expecting a baby. Instead of the former gymnast Irina, Anya Semenovich, a master of sports in figure skating, appears in the line-up. In the updated composition, the "Brilliant" group goes to Cyprus, to shoot the video "Orange Paradise".
After the release of the eighth album "Orange Paradise" in 2003, the brightest and most graceful soloist of the group, Zhanna Friske, left the group. Zhanna starts a solo career with the former producers. And on April 1, 2004, Nadya Ruchka takes her place.

In early 2007, Anna Semenovich begins a solo career, and the producers take Anastasia Osipova in her place. At the MTV RMA Awards in October 2007, The Brilliant gave a real surprise to all their fans: former and current members of the group appeared on the stage. It was then that Zhanna Friske introduced a new "brilliant" - her younger sister Natasha Friske.
In March 2008, the charming Anna Dubovitskaya joined the ranks of seductive beauties. Full of energy, charm and grace, Anna made herself known right away. In two weeks of hard work, the girl mastered all the dance and concert programs of the group, and she is not going to stop there. The next update of the composition took place in June 2008. And now Nadya Ruchka, Nastya Osipova, Anna Dubovitskaya and Yulianna Lukasheva have secured the right to be "Brilliant".

November 13 marks her 36th birthday singer Olga Orlova, who became the first soloist of the female pop group "Brilliant". On this day, we remember the most famous members of this popular musical group.
Olga Orlova
Singer Olga Orlova has been involved in music since childhood and dreamed of devoting her life to this cause. However, at the insistence of her parents, she graduated from the economics department of the Moscow Institute of Economics and Statistics, and in 1995, having got into the newly founded group "Brilliant", she was able to realize her dream. For five years, Olga was not only the soloist of the group, but also the author of many songs that brought the band immense popularity and fame. In 2000, the girl left the group due to her marriage and the birth of her son, and after a while she returned to show business and began a solo career. And although Olga managed to become a completely independent and successful singer, many remembered her as one of the main "brilliant" who stood at the origins of the group. Now Olga continues her ascent to the musical Olympus, brings up her son, and also acts in TV series, plays in the Millennium Theater and participates in popular shows. In 2002, the star showed her persistent character in the First Channel project “The Last Hero-3”, entering the top three, and in 2009, in a duet with Dmitry Kharatyan, she performed in the show “Two Stars” and also took an honorable third place.
Zhanna Friske
Unlike her bandmate, at a young age, Zhanna Friske preferred dancing, and after school she wanted to become a journalist, but fate decreed otherwise. In 1996, Zhanna Kopylova changed her last name to grandmother's and began working in the Brilliant group. The spectacular brunette became one of the most famous members of the group and gained great popularity both in Russia and abroad. In 2003, Zhanna, like Olga Orlova, participated in the reality show "The Last Hero-4" and reached the final. Immediately after returning from the island where the filming took place, Friske announced her departure from the group and the beginning of a solo career. At this time, the singer began acting in films, and in 2005 she released her debut album. In addition to her musical career, Jeanne took part in the projects "Heart of Africa", "Empire", "Circus with Stars", "Ice Age-2", and also acted as the host of the first two seasons of the reality show "Vacations in Mexico" on the channel MTV. Now Zhanna is the face of the brands Orient Watch and Rexona, starred in a commercial for Activia yogurt, and also enjoys dubbing and dubbing cartoons. In 2013, Zhanna became a happy mother for the first time: in one of the Miami clinics, she gave birth to a son, Plato, from TV presenter Dmitry Shepelev. Now the young mother devotes herself completely to motherhood.
Anna Semenovich
Like many children, little Anya was engaged in dancing and music as a child, but her main passion was figure skating. After school, she entered the Moscow State Academy of Physical Culture and achieved great success in the ice field, becoming an international master of sports in figure skating and ice dancing. Anna Semenovich took part in various sports competitions, among which were the championships of Russia, Europe and the world, but she had to give up her figure skater career due to a meniscus injury. After that, the girl decided to try her hand at music again and even created her own group, Charlie's Angels. Anna always had a bright appearance, so in the early 2000s she was noticed and invited to work on television: she was the host of sports programs on channel 3 and on channel 7TV, and also worked on the STS channel in the Morning and Night programs. But Anna got into the group "Brilliant" by accident: she interviewed the soloists of the group for one of her programs, after which the producers of the group offered her a job in the group. However, Anna could not take away her love for figure skating, so in 2006 she again began to skate as a participant in the Stars on Ice and Ice Age projects.
Since 2008, Anna Semenovich began a solo career, which she successfully combines with filming in films, TV shows, commercials and music shows. Now the girl not only sings, but demonstrates her culinary skills as the host of the Young Lady and the Culinary program on the TV Center channel together with Mikhail Plotnikov.
Julia Kovalchuk
Charming blonde Yulia Kovalchuk joined the Brilliant group in 2001. The girl, who from a young age is fond of dancing and gymnastics, successfully passed the casting for the dance group of the Brilliant group, but the producers of the group noticed musical talent in Yulia, so she joined the main team. After six years of her successful work in the "Brilliant", Yulia decided to build a solo career as a singer and TV presenter. Since 2010, together with Alexander Oleshko, she has been hosting the Minute of Glory show, and in 2013 the list of her projects was replenished with the program Who is on Top? on the Yu TV channel, where she works in a duet with her common-law husband, singer Alexei Chumakov. Like many ex-participants of the "Brilliant", Yulia took part in the reality show "The Last Hero" and took second place, and also won the "Ice Age" project.
Ksenia Novikova
Ksenia Novikova can be safely called a "long-liver" in the "Brilliant" group. She worked in it longer than all the soloists (no less than 8 years!) And became incredibly popular. However, her passion for music woke up from childhood. At the age of five, Ksenia became a soloist of the famous Loktev Choir, and from the age of ten she sang in the youth group "Class". In 1999, after graduating from the State Music College of Variety and Jazz Art, Novikova was invited to join the Brilliant group, with whom she recorded many wonderful songs. In mid-2007, Ksenia left the group and devoted herself to her family. During the three years of absence, the girl had two sons: Miron and Bogdan. In June 2011, four years after leaving, Ksenia returned to the group. Now she is engaged in music, takes part in television projects, brings up her sons and arranges her personal life.

Singer Olga Orlova was one of the first soloists of the group "Brilliant", which is already 22 years old. She worked there from the moment the team was founded in 1995 until 2000. After that, until 2007, she sang alone, then there was a period of calm, and the singer returned to the stage in 2015.

In addition, Olga actively acted in films (“Anna Karamazoff”, “Love-Carrot - 1, 2, 3” and in other films), played in private performances.
And in March 2017, she decided to try the role of co-host of the reality show "Dom-2". By the way, 16-year-old Artem, Olga's son from businessman Alexander Karmanov (the marriage broke up in 2004), supported this decision. Rumor has it that Olga recaptured her ex-husband Alexander from another singer Natalia Lagoda, but Orlova herself denies these rumors: they say that Alexander left Natalia before Olga began dating him.
One way or another, when Olga became pregnant with Artem, the group's producer Andrei Grozny asked her to leave the group.
Polina Iodis - singer and athlete - was the soloist of the group for only three years: from 1995 to 1998. After leaving the "Brilliant" Polina took up extreme sports, and in 2010 she left for Bali, where she lives to this day, surfing. There, in Bali, her children were born.

Varvara Koroleva is the third soloist from the very first composition of the group. But she was in this capacity for only a year: from 1995 to 1996. After that, she was replaced by Irina Lukyanova and Zhanna Friske. After leaving the group, Varvara completely switched to sports, namely rock climbing. And she never returned to show business.
Irina Lukyanova was a member of the group from 1996 to 2003.

Now in the family of Irina and her husband, businessman Mikhail Sinitsyn, there are four children: Misha and Denis, the sons of Mikhail, as well as common girls Anya and Sasha. Irina devoted herself to the family.

Zhanna Friske performed in "Brilliant" from 1997 to 2003. After leaving the composition, she continued to be friends with Olga Orlova. Therefore, it is not surprising that Zhanna and her husband Dmitry Shepelev chose Olga as godmothers for their son Plato. After leaving the "Brilliant" Jeanne began a solo career, but in 2013 the singer fell ill, and in June 2015 she passed away.

Ksenia Novikova joined the team in 1999 - she was replaced by Polina Iodis. And immediately after Zhanna Friske left, she became the leader of the group. In 2007, she left the "Brilliant" and gave birth to businessman Andrei Sereda two boys - Miron and Bogdan. But four years later she returned to the team, while simultaneously building her solo career. In 2015, she married businessman Alexei Sorokin.

And in January 2016, she finally said goodbye to the group, in which she worked for a total of about 12 years.
Yulia Kovalchuk joined the group instead of Olga Orlova. She worked as part of a team for about six years, and then she also took up a solo career and mastered the role of a TV presenter. Julia married singer Alexei Chumakov in 2013, and most recently, on October 13, 2017, this couple had a girl. So Julia is still enjoying motherhood and is in no hurry to go to work.

Anna Semenovich - a former figure skater, worked for several years on various TV channels. Once, when Semenovich was interviewing the girls from "Brilliant" on "Muz-TV", the producers of the group Andrei Grozny and Andrei Shlykov had the idea to invite her to the girls' team. As a result, Anna quit journalism and became a singer, having worked in this capacity from 2003 to 2007. Then Anna returned to TV: she was busy in the programs "Stars on Ice", "Ice Age", "The Young Lady and the Cook", "Rules of the Road".

Nadezhda Ruchka got into the "Brilliant" in 2004 and, perhaps, would have continued to sing in the group if she had not become pregnant and had not given birth to her son Leva in August 2017. And the chosen one of Nadia was an employee of the oil company Denis Boyarko. Before "Brilliant" Pen was in the group Party.

Anastasia Osipova was a member of the "Brilliant" from 2007 to 2015, and before that she was a soloist of the Strelka group. They took her instead of the departed Anna Semenovich. In parallel with her musical career, Anastasia graduated from the Faculty of Law of the Institute of Foreign Languages and even had an internship at the Basmanny Court. In 2016, she married lawyer Alexander Malakha, and in April 2017, a boy, Mark, was born in their family.

Anna Dubovitskaya joined the group after the departure of Yulia Kovalchuk in 2008 and stayed in the team until 2011. Anna has three educations: she is an economist, a fashion designer, and also a dancer. Dubovitskaya married businessman Sergei Anokhin. The couple is raising two girls: Dasha from Sergey's first marriage and their common daughter Lyuba.

Yulianna Lukasheva spent about a year in the team: from 2008 to 2009. And before that, she was engaged in ballroom dancing and was even the world vice-champion in them. After leaving the group, Lukasheva became a TV presenter on the RU.TV channel. Now he continues to perform solo. They say that the singer and TV presenter had an affair with Sergei Zverev. Rumors were confirmed by Sergey himself.
