The starting lineup of the group thus, from which it all began, were two Ukrainian girls, Alena Vinnitskaya and Nadezhda Granovskaya. The history of their arrival in the group turned out to be different. Alena, at that time working for the Ukrainian television company Biz-TV, was invited by Dmitry Kostyuk himself to participate in the group. Another producer was Konstantin Meladze. It was he, together with Dmitry, who was lucky enough to open Nadezhda for the group. The starting point that persuaded him to decide to accept Nadezhda as a member was her amateur photo session. 
There are several versions about why the group was named that way. On the one hand, VIA is an abbreviation that stands for "Vocal and Instrumental Ensemble", and "Gra" is translated from Ukrainian as "game". On the other hand, many believe that the name is a derivative of the surnames of the vocalists, in which "VI" - the beginning of the surname "Vinnitskaya", "A" - the first letter of the name Alena, and "Gra" - respectively, the beginning of the surname of Alena's partner in group, Nadezhda Granovskaya. There is also a version that "Gra" stands for "Voice, Joy, Artistry." But the real reason was that all sorts of transcripts somehow formed the word "VIA Gra", which has the same name with pills that increase sexual potency in men, which was facilitated by the external image and sex appeal of the vocalists. In 2002, the VIA Gra group was shocked by some changes. A new stage in its evolutionary development has begun. The structure was changed - from a duet the team turned into a trio. It all started with the fact that Nadezhda Granovskaya was preparing to become a mother, respectively, on a busy touring activity, it was necessary to put an end to it for a while. In order to make up for the temporary loss of Hope, a casting was urgently announced. The producers decided to increase the number of participants to three people, which was successfully done. The ex-TV presenter was invited to the group Anna Sedokova, who worked on the O-TV and Novy Kanal channels, as well as a model from St. Petersburg - Tatyana Naynik. Without letting the updates "take root", the group continued "right off the bat". A great video was shot for the song “Stop! Stop! Stop!". He showed that the group was moving in the right direction and the fact that Anna Sedokova was in the group was extremely beneficial. On September 12, 2002, the shooting of the video for the song "Good Morning, Dad!" ended. This event was marked by the return to service of Nadezhda Granovskaya, who less than a month ago gave birth to a son, who was named Igor. After a certain period of time after the filming of the video, Tatyana leaves the group. golden composition In 2003, again, there were changes. Alena Vinnitskaya decided to start her own solo career. Accordingly, again casting, painful choices, as a result of which Vera Brezhneva. Another "epoch" is being formed, the line-up, which in the camp of the group's fans is often called the golden line-up. Indeed, such a definition in relation to Vera, Anna and Nadezhda is fully justified. This year is becoming very fruitful in terms of creativity of the team. At the beginning, a video clip for the song "Don't leave me, my love!" is being shot. This is followed by the release of the band's second album, Stop! Taken!" 
In 2004, Anna Sedokova leaves the group. On an emergency basis, they are looking for a replacement for her, which is found in the person of Svetlana Loboda, but the replacement turned out to be a little unequal, despite the fact that on June 4, 2004 VIA Gra wins the Muz-TV 2004 award, a video clip for the song "Biology" is being shot . Nevertheless, Svetlana is “not accepted” by fans who immediately draw analogies between her and Anna Sedokova. 
Despite this, slight dissatisfaction with Svetlana grew and it was decided to part with her. Svetlana is currently pursuing a solo career. In place of Loboda they take Albina Dzhanabaeva, who worked for a long time on backing vocals with Valery Meladze and got into the group on his recommendation. And now everyone should breathe easy, but suddenly Nadya Granovskaya leaves. 2005 year. And the group is urgently looking for a replacement. In a hurry, they take Christina Kotz-Gotlieb. Albina becomes the center - as the strongest vocalist. The group looks like this: Christina also did not "take root". I had to urgently take the girl who was on Meladze's backup dancers. The girl is modest and diligent. Her name is Olga Koryagina.
And it would seem... All is well. We are working. It wasn't there! New Olga Koryagina leaves the ViaGra team. Married Albina and Vera did not work for long as a duet, and the producers found a wonderful Meseda.
All of the above line-up changes finished off Vera Brezhnev and she left the team. Meseda and Albina perform wonderfully as a duet... In March 2008, the producers hired a new soloist - the winner of the Miss Russia 2006 contest Tatyana Kotova. In January 2009, there was a reshuffle in the team. Meseda Bagaudinova had to part with the team due to the fact that the soloist of the first line-up of the group and the main old-timer of the team, Nadezhda Meikher, returned to the team. On March 22, 2010, Tatyana Kotova finally left the group of her own free will. To replace Tatyana, the producers of the team invited the finalist of the Ukrainian project "Zirok Factory 3" - Eva Bushmina.
Now the soloists of the VIA Gra group are Nadezhda Meikher-Granovskaya, Albina Dzhanabaeva and Eva Bushmina. For all the time of performances, many participants have passed through the project, and all of them eventually connect their future life with show business in one way or another. Alena Vinnitskaya successfully made her solo career in Ukraine. Tatiana Nainik Producer and member of the Maybe trio. Anna Sedokova and Svetlana Loboda actively trying to unwind solo in Russia and Ukraine. Christina Kotz-Gotlieb is in the modeling business. Olga Romanovskaya (Koryagina) she shot a video for the song "Lullaby" and after the birth of a child she never returned to the big stage, but she opened her own boutique in Odessa. Left the group in August 2007 Vera Brezhneva decided to try her hand at television and hosted the Magic 10 program, and later made a successful solo career. Meseda Bagaudinova plans to do a solo project. Tatyana Kotova immediately after leaving the band, she began filming in one of the new Russian TV series and released the solo song "He". The author of the texts and the composer of all the songs of the group is Konstantin Meladze. He, together with Dmitry Kostyuk, performs a producer role.

Anna Sedokova and Nadezhda Meikher staged a showdown on the set of "I want to VIA Gru"
Moscow, October 4, RIA FederalPress. The recently launched project “I Want to VIA Gro” gathered a lot of viewers at the TV screens, because right before their eyes a new composition of the popular group is taking shape - hundreds of girls are trying to win the attention of Konstantin Meladze not only with their vocal abilities, but also with extravagant performances. Great competition also affects the mood of the contestants - quarrels and squabbles between beauties have recently begun to arise more and more often. However, the intensity of passions was also transferred to the mentors of young performers - on the last shooting there was a serious conflict between the participants of the "golden composition" of VIA Gra, Anna Sedokova and Nadezhda Meikher.
A black cat ran between the ex-soloists of the popular group - Sedokova allowed herself to criticize the contestant, whose mentor is Meikher-Granovskaya. Nadia, who has a strong character and does not tolerate unfair reviews, spoke sharply about her former colleague, which managed to quickly cool her ardor. The girls' quarrel took place right in front of a large audience and television cameras, and even producer Konstantin Meladze could not calm them down.
Sedokova, who was defeated in this battle, is far from an angel herself - not so long ago she admitted that she helped another former soloist of the band, Santa Dimopoulos, leave the show. And the Ukrainian performer Potap, in one of his interviews with the “Secular Life” program, said that he had repeatedly witnessed violent quarrels between members of the most seductive group on the national stage. “Next to us in hotel rooms, ships and planes, you could hear all the time: “You know where you went! Yes, you yourself know where to go! It was a conversation between Vera Brezhneva and Anna Sedokova - the golden composition of VIA Gra, - the 7days.ru portal quotes the artist.
In Kyiv, the shooting of the reality show "I want to VIA Gru" began. The project resembles the "Star Factory", but 24 girls can take part in it. The name speaks for itself - the finalists will become a new sex trio with the old name "VIA Gra". The director of the TV show is Alan Badoev, who conducted preliminary castings of participants in Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan and Belarus. According to the girls, the selection was very tough. For example, they were given the following task: to break into a trio in a day and come up with a concert number.
The mentors of the contestants were ex-“viagrinkas”: Nadezhda Granovskaya-Meikher, Albina Dzhanabaeva, Meseda Bagautdinova, Vera Brezhneva and Anna Sedokova. Particular attention is focused on Anna, who was a member of the "golden" composition of the group, but left the team with a scandal. It was said that because of her departure, Meladze lost a lot of money. Allegedly, her partners, Brezhnev and Granovskaya, harbored a grudge against her, as they had to work hard twice. For a long time, she mentioned Sedokova's name in an interview with reproach. 
Sedokova does not consider herself guilty. She left the team in May 2004, as she married football player Valentin Belkevich and later gave birth to a daughter. Moreover, she was offended by Konstantin Meladze for his phrase that she had never been the main participant for him and for the group. Anya made excuses: “I really was in the group for a short time. But I think, not so imperceptibly ... For me, we have always been equal parts of one whole. No one is better, no one is more loved. We were one and for one." 
Now, fortunately, all grievances are forgotten and hostility has come to an end. On the set of the show, the former participants laugh and chat merrily with each other, and Vera Brezhneva even treated Anya to a dinner of homemade borscht and meatballs.
Sedokova shares her impressions: “I haven’t experienced the range of feelings that I experienced on the set for a long time. When the past is suddenly mixed with the future. When Kostya Meladze is sitting next to you, and you still feel like his little student, but for some reason you already decide the fate of others. Time flew by unnoticed. I didn't understand how...
Anya notes that for a moment she felt again in her family and thanked Brezhnev for a delicious dinner. To celebrate, she complimented her, noting that she has grown incredibly as a host! 
But Anna criticized the participants: “Many go to this project, not at all counting on the fact that you need to sing in it. Or it's unrealistic to dance... Just being beautiful is not enough. Surprised just as some girls did not use their chance. ((But! There are other girls! Talented, not ordinary and purposeful))) Actually, you will see everything in early September on the main channels of your country. 
Journalists noted that the singers continued to support 
image of sex symbols and were dressed in skimpy outfits. The palm was taken by Sedokova, who impressed everyone with her neckline.
Years in the group
2000–2003
Who was
She began to write poetry at the age of 5, and at the same age she took up a serious business - she made puppets with her own hands, and then sold tickets for puppet shows to her relatives. She began her musical career as a teenager - after listening to the Kino group, she learned to play the guitar, sing her own songs and make rock in the full sense. Immediately before joining VIA Gra, she sewed purses, worked as a secretary in an insurance company, was a VJ and a radio host. The first musical group created by Vinnitskaya was called equally tasty and romantic - "The Last Unicorn". ( 6 points)
Role in the team
Vinnitskaya was the very first participant in VIA Gra, to which producer Dmitry Kostyuk chose two more girls at the casting - Yulia and Marina. However, in this composition, the project remained on paper, Yulia and Marina were overboard, and Nadezhda Granovskaya was paired with Alena. From this, in fact, the legend begins. Alena was responsible for the vocal parts, Nadezhda was a pleasure to watch - a classic division of labor in musical production. The first album "Attempt No. 5", which seems to be the purest classic from the standpoint of 2014, is entirely on the conscience of this duet. Although it is generally accepted to consider Brezhnev, Sedokov and Granovskaya as the golden composition of VIA Gra, we dare to argue: it was these women who first fought the pop rogue and it was on this album, there is not a single insignificant thing, all the songs, like pearls in Cleopatra's box, are on selection! ( 7 points)
"Attempt number five", the debut of "VIA Gra" - and, accordingly, Vinnitsa
Who is now
Already 11 years have passed since Vinnitskaya, who calls herself the only performer of glam-pop-rock in Ukraine, has nothing to do with the sexy band that made her famous. And it’s worth saying that the artist’s solo career is developing very successfully: 8 albums, not bad (against the background of Anna Sedokova’s work, and completely chic) singles, participation in the soundtrack for Piranha Hunt, not a single spot on reputation, nothing to be ashamed of. Recently, Vinnitskaya has expanded in breadth: she creates a capsule collection for the Gwen Stefani brand, calls on Ukrainians to unite (while quoting Akhmatova: “But we lie down in it and become it, that’s why we call this land ours”), cancels tours in Crimea and participates in various charitable programs.

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

Who was
Hot little thing from the Ukrainian village of Zbruchovka, who sent her nude photos to Konstantin Meladze in her youth and, of course, passed the casting. We are all people, and who would not take. Having moved to Kyiv, at first she communicated only with producers and Alena Vinnitskaya. Meladze Sr. would later call her Mowgli in a female form, since she could not speak fluently either in Russian or Ukrainian, she spoke Surzhik. ( 3 points)
Role in the team
Producer Kostyuk called Nadezhda Meikher "the main Viagra", paying tribute to her seductive habitus, Konstantin Meladze gave a new surname Granovskaya for a successful combination with the name of the project - and it was she who was destined to eventually become the face of the group, its talisman and long-liver. She is the soloist of VIA Gra three times, even though after each departure she said that it was for good. In total, Granovskaya, who had worked for about eight years on the Kyiv pop plantation, eventually outlived Vinnitskaya, Sedokova and other girls up to Bushmina. The situation for such a cynical conveyor of girlish souls as VIA Gra is truly unique: as they say, from Ilyich to Ilyich without a heart attack and paralysis. ( 10 points)
"Bomb" - a number that fully corresponds to its name
Who is now
The author of the collection of intimate poems “Momentary Attraction” (“And in a pause over personal admiration, you will not notice my departure; I look in the mirror with contempt and think what a freak you are ...”) recently starred in a Ukrainian romantic comedy, continues to participate in the show of reincarnations "One to One", where he gets used to the images of Gurchenko, Leontiev and prepares for a solo career - this will be, according to the artist, something "with retro motives, in the spirit of the 60s and with elements of Italy."

Years in the group
Who was
A native Petersburger, a model and a graduate of the canine school, at one time she dreamed of becoming a veterinarian. As a child, she was engaged in rhythmic gymnastics and ballet, was thin and considered herself an ugly duckling. I got into the modeling business with the help of my grandmother, who noticed an announcement about a beauty contest and sent her granddaughter there, into show business - again thanks to photographs sent to Konstantin Meladze. Nainik claims that she was invited to the team twice: the first time she did not go, considering the name vulgar and the songs incomprehensible. ( 4 points)
Role in the team
Against the general background, Nainik seems to be an artist of the second row - this is a figure completely lost among her companions. She happened to stay in the zone of special male attention for only six months: they took Tatiana to replace Granovskaya, who had gone on maternity leave, and when she wanted to return, the replacement was asked to reel in the fishing rods. As part of the group, busty Daphne appeared in the clips for “Stop! Stop! Stop!" and “Good Morning, Dad!”, and in addition, she participated in the deluxe edition of the album “Attempt No. 5”. There is not much to be done in half a year, of course, but in any case, this cannot be called a full-fledged contribution to the development of VIA Gra. ( 4 points)
"Stop! Stop! Stop!"
Who is now
Immediately after VIA Gra, for a long time she restored her nerves with a psychotherapist and still complains about the bloody regime of the Georgian tyrant Meladze. In moments of peace of mind, she managed to graduate from teaching in St. Petersburg, and now she is a producer and at the same time sings in the girl group Maybe. All the time, money and soul is invested in this project. ( 3 points)
Actually, the song of the group Maybe "Remained"
sex factor
Passionate Tatyana does not hold, but for six months, Russian men hardly had time to taste and feel her forms by eye. The producers of the group probably liked the dark-haired dark-haired girl (otherwise, why the hell would they take her), but after filming for Maxim magazine, they claimed that she was the only one from the group that had to be photoshopped. ( 5 points)

2002–2004
Who was
In the case of Sedokova, the life path before joining the group is practically no different from companions: she loves music since childhood, a diligent student at school, some fives, her mother is overjoyed. At a more mature age, working as a model, TV presenter and VJ - Anna seemed to have decided to try all kinds of vacancies from the "Arts and Entertainment" section of recruiting sites. Even as a child, she firmly knew that she would grow up and would certainly become an artist, and so it happened. ( 7 points)
Role in the team
I got into the group only the second time, without first passing the selection for the youngster. It is difficult to imagine the history of the team without the red-haired Sedokova - this meeting seemed to have been organized in heaven, everything came together in the right way. Largely thanks to Sedokova, the same composition with Granovskaya and Brezhneva was recognized as the strongest, gold, diamond and the most sexy in the entire history of the project. To understand exactly what contribution Sedokova made, it is enough to listen to a couple of songs at random from the Stop! Removed”, which is celebrating its anniversary today, - talents will be revealed wide open, take away the ready ones. ( 9 points)
"That's it"
Who is now
The author of The Art of Seduction leads a charming twitter and breathtaking instagram, lives in Los Angeles, participates in Russian and Ukrainian TV shows, releases his own clothing line, records some songs and shoots some videos. She was married twice - to the football player Belkevich and the main character of the show "The Bachelor" Maxim Chernyavsky. In musical terms, alas, everything is extremely deplorable: the only more or less memorable composition can only be called a duet with Misha Krupin “Unsafe”, otherwise it is inferior to almost all of its groupmates who went into a solo binge. However, Anna herself is optimistic and incites her ill-wishers in the microblog: “I (as you think) are just a stupid girl with boobs, which is why I have a red medal at school and a red diploma in music, higher education, several business projects that bring pleasure and income, a team of 20 people who love me very much.” ( 5 points)
"Unsafe", a joint song by Sedokova with Misha Krupin

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

Who was
Another story from the category of "invested in children from childhood - got a star at the exit." Gymnastics, karate, handball, music school, participation in school competitions and performances - the development was comprehensive, Vera tried to succeed in everything. The Miss Dnepropetrovsk contest changed the layout of life - during the local selections, the producers of VIA Gra noticed the beauty, and as a result she took the place of Alena Vinnitskaya. ( 5 points)
Role in the team
Along with Granovskaya and Sedokova, she was the main creator of the group's success and a member of its golden composition. It is she who is considered to be a typical “Viagra”, which turns men on half a turn with one wave of eyelashes: back then, in 2003, she gave a heart for a long memory, flew down like an autumn leaf. And there was no person who would tell her “Stop! Stop! Stop!". For 4 years of Vera's presence in the group, the entire classical repertoire was created: something that no normal corporate party or bachelorette party can do without. From Kill My Friend to Lie But Stay through Biology and Diamonds. ( 7 points)
"Kill my girlfriend", another thing from the gold fund "VIA Gra"
"Love will save the world", one of the main Russian pop songs of recent years
sex factor
Repeatedly recognized as the sexiest woman in Russia, the most stylish actress and beauty icon. Art is obliged to penetrate deeply into life, therefore it is not surprising that the “Sexy Bambina” sung by Vera for Russian-speaking citizens is she herself. Presumably, a very high percentage of sighted people officially tilybonite on Vera, while not being afraid of either the devil, or God, or Soviet power. ( 8 points)

Years in the group
Who was
A music school, a circus-variety academy, the first Ukrainian musical about Miklouho-Maclay "Ekvator" - by all indications, the traditional story of gradual entry into show business with an understanding of one's own prospects back in childhood is pecking out here. And Svetlana's family is simple: her father is at a factory, her mother is an energy supplier, her grandmother is an opera singer and her grandfather is a KGB officer who developed a plan to overthrow the dictator Batista in the Cuban jungle. "VIA Gra" was not the first serious experience in Loboda's career - before that she sang as part of the Cappuccino trio and the Ketch group, which she personally created. Loboda can be called the most prepared artist at the time of joining VIA Gra - take it and sculpt it at no extra cost. ( 7 points)
Role in the team
Now Svetlana is rarely remembered in the context of the group - she did not last so long as VIA Gra, only 4 months. For such a period you will not turn around in breadth, you will not show the goods with your face, even make a loud scandal - and that will not work. So it turns out that in the face of eternity, you can only show the clip "Biology" and shooting in the musical "Sorochinsky Fair", where Valery Meladze was the devil, and the parodist Galtsev was the priest. ( 2 points)
Loboda in the video "Biology"
Who is now
How quickly she was ready to jump into the composition of VIA Gra without a run, just as quickly she freed herself from her former shackles and recorded her first solo single - less than a month had passed! To real success, for which Lady Gaga would not be ashamed, Svetlana went long and hard, while doing ordinary things at the same time: she participated in Eurovision 2009, organized social events and fought domestic violence, trained children on the Ukrainian show "Voice" released her own clothing line. There were many worthy songs, but one turned out to be truly stellar - “40 Degrees” released in 2012. Absolutely bomb level, jewelry precision and handmade stuff. Only Brezhneva can beat this, the rest have nothing to cover in their repertoire. ( 8 points)

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

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

Who was
Master of sports in rhythmic gymnastics, a model from a family of Volga Germans, a regular participant in Ukrainian beauty contests, "Miss Donbass-2003", a man of flexible views and the same body. A short "viagration" experience for Christina was just a stunning flash on her life path, but by and large did not affect anything. ( 5 points)
Role in the team
She stayed in the group for about 3 months - this is the shortest watch in the entire long history of the sexually exploitative band. Even Loboda, who was going to win a red convertible on a bet when she reached six months of experience, worked longer than Kotz-Gotlieb - 4 months! They took a German after Granovskaya left and the contract was signed for 5 years, but after the release of the video for the song “Deceive, but stay,” she was given a turn from the gate. As Christina herself says, the producers simply stopped answering her phone calls. Dmitry Kostyuk will later say that the singer was blown away after the first concert and she began to ask for five-figure sums: “I want to receive like Britney Spears.” ( 1 point)
Who is now
After leaving the group, she rarely appeared in public, information about her future fate is extremely scarce. In 2009, she represented Ukraine in the Miss Universe 2009 final, at the beginning of this year the media blockade was interrupted by the release of the debut single "Trust Your Heart". ( 2 points)

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

Role in the team
She competed for the place of Nadezhda Granovskaya with the blonde Christina Kots-Gotlieb, after a long casting she lost to her and, upset, went home. But Christina was never able to fully enjoy the success: two months later, the producers drove the proud daughter of the coal magnate and accepted the brunette Koryagina into the team. Olga, by the way, also turned out to be a phenomenon too temporary: she managed to star in the clips of “L. M. L. and "Flower and Knife", and then left the group for the standard female reason - she became pregnant. It was then that she was paid the largest maternity leave in the history of VIA Gra - $ 10,000. ( 3 points)
Who is now
Fashion designer, boutique owner and author of evening dresses for finalists of Ukrainian beauty contests. She now performs on stage under the name of Olga Romanovskaya, and she launched her solo career only last fall. Although Max Fadeev was going to take on her six years ago, give her songs authored by his brother's wife (singer Monokini) and thus blow up the music market. Did not take, did not blow up. And Olga herself did not succeed either. ( 4 points)

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

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

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

In March 2008, she replaced Vera Brezhneva and immediately landed on the shooting of the video "I'm not afraid." Then there were "Emancipation", "Antigeisha" and "Crazy" - far from the last things in the work of "VIA Gra". The passionate blonde Kotova looked next to the partners who got on her watch not like a lost sheep, but extremely dignified, which is why she blew off for two whole years. Even though it was impossible to see her singing at least the word “mu” on the screen, you also need to be able to perform decorative and applied functions well. She left the group because of the desire to realize her creative abilities to the end. ( 3 points)
"Antigeisha"
Who is now
Sits on a protein diet, starred in utilitarian Russian films with titles like "What Men Do", began her solo career with the song "He" written by Irina Dubtsova in 2010. Four years have passed, Tatyana did not stand still, other songs were also performed, but you know exactly as much about them as about the mentioned composition “He”. ( 3 points)
sex factor
Beautiful woman Tatyana, very beautiful. More beautiful than her, consider, in "VIA Gra" and there was no one. Your camp is built, like church candles, your gaze is a piercing gaze with swords. No, in general, claims, one admiration. ( 8 points)

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

Role in the team
Right while participating in the TV show “Star Factory. Superfinal." announced an early exit from the project and moved to VIA Gra, replacing Tatyana Kotova there. Things were going towards the sunset of the once glorious girl team, and Bushmina managed to participate in only three releases: “Get out”, “A day without you” and “Hello, mom!”. I didn’t do the weather, but I didn’t spoil the common calico either - given that the group existed in the mode of a fading sinusoid, it would be blasphemy to demand more. ( 5 points)
"A Day Without You"
Who is now
Less than two months after leaving the group, Bushmina introduced a new song and herself as an independent pop unit. The most fashionable people of new Ukrainian music were connected to the debut: the singer Dmitry Monatik became the author of the song "Myself", and the soloist of The Maneken project Evgeniy Filatov became the sound producer. In addition to promoting her own creativity, she participated in the show “Yak dvi krapli”, where she reincarnated as Rihanna and Christina Aguilera. ( 5 points)
sex factor
Something at the level of Kate Hudson or even higher, that is, for an amateur. However, headlines like “Eva Bushmina flashed something” appear on the Internet quite often, which means that such lovers definitely exist in nature, there is no doubt about it. ( 6 points)

Years in the group
2011–2012
Who was
World fitness champion from a Greek-Assyrian-Ukrainian family, law school graduate, event manager, dance teacher, model and TV presenter. In a word, a versatile gifted person with an outstanding appearance. And without VIA Gra it would not have disappeared, the basic parameters are too good. ( 7 points)
Role in the team
A graduate of the third season of the Ukrainian "Star Factory" came a year before the closing of the project, replaced Nadezhda Granovskaya and participated only in the song "Hello, Mom!". ( 1 point)
"Hello Mom!"
Who is now
She didn’t want to be either “one of” or “black on the right” and left VIA Gra two months before the group officially closed. At the moment, only one single "When We Move" has been released, which has not gained much success (except for the status of "Ukrainian Nicole Scherzinger" in the comments to the video posted on the Internet). So you have to kiss dolphins, get married for the third time and post erotic photos in instagram, simultaneously quarreling with Anna Sedokova and sharing men with her. ( 2 points)
"When We Move"
sex factor
A swarthy and inflated athlete, a toned figure, elastic forms - Monsieur Meladze knew a lot about increments. Oriental flavor, as in the case of Meseda Bagaudinova, is what a charm is! ( 7 points
