For almost ten years now, their appearance on stage has been exciting the entire male population of the country. They increase potency, like a medicine of the same name, kindle passion in the hearts and delight fans with more and more new songs, videos, soloists ...
Each participant of VIA Gra went through a tough casting, demonstrating their talents and virtues, so we can say with confidence: only the best bodies and faces got 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 country's sexiest band.
Soloist of "VIA Gra" Alena Vinnitskaya
For her sake, the VIA Gra project was started: the talented, sexy and smart "girl with character" Alena Vinnitskaya is still associated with the VIA Gra group by most listeners.
But this Ukrainian pop diva has always been not averse to referring her work to the genre of rock music. In her youth, she listened to Kino, and founded her first musical group at the age of 19. A rock band with a sexy soloist 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 picked up a couple for the girl - the singer Nadezhda Granovskaya. In this composition, the duet got on the first wave of fame with the song "Attempt number five."
Three years later, Alena Vinnitskaya left the team. Later, she released a solo album "Dolls", in which she makes fun of the beautiful and brainless puppets of show business, putting herself in opposition 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 is still the most successful in the artist's creative career.
Now the ex-soloist of VIA Gra has seven solo albums. She is loved in Ukraine and not forgotten in Russia. However, in general, the work of Alena Vinnitskaya is still designed for the Ukrainian audience.
Soloist of "VIA Gra" Nadezhda Granovskaya
She managed to stay in the soloists of VIA Gra for the longest time: starting with the first composition and ending with the last. Nadezhda Granovskaya periodically left the group - either because of pregnancy, or because of difficult relationships within the ensemble. Other members of the team 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 graduating from the educational institution she 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 soloist of the VIA Gra group.
Later, when the duet was transformed into the Granovskaya-Sedokov-Brezhnev trio, which was called the "golden composition" 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. Nevertheless, after five years of resounding success, Nadezhda Granovskaya left the group, and Olga Koryagina came in her place, and then Meseda Bagaudinova.
But in January 2009, Nadezhda Granovskaya returned to VIA Gro again, and so far she is not going to leave her.
Soloist of "VIA Gra" Tatyana Naynik
A professional fashion model from St. Petersburg, Tatiana Nainik, stayed in the VIA Gra group for only a few months. Having come to the place of the pregnant Nadezhda Granovskaya, this buxom beauty recorded several compositions together with Alena Vinnitskaya and Anna Sedakova. However, the talent, charisma and sex appeal of the artist was 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 the world and posed for magazines, but Tatyana could not forget about the unfulfilled dream of a pop star.
Now Nainik is a producer and a member of the girl group Maybe. A little-known team sometimes performs at corporate parties and even records their own songs, but Tatyana Naynik herself is content with the rare attention of the press, which is only interested in the artist as an ex-soloist of VIA Gra.
Soloist of "VIA Gra" Anna Sedakova
One of the most seductive members of the VIA Gra group has always been considered the singer Anna Sedakova. 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 gained wide popularity abroad.
When in 2004 Anna Sedakova married football player Valentin Belkevich and immediately became pregnant from him, the producers were horrified. The artist left the group, and the ratings of VIA Gra immediately fell. The posters still posted photos of Anna Sedakova, despite the fact that a new participant, Svetlana Loboda, came to replace the girl.
Now Sedakova has a successful solo career as a singer and TV presenter. She writes books on how to seduce men, writes new hits and starred in TV shows. She divorced her first husband, and since February 2011, businessman Maxim Shevchenko has been her husband.
In November 2010, when Anna appeared at the anniversary concert of the VIA Gra group in Kyiv, the audience greeted her with an incredible standing ovation. 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.
Soloist of "VIA Gra" Vera Brezhneva
Charming, sexy and talented, Vera Brezhneva has been recognized more than once as a sex symbol of the national stage. She came to 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 composition - 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 band and start a solo career.
Brezhneva became a TV presenter, simultaneously recorded several videos for her own songs, took part in the Ice Age show and won the title of Russia's Sexiest Woman.
After such success on the stage and television, Vera Brezhneva was invited to star in the film Love in the Big City, where the actor Alexei Chadov became her partner.
The busy life of Vera Brezhneva would not have been so happy without her beloved daughters, Sonya and Sarah. The girls have different fathers - the singer had a second child quite recently, married to Ukrainian businessman Mikhail Kiperman. They say that Vera Brezhneva has a very jealous husband, nevertheless, the girl continues to be naked in front of the cameras and still leads an active social life.
Soloist of "VIA Gra" Svetlana Loboda
A very brave and very enthusiastic person Svetlana Loboda in the VIA Gra group took the place of Anna Sedakova 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 Groy, recorded new videos and established friendly relations with Valery Meladze. So, a month after her departure from the group, the first solo song of the artist appeared on the radio. In 2009, she represented Ukraine at Eurovision, and now she has taken up the creation of 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 the girl did an incredible amount of plastic surgery to change her appearance and hide from the producers of a certain Cappuccino group, with whom she had a two-year contract. The consequences of these "adventures" are clearly visible on Svetlana's face: enlarged lips, rhinoplasty - braces at such an early age turned her into a victim of plastic surgery.
Soloist of "VIA Gra" Albina Dzhanabaeva
The soloist of the next composition of the group is known not so much for her creative achievements as part of the ensemble, but for her connection with the singer and producer Valery Meladze. They are united by a common son Kostya and a romantic relationship, which in the past became a "passing ticket" for the group.
Albina worked for a long time on backing vocals with Valery Meladze, after which she was invited to the VIA Gra group to replace Svetlana Loboda. Dzhanabaeva's debut in the group was the video for the song "The World I Didn't Know Before You".
Albina Dzhanabaeva is still the soloist of the "hottest" band in the country. In 2009, the girl decided to study psychology, so in addition to concerts, tours and star 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.
Soloist of "VIA Gra" Christina Kots-Gotlib
The winner of numerous beauty contests, the owner of the title "Miss Ukraine-2009" and a professional fashion model Christina Kots-Gotlieb in the group "VIA Gra" was only three months old. The girl justified the record-breaking short period of stay in the ensemble with a too “complex character”, which did not allow her to bend to the requirements of the producers.
Christina has a very bright appearance and beautiful, long hair. But the girl never did vocals and could not bring anything to VIA Gro except a beautiful face. Christina Kots-Gotlieb appeared in the video “Deceive, but stay”, took part in several photo shoots as part of a group, and then disappeared from show business without a trace.
It was much easier for Christina Kots-Gotlieb to make a career in the modeling business than to conquer the fans of the VIA Gra group.
Soloist of "VIA Gra" Olga Koryagina
On the eve of the airing of the show of the channel "1 + 1" "I want to go to VIA Gru!" Lady.TSN remembered all its members for 13 years.
Alena Vinnitskaya. "number one"

Alena Vinnitskaya
Alena is the stage name of Vinnitskaya, according to her passport, her name is Olga. In 1993, under the influence of the work of Viktor Tsoi, she created the group "The Last Unicorn", after the collapse of which she was the host on the BIZ-TV channel.
In "VIA Gre" she sang from 2001 to 2003. She starred in the videos "Attempt number five", "Hug me", "Bomb", "I'm not coming back", "Stop! Stop! Stop!", "Good morning, dad." She left VIA Gra to start a solo career, which she is now successfully doing. She is the only glam-pop-rock performer in Ukraine, she writes her own songs.
Hope Granovskaya. "Long-liver"
vkontakte.ru
Nadezhda Granovskaya
She managed to stay in the group from 2001 to 2006. And, according to the figurative expression of one of the producers of the project, Dmitry Kostyuk, she just played the role of "the main Viagra" - Granovskaya's incredible sexuality had a stunning (both literally and figuratively!) effect on men. After leaving VIA Gra, she became Meikher-Granovskaya. But over time, the second part of the surname was lost somewhere, and now Nadezhda is just Meikher.
Tatiana Nainik. "Victim"

Tatiana Nainik
Before "VIA Gra" a graduate of St. Petersburg University. A. I. Herzen worked as a model for six years, her photographs were published in such well-known publications as Shape, Elle, Top ten. Replaced Nadezhda Granovskaya at the time of her maternity leave. She starred in the clips "Stop! Stop! Stop!" and "Good morning, dad."
She left the group after the return of Granovskaya. The reasons for leaving were not widely discussed. According to one version, the producers did not need a quartet (there are too many of them in show business), so one of the participants had to be sacrificed. The choice fell on Nainik. Today Tatyana sings in the Russian group "Maybe", she was created according to the principle of "VIA Gra" - on the stage there are sexy girls in varying degrees of "nakedness", but the popularity of the last "Maybe" is still very far away.
Anna Sedokova. "Slave of Love"
She grew up in an incomplete family: her father left when Anya was five years old, she and her brother were raised by her mother, a teacher of the Ukrainian language, who worked day and night to provide for the children. Sedokova was engaged in music and dancing almost from the cradle - from the age of six she danced in the Svitanok folk ensemble, graduated with honors from a music school, and after graduating from general education she entered the Institute of Culture.

Anna Sedokova
Before "VIA Gra" she worked as a model, was a presenter on radio and television. She participated in the first castings at VIA Gru, but did not pass the selection due to her young age: Anna was only seventeen years old at that time. The producers remembered her when in 2002 they decided to turn the duo into a trio. She left VIA Gro for the sake of love - Sedokova married football player Valentin Belkevich and gave birth to his daughter Alina. However, the first marriage, as well as the second, with, was short-lived - they say that despite the birth of Monica's second daughter, Anna is now free again. Under the pseudonym Annabelle tried to start a solo career, took part in projects on Russian and Ukrainian television, starred for men's magazines, but viewers still remember Sedokova primarily as an ex-soloist of VIA Gra.
Vera Brezhneva. Dumpling turned into sex-symbol
vkontakte.ru
Vera Brezhneva
Perhaps the most striking transformation - from a chrysalis to a butterfly, or rather, from Galushka to a real sex symbol - happened in VIA Gre with Vera Brezhneva. A girl from a large family, who was considered at school to be modest, "ugly" and "bespectacled", in a short time became one of the most attractive and seductive girls on the Russian and Ukrainian stage. In "VIA Gre" Vera - intermittently - sang from 2002 to 2007. Today, she not only makes a solo career, but also acts in films, hosts television shows and takes first place in numerous ratings of "the most beautiful" and "sexiest".
Svetlana Loboda. "In" VIA Gru"– on a bet"
vkontakte.ru
Svetlana Loboda
Before "VIA Gra" she sang in the groups "Cappuccino" and "Ketch", performed the main part in the musical "Equator", tried to start a solo career, inventing the image of an incognito singer who never takes off her dark glasses and calling herself Alicia Gorn in the Western manner.
The soloist of "VIA Gra" became a bet. At stake was a red convertible, which was supposed to become the property of Svetlana, but only if she not only gets into the group, but also stays in it for six months. Soon I learned that a casting was being held in one of the projects of Konstantin Meladze. Loboda found out that we were talking about VIA Gre when out of five hundred applicants who competed in vocal, dance and acting, twenty remained, including her. "Mercedes wheels in my pocket!" thought Svetlana and tripled her efforts. However, already on the first tour of the group, Loboda concluded: "The group is a big machine for big money." Her partners were so tired at concerts that they fell asleep in hotel rooms, literally not having time to reach the bed. Then disagreements began with the producers, and Svetlana had to leave. And since she did not last half a year, the red convertible remained a dream.
Albina Dzhanabaeva. "Second redhead"
After the departure of Anna Sedokova, "VIA Gra" needed a new "red-haired" soloist, and she became a graduate of the Gnessin Music College, backing vocalist Valery Meladze Albina Dzhanabaeva. Since on the eve of Albina gave birth to Valery's son Kostya, her invitation to VIA Gro was perceived by many ambiguously: someone considered him a reward, someone - a way to alienate her mistress, as they say, out of sight, out of mind.
vkontakte.ru
Albina Dzhanabaeva
The soloists of VIA-Gra, who happened to work with Dzhanabaeva, Tatyana Kotova and Meseda Bagaudinova, characterize her not from the best side - they call her sharp and unrestrained, they assure that Albina could make a scandal for any, even the most insignificant reason, and plucked her anger on service personnel - make-up artists, costumers, stage workers.
In "VIA Gre" she sang from 2004 to 2012, at the same time she studied at the Moscow Psychological and Pedagogical University at the Faculty of Psychology. After the official closure of the group, its producer Konstantin Meladze announced the beginning of Dzhanabaeva's solo career.
Christina Kots-Gottlieb. The shortest stay in "VIA" Gre"
Christina Kots-Gotlieb was born in Donetsk. She was engaged in dancing and sports - she is a master of sports in rhythmic gymnastics. The owner of the titles "Miss Donetsk", "Miss Donbass-2003", "Miss international Black Sea 2003", "Miss Donbass-2004".

Christina Kotz-Gotlieb
After Nadezhda Granovskaya left the group and Vera Brezhneva announced her departure, the producers began to look for a new sexy blonde. The contract with Christina was concluded for five years, but in fact she was the lead singer of the group from January to April 2006. After filming the video "Deceive, but stay" was fired from "VIA Gra". Moreover, according to Christina herself, the producers did not even tell her about it - they simply stopped answering phone calls. Kots-Gotlieb was going to pursue a solo career, even starred in Bogdan Titomir's video "Do as I do!", But then she returned to her modeling career, becoming the face of the KOLTSO model agency. She took part in the contest "Miss Ukraine Universe-2009", where she won an unconditional victory.
Olga Koryagina. Designer

Olga Koryagina
A native of the city of Nikolaev came to the group in 2006, when Nadezhda Granovskaya once again announced her departure from VIA Gra. She managed to star in two clips of the group - "L.M.L" and "Flower and Knife". Upon learning of the pregnancy, Olga announced her departure from the group and soon married the father of the unborn child, businessman Andrei Romanovsky. After the birth of the child, producer Maxim Fadeev offered Koryagina to return to show business, but she refused. Today he is engaged in the design of fashionable clothes.
Meseda Bagaudinova. Girl from Dream

Meseda Bagaudinova
The producers of VIA Gra have always sympathized with girls with a bright oriental appearance, so in April 2007 Olga Koryagina was replaced by a singer of Avar (by her father) and Ukrainian-Belarusian (by her mother) origin Meseda Bagaudinova. At the beginning of her musical career, Meseda was a soloist of the Mechty group, quite famous in the south of Russia, but at that time she could not even dream of the glory of VIA Gra. Meseda spent a year and a half in VIA Gre, and was forced to leave after Nadezhda Granovskaya announced her return to the group. Bagaudinova returned to the Dreams group.
Tatyana Kotova. "False Pregnancy"
The owner of the title "Miss Russia-2006", represented Russia at the contests "Miss World-2007" and "Miss Universe-2007". Tatyana is an economist and anti-crisis manager by education. She got into VIA Gro in 2008 after the departure of Vera Brezhneva. She starred in the clips "My emancipation", "Anti-geisha" and "Crazy".

Tatyana Kotova
In 2010, the media suddenly vied with each other to write that Kotova would soon leave VIA Gro due to pregnancy. The rumors turned out to be exactly half true: Tatyana really left the group, but her pregnancy turned out to be false. The singer herself, when asked about the reasons for leaving, answered as follows: “We cannot admire the sun around the clock. I received my portion of sunshine at VIA Gre, now it’s time to collect stars. I am offered to work on television and act in films, I want to realize my creative abilities to the end, because there is no limit to perfection.
Eva Bushmina. "Girl-accident".

Eva Bushmina
A graduate of the "Star Factory" Eva Bushmina replaced Tatyana Kotova in "VIA Gre". Eva spent a total of about three years in the group. They say that in order not to "fly out" from the group, like other unsuccessful participants, she increased her breasts by two sizes - from the first to the third. In VIA Gre, Bushmina had a reputation as an “accident girl”, with whom something constantly happened, since Eva is a big fan of extreme sports and thrills. After the collapse of the group, despite the birth of a daughter (her father is the son of the ex-Minister of Economy of Ukraine Vladimir Lanovoy),.
Santa Dimopoulos. Destroyer

Santa Dimopoulos
It was with her arrival in the group that it became clear that the history of VIA Gra in its former form was declining. Despite numerous advantages - a bright appearance, sex appeal and athletic training (Santa is a master of sports in dancing) - the new soloist has become just another and, alas, an unsuccessful attempt to replace the irreplaceable Granovskaya. In 2012, after spending less than a year in the group, Dimopoulos announced her departure from it and the beginning of a solo career, as a result of which VIA Gra turned into the duet Albina Dzhanabaeva and Eva Bushmina, which soon broke up.
Taisiya Kondratieva
In the most popular girl group, personnel changes again took place.
Konstantin Meladze announced the renewal of the team. The producer continued to work with Erica Herceg, who has been working in the team for five years, but replaced Anastasia Kozhevnikova and Natalya Mogilenets with new performers - Olga Meganskaya and Ulyana Sinetskaya.
The girls in the updated line-up have already recorded the hit "I fell in love with a monster."
In 2013, we recall, literally a week after the announcement of the closure of VIA Gra, Konstantin Meladze announced the launch of a new TV project, I Want V VIA Gro. The ex-soloists of VIA Gra Alena Vinnitskaya, Nadezhda Granovskaya, Anna Sedokova, Albina Dzhanabaeva, Meseda Bagaudinova and Santa Dimopoulos became mentors for those who wanted to get into the group of girls. In the final, the trio was determined, which lasted until this year: Anastasia Kozhevnikova, Misha Romanova and Erika Herceg.
Anastasia Kozhevnikova, Misha Romanova and Erica Herze
And even earlier in the group, 16 beautiful girls succeeded each other for many years. All of them were incredibly beautiful. But, unfortunately, not everyone stayed in the group for a long time, and now only true fans can remember them. Let's remember together.
Alena Vinnitskaya
As part of the group: 2001-2003.
The very first member of the group. It was from the duet of Alena Vinnitskaya and Nadezhda Granovskaya that the VIA Gra group was born. Alena (according to Olga's passport) was already a famous singer and songwriter then. Inspired by the work of Viktor Tsoi, Alena created the group "The Last Unicorn" in 1993. Then the girl switched to radio and television and in a short time achieved some success and became recognizable. Producer Dmitry Kostyuk invited her to a casting for a new girl group. Later, two more girls joined Alena, but the casting did not pass. The producers even planned to close the project, without having time to open it. Fortunately, Nadezhda Granovskaya arrived at that time, who conquered the producers with her charisma. It was decided: only two would sing in the group - Alena and Nadya. After a successful start, Alena suddenly announced her desire to start a solo career and left the group.
She has released several studio albums and to this day she records songs and works with many musicians. In 2014, Alena was in a serious depression, she even had to seek help from psychiatrists. Fortunately, now the artist is doing well: she is still in demand in the musical field, married to blues musician Sergei Alekseev. By the way, the couple has been together since 1993.
Nadezhda Meikher-Granovskaya
As part of the group: 2001-2006 (break until 2011).
Luxurious "black" is included in the so-called "golden composition" of the group and stands at the origins of its occurrence. Nadezhda got into the group due to a coincidence. Valery Meladze performed on tour in the girl's hometown of Khmelnitsky, and the concert organizer let slip that the singer was casting for a new group. The enterprising girl made a professional photo shoot and sent it to the Meladze brothers. It was difficult to resist her beauty, and soon Nadia received an invitation to the casting. But in order to get into the squad, she had to part with a few kilograms - that was the condition of the producers. For two years, VIAgra performed as part of Alena Vinnitskaya and Nadezhda Granovskaya. And in 2002, Nadia was going on maternity leave, and the producers were forced to urgently look for a temporary replacement for her.
However, the young mother did not sit on maternity leave for a long time - a month after the birth of her son, she again went on stage. In 2006, the singer left the group for the second time, and in 2009 she returned again. In 2011, Nadezhda finally left the group. Now Granovskaya is not only a singer, but also a successful businesswoman. She owns a fashion boutique, works on her own projects, and teaches master classes. She is married to businessman Mikhail Urzhumtsev, from whom she gave birth to two more children - daughters Anna and Maria.
Tatiana Nainik
Photo: frame from the clip “Stop! Stop! Stop!"
As part of the group: during 2002.
Tatyana briefly graced the group with her presence - she was taken only to replace Nadezhda Granovskaya, who had gone on maternity leave. But the girl seriously counted on a long-term career in the group. The former model managed to appear in only two clips - “Stop! Stop! Stop!" and "Good morning, dad." After Granovskaya left her maternity leave, the producers decided that two brunettes in the group were too much and destroyed the stereotype: a brunette, a blonde and a redhead. Tatyana was asked to leave the project.
After VIA Gra, the girl gave several controversial interviews about her departure from the girls' team. But Tatyana did not worry for a long time: she created her own group Maybe - though not as successful as VIA Gra. In 2008, information appeared in the media that the singer was diagnosed with a "depressive disorder", which was accompanied by panic attacks. Nainik had to go through a difficult period: the death of his father, a terrible diagnosis of cancer in his mother, an attack by hooligans. She spent a lot of money on treatment. At the same time, only Anna Sedokova supported her from her former colleagues at that moment.
Now Tatyana is married to Alexander Terekhov (son of actress Margarita Terekhova), she is raising her daughter Vera.
Anna Sedokova
Photo: frame from the clip "Kill my girlfriend"
As part of the group: 2002-2004.
Anna is still called the star of the famous girl trio. Sedokova went to fame for a long time: from childhood she was engaged in dancing and music, graduated from a music school, and then an institute of culture. Combining the work of a TV presenter and a model, the girl tried to pass the very first casting in the group. But because of her young age (Anna was 17 years old), the future star was refused. In 2002, the producers reconsidered their decision and invited Sedokova to the group. In 2004, she left the group due to pregnancy.
When Anna announced her decision to leave the team, the fans rebelled. The newcomer Svetlana Loboda was practically boycotted and refused to accept her as a replacement for her beloved Sedokova. But Anna decided to devote herself to her family and her future solo career. By the way, about the family. The star was officially married twice: to football player Valentin Belkevich, to whom she gave her daughter Alina, and then to businessman Maxim Chernyavsky. Married to her second husband, Anna gave birth to a second daughter, Monica.
Anna also tries herself in the cinema. She played roles in the comedy "Pregnant" with Dmitry Dyuzhev.
In April 2017, the singer gave birth to a son, Hector. She decided not to disclose the name of the father of the child.
Vera Brezhneva
Photo: frame from the video "Ocean and Three Rivers"
As part of the group: 2003-2007.
Another representative of the "gold composition" along with Anna Sedokova and Nadezhda Granovskaya. Vera Galushka (this is the singer's maiden name) in childhood was not particularly beautiful, she grew up as a quiet and modest girl. And who would have thought that someday she would become one of the sexiest Russian pop stars!
And Vera herself did not think about fame and music. She dreamed of a career as an economist, studied excellently, and was actively involved in sports. By chance, the girl ended up at the group's concert as a spectator and answered the call of the soloists to perform the song with them on stage. But any girl could take the stage! But it was Vera who made up her mind. And this decision turned out to be fateful. The producers noticed her and invited her to the casting. They were just puzzled by the search for a replacement for Alena Vinnitskaya, who was leaving the group. Already in 2003, the same composition appeared to the fans, which entered the history of the group as “golden”: Vera Brezhneva, Anna Sedokova and Nadezhda Granovskaya.
The singer left the group in 2007 to pursue a solo career and try her hand at film. Brezhneva recorded several hits, starred in the comedies Love in the Big City and Jungle.
Currently, Vera is raising two children: daughters Sonya, born in marriage to Vitaly Voichenko, and Sarah, who appeared in marriage with businessman Mikhail Kiperman.
In 2015, Brezhnev secretly married Konstantin Meladze. The celebration took place in Italy.
Svetlana Loboda
As part of a group: during 2004 (four months).
Svetlana also did not stay long in the group. The girl had a responsible role - to replace Anna Sedokova. But the fans took the decision of the producers with hostility. Haters condemned Loboda's behavior. According to fans, if Anna could present herself seductively and sexually, then Svetlana went too far with eroticism. At the same time, Loboda did not despair and, having left the group, began a solo career. As you can see, quite successful. Her work has developed especially successfully over the past few years. At least the hits "Your Eyes" and "Superstar" sing all around.
Currently, the singer is raising her daughter Evangelina, born in a civil marriage with dancer and choreographer Andrei Tsar. And in May 2018, Svetlana gave birth to her second daughter, Tilda. The name of the girl's father is a closely guarded secret.
Albina Dzhanabaeva
As part of the group: 2004-2012.
Albina became the new redhead in the group. It was she who replaced Svetlana Loboda, who was originally supposed to replace Anna Sedokova. Backing vocalist Valeria Meladze joined the trio in 2004 and stayed for a long time - right up to 2012! By the way, Dzhanabaeva agreed to act as part of VIA Gra only the second time. But after that, the singer immediately began a very busy life: in addition to touring and recording studio albums, she studied psychology, was the face of a fashion brand for women's clothing and was engaged in raising her son. In 2012, she began her solo career and starred in Kirill Serebrennikov's film Treason.
Albina is married to Valery Meladze and has two sons, Konstantin and Luka.
Christina Kotz-Gotlieb
Photo: frame from the clip "Deceive, but stay"
As part of the group: from January to April 2006.
The former beauty queen and holder of the titles "Miss Donetsk" and "Miss Donbass" managed to light up only in one clip "Deceive, but stay." In the group, the girl worked for only a few months - from January to April.
Christina returned to her modeling career and continued to take part in beauty contests - so, she received another title in 2009, becoming Miss Ukraine Universe.
Soon Kots-Gotlieb joined the Queens group, which previously featured other ex-soloists of VIA Gra: Olga Romanovskaya, Santa Dimopoulos and Tatyana Kotova.
Olga Koryagina
As part of the group: 2006-2007.
Olga became another replacement for Nadezhda Granovskaya, who again went on maternity leave. A bright brunette can be seen in two clips - “Flower and Knife” and “L.M.L”. In 2007, the girl married businessman Andrei Romanovsky and, due to pregnancy, decided to leave the group.
In 2016, Romanovskaya made her television debut. She replaced Lena Flying and became the face of the famous Revizorro program. After working in a new capacity for just a few months, Olga nevertheless decided to return to her musical career and became one of the soloists of the Queens group.
She is currently married and has a son, Maxim.
Surprisingly, the last line-up of the VIA-Gra group lasted the longest in the history of the female band. The composition of Misha Romanova, Anastasia Kozhevnikova and Erica Hertz lasted together for more than five years. But recently, information appeared on the Web that the soloist of the group had decided to leave her.
Misha Romanova (real name Natalya Mogilyanets) still finally leaves the female pop group VIA-Gra, but the producers have already managed to find a replacement for her.
The new soloist of Viagra instead of Misha: what happened
Misha Romanova made an official statement that she really is no longer a soloist of the VIA-Gra group, and they have already managed to find a replacement for her, however, the line-up has not been updated on the team’s website, and fans are confused and eager to find out: who is new member.
Back in 2014, the media reported that there was a conflict among the girls in the team, despite the fact that Misha Romanova quarreled with Nastya and Erica, that is, both participants were negatively disposed towards the girl.
But despite all this, the producer of the group denied all this news, telling the media that the girls were friends not only at work, but also in life, and there could be no conflicts between them.
Apparently, these were really just rumors, because for 5 years of joint work, the general public was not aware of a single scandal among the members of the pop group.

Fans of the female pop group were dumbfounded by the news of Romanova's departure. There are many versions about Misha's departure, but the girl herself on her Instagram said that she had changed her priorities in life, and now love comes first for her, which is why she leaves the team.
“The most important vocation of a woman is love. And sometimes she needs a firm decision. For a while, the artist in me gave way to a woman ... Therefore, I leave the group, but leave a piece of my soul in it,” the girl wrote.
"These were years filled with wonderful music of a man of genius, adored producer Konstantin Meladze. Thank you, Kostya, for this chance, for your faith and support, for the wonderful songs that warm the hearts of many listeners! Erika and Nastya, we were a team, one , I will miss you very, very much! This page from life will forever remain in my memory, "she summed up.
But fans are sure that Romanovskaya simply decided to take up her solo cause, since it was for this reason that all the ex-participants of VIA Gra left.
