The composition of Viagra with Loboda. The full history of the composition of the Viagra group

In the most popular women's group staff changes took place again.

Konstantin Meladze announced the renewal of the team. The producer continued to cooperate 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 for long 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 her passport Olga) was already famous singer and songwriter. 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 hometown girls in Khmelnitsky, and the organizer of the concert let slip that the singer was casting in 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

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. 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 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, at this moment former colleagues she was supported only by Anna Sedokova.

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 music school and then the 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 young age(Anna was 17 years old) the future star was denied. 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 (such maiden name singers) 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 solo career and try your hand at cinema. 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 Evangeline, born in 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 eventful life: in addition to touring and recording studio albums, she studied to be a psychologist, was the face of fashion brand women's clothing and took care of 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 again gone to maternity leave Nadezhda Granovskaya. 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. Having worked in a new capacity for just a few months, Olga nevertheless decided to return to musical career and became one of the soloists of the Queens group.

She is currently married and has a son, Maxim.

The Viagra project has existed for 17 years, and during this time many stunningly beautiful soloists have been in its composition. Let's take a look at the brightest of them.

What happened to the former soloists of Viagra? All of them are still successful and beautiful! See for yourself.

Alena Vinnitskaya, 42 years old

Alena Vinnitskaya became one of the first soloists of the Viagra group. In her youth, the girl was a fan of the Kino group. Influenced by the work of Viktor Tsoi, she began to write songs and organized her own group, The Last Unicorn. In 2000, Alena was invited to the Viagra musical group, where she sang in a duet with Nadezhda Granovskaya. Already after the first video, the group became popular, but Alena chose to leave the project and pursue a solo career.

Now Alena lives in Ukraine, gives concerts and hosts an entertainment program on television. In her personal life, everything is fine: for more than 20 years, the singer has been happily married to producer Sergei Alekseev.

Nadezhda Meikher-Granovskaya, 35 years old

According to the memoirs of the producer of the group, Konstantin Meladze, at the beginning of her career, Nadezhda Granovskaya looked like Mowgli. The girl, who grew up in the Ukrainian village of Zbruchevka, was wild and could not connect two words, but her sex appeal and extraordinary acting talent allowed her to become one of the brightest soloists of the group. According to producer Dmitry Kostyuk:

“Nadya... was born for the stage. In life, she is modest, reserved, she can sit quietly in a corner, you won’t even notice her. But as soon as he enters the stage, he fills the whole space with himself.

Nadezhda left the team several times and returned again. In 2011, she finally left the group and devoted herself to solo projects. I must say that Nadezhda is a very creative person: she studied for three years academic vocals, released a collection of poems, and also on October 1, 2017 presented her author's performance "Historia de Un Amor". The singer is the mother of three children: she gave birth to a son, Igor, at the dawn of her career from a Ukrainian businessman. Two daughters, Anna and Maria, appeared in a marriage with Mikhail Urzhumtsev after Nadezhda left the team.

Anna Sedokova, 34 years old

Although Anna Sedokova was the lead singer of Viagra for only two years and left the band more than 10 years ago, she is still considered the soul of the group and its quintessence. Ambitious Anna since childhood she was engaged in music and dancing, and, having joined the team, she immediately won the hearts of his fans. However, two years later she married football player Valentin Belkevich, became pregnant and decided to leave Viagra, causing massive discontent among the fans.

From Belkevich, Anna gave birth to a daughter, Alina, but the marriage soon broke up. A few years later, Sedokova married businessman Maxim Chernyavsky and gave birth to a second daughter, Monica, but this time she divorced her husband. In April 2017, Anna's son Hector was born, whose father was businessman Artem Komarov. A few months after the birth of the child, his parents broke up.

Anna continues to actively pursue her career: she records songs, shoots videos. In 2011, together with Dmitry Dyuzhev, she starred in the film "Pregnant".

Tatyana Naynik, 39 years old

Tatyana replaced Nadezhda Granovskaya in the group when she was on maternity leave, and managed to star in only two videos: “Stop! Stop! Stop!" and "Good morning, dad!". After leaving Viagra, Tatyana organized the Maybe group, which, however, did not achieve success and quickly broke up. For some time, Nainik worked as a model, and then misfortunes befell her family one after another: first Tatyana's father died, then her beloved dog died, after that the girl was attacked by hooligans and, in addition, her mother was diagnosed with cancer. Tatyana's psyche could not withstand so many terrible shocks:

“I was seized with an all-consuming fear. I huddled in convulsions on the floor, my body was on fire. I screamed, wheezed, cried ... "

The girl was taken to the hospital in an ambulance, where she was diagnosed with an anxiety-depressive disorder, accompanied by panic attacks and convulsions. The treatment lasted more than 7 years, and in order to pay for it, Tatyana had to sell her jewelry and two apartments.

In 2014, Nainik married actor Alexander Terekhov, the son of Margarita Terekhova. In 2015, their daughter Vera was born. Now Tatyana is engaged in her upbringing.

Vera Brezhneva, 35 years old

When Vera Brezhneva was still at school, no one could have imagined that this shy girl with glasses would someday become a pop star and a sex symbol. And Vera herself did not dream of a stage at all; after graduating from school, she entered the Faculty of Economics and hoped to become an accountant. Somehow, fate brought her to a concert of the Viagra group, where the girl responded to the call of the soloists to sing along with them on stage. The producers liked Vera's performance, in addition, they were just looking for a replacement for Alena Vinnitskaya, who was leaving the team, so the blonde from Dnepropetrovsk was invited to the casting. So Vera got into the group and, along with Anna Sedokova and Nadezhda Granovskaya, entered the so-called “golden composition” of Viagra. According to producer Dmitry Kostyuk, Vera was the most accommodating of the soloists of the group and meekly endured all the hardships of touring life.

In 2007, Vera left the group and took up a solo career, which is developing very successfully. She recorded several popular songs and also acted in films.

Vera has two daughters born in two marriages: 17-year-old Sonya and 8-year-old Sarah. In October 2015, Vera's wedding with producer Konstantin Meladze took place in Italy.

Svetlana Loboda, 35 years old

Svetlana Loboda was taken into the group when Anna Sedokova left it. Fans took the newcomer with hostility, she was not too similar to Sedokova. In addition, Svetlana had disagreements with the producers, therefore, without having worked at Viagra for a year, she left the team. This did not stop her from making a fairly successful solo career, and recently Svetlana was declared the "Singer of the Year" in Russia.

Svetlana's personal life did not work out. The marriage with Andrei Tsar broke up, but his daughter Evangelina remained from him. On this moment the singer devotes all her time to her upbringing and creativity.

Albina Dzhanabaeva, 38 years old

Albina Dzhanabaeva was the permanent soloist of Viagra for 8 years: from 2004 to 2012, until the closing of the group. Even before joining the team, Albina gave birth to a son, Konstantin. For a long time she hid the name of the father of the child, but, in the end, it became known that he was Valery Meladze, who was married at that time.

In 2014, Meladze divorced his wife Inna and married Albina. They had a second son, who was named Luke. Albina devotes a lot of time to her family and children, but at the same time she does not forget about her career. She records songs, shoots videos, and also plays a role in the "Bad Habits" entreprise.

Olga Koryagina (Romanovskaya), 31 years old

Olga joined the project in 2006. She starred in the videos “Flower and Knife” and “L.M.L.”, and then left the band due to changes in her personal life. The girl married businessman Andrei Romanovsky and gave birth to two sons. In the first years of family life, Olga devoted herself entirely to household chores and raising children. She leads healthy lifestyle life, engaged in boxing and pole dancing. The ex-soloist of Viagra also passed on her love for sports to her sons.

In 2016, Olga tried herself as the host of the Revizorro program, but she worked in it for only a few months. Then she became one of the soloists of the Queens group, which was organized by the former soloists of Viagra, but soon left her.

Meseda Bagaudinova, 34 years old

Meseda came to the team to replace Olga Romanovskaya, but after 1.5 years she was forced to leave it due to the return of Nadezhda Granovskaya, since there can’t be two blacks in the group. Meseda tried to make a solo career, but did not achieve much success. In 2011, she married a businessman named Alan, gave birth to a son a year later, and divorced her husband in 2015.

Recently, Meseda has become very similar to Angelina Jolie. Fans suspect that she has increased her lips.

Tatyana Kotova managed to become famous even before she joined the project: in 2006 she was awarded the title of Miss Russia, Tatyana also took part in the Miss Universe and Miss World contests. She got into Viagra after the departure of Vera Brezhneva and immediately fit into the team, but after 2 years, unexpectedly for everyone, she announced her departure and began performing solo.

In 2016, Tatyana joined the Queens group, which was organized by the ex-soloists of the Viagra group, but soon left it.

In 2003, another "epoch" is formed, the composition, which is called the "Golden composition". Indeed, such a definition in relation to Nadezhda, Anna and Vera is fully justified. This year is becoming very fruitful in terms of creativity of the team. The group began active rehearsals with Vera, and Anna Sedokova also starred in Valery Meladze's video for the song "I Can't Live Without You." A video clip is being shot for the single "Don't leave me, darling!", which is considered one of the best singles in the history of the group. On April 14, the band's second album, Stop! Taken!" The band's second studio album is more likely to be called a maxi-single, since there are more remixes than the songs themselves, and the songs themselves were for the most part already known by the time the album was released. This is the only Russian-language album of the group, for which already released songs were covered by a new line-up. Over 500,000 copies of the album were sold in the first 6 months. In the summer, the video "Kill my girlfriend" appears. The group reaches the pinnacle of fame. She is already ready to conquer the countries of Europe and Asia with her work. The English-language video “Stop! Stop! Stop!”, as well as the English-language album of the band with the same name under the pseudonym “Nu Virgos” (translated as “Naked Maidens”). The first release took place in Japan. "VIA Gra" like a hurricane sweeps across the country rising sun, performing in Tokyo, taking part in various programs on the channel "MTV Asia" and "Fuji TV". Shooting for the Japanese magazine Playboy. In the autumn of the same year, the album "Biology" was released. A duet is being formed - VIA Gra and Valery Meladze. Collaboration for the end of 2003 - the beginning of 2004, which bore fruit in the form of the songs "Ocean and Three Rivers" and "There is No More Attraction", as well as the video clips shot on them. Everything developed rapidly, "VIA Gra" put forward more and more new singles and video clips. 2004-2005 In 2004, due to pregnancy, 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 not equivalent. June 4, 2004 VIA Gra wins the Muz-TV 2004 award. A video clip for the single "Biology" is being shot, which caused a rather mixed reaction among the audience. Nevertheless, Svetlana is “not accepted” by fans, who immediately draw analogies between her and Anna Sedokova, as well as criticizing her behavior. The group continues to perform in various television programs ah, in particular in "Total Show", as well as in the third musical with his participation, which is called " Sorochinskaya Fair". Later, the song from this musical is released as a full-fledged single from one of the group's albums. At the same time former soloist group Anna Sedokova gives several interviews in which she speaks very impartially about new soloist- Svetlana. In the same year, the pan-European release of the album Stop! Stop! Stop! 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, as it turns out later, has a child in common with him, who got into the group on his recommendation. The group receives an award at the RMA-04 ceremony for the song "There is no more attraction" performed with Valery Meladze. The clip "The World I Didn't Know Before You" is released. 2005 began with trouble. Vera Brezhneva, skiing, suffered a spinal injury. However, Vera had no complications. Another duet work appears on public display - with the TNMK rap team, popular in Ukraine. The clip is called "There is nothing worse." As before, there are programs with the participation of VIA Gra. For example, the “Rally” with Vera, “Saturday Evening”, “Full Contact”, shown on Channel One, on which the group “Brilliant”, “Big Premiere” and many, many others were defeated with a huge margin in the musical battle. "VIA Gra" continues to excite funds mass media: shooting in the magazines "Maxim", "7 days", publications in the "Hammer" and " Komsomolskaya Pravda».

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 creative career artistes.

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 from the first line-up and ending with the last one. Nadezhda Granovskaya periodically left the group - either because of pregnancy, or because of complex 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.

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

Nadezhda Granovskaya immediately sent her photographs to Moscow and - to her joy - became the 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 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 Kyiv 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 continued to display photos of Anna Sedakova, despite the fact that the girl was replaced by new member- Svetlana Loboda.

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 on anniversary concert group "VIA Gra" 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 clips for her own songs, took part in the show " glacial period”And won the title of“ The Sexiest Woman ”of Russia.

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.

busy life 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 once a girl made an incredible amount 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 perfectly visible on Svetlana's face: enlarged lips, rhinoplasty - braces in this early age turned her into a victim of plastic surgery.

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.

"The history of the VIA Gra group is vast and multifaceted, it includes many events that in one way or another influenced the fate of this musical group.

Over time, the release of new songs and albums, the appearance of unusual video clips, participation in the filming of various television programs and magazines, the VIA Gra group continues to steadily move up, improving itself and improving the quality of its work, adding more and more new strokes to it.

Each subsequent action of the collective is not like the previous one, it has a certain palette of emotions and feelings, thoughts and impressions that are unique to VIA Gre and allow it to differ from most other post-Soviet pop groups working in a similar musical genre.
However, VIA Gra did not reach its current heights immediately. As you know, the path to the heights is never smooth, there are many flaws and twists of fate on it, which in an instant can cross out all efforts and efforts. It is worth noting that in the history of the group there are no failures of a global scale, only changes in the composition of the participants, which entailed a “change of generations” and left their own unique mark on the life of the team. Therefore, we will try to talk about the main events that have occurred since the founding of the group and which continue to occur today.
What will happen next - it will be possible to find out only over time, but for now we can only analyze what has already happened - the history of the VIA Gra group in all its manifestations. Of course, you should start from the very beginning - the birth of the group, which happened in 2000. On music stage something new, unusual, capable of attracting the attention of the listener with its novelty and difference from others was lacking. We needed a team capable of equally successfully winning the hearts of the most versatile public, which could surprise with something new, create positive mood and, at the same time, awakening in a person a variety of spiritual and lyrical feelings.

The idea of ​​​​creating such a project came up with the future producer - Dmitry Kostyuk. The starting line-up of the group, the very one from which it all began, was 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.

This was followed by a casting, which Nadia brilliantly passed and the producers did not have the slightest doubt that she was needed in a pair with Alena. It remained to come up with a name for the new team. "VIA Gra" - this is how this project was named. 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 language how is 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. It is not known for certain how the name of the group is deciphered. Yes, it does not matter, everyone can see in the title what he likes.

So, the group was named, formed and ready to start its creative activity. The first step on the way to the current heights was the band's debut video, which marked the beginning of a triumphant march up the ladder of fame. The video was made for the song "Attempt No. 5". Its first show took place on September 3, 2000 on the Biz-TV channel. After that, interest in the group began to grow sharply, it was necessary to expand the repertoire to enter new positions. "Attempt No. 5" made a splash, immediately became a kind of "calling card" of the band, it was replicated on pirated discs, it occupied the top positions of various music charts, immediately fighting on equal terms with the hits of that time. When compiling collections of the best songs, the compilers also did not ignore the debut work of the VIA Gra group. The song "Attempt #5" was included in music collections radio "Hit FM", "Auto Hit", " Greatest Hits Biz-TV" and many others. For the video itself, "VIA Gra" became the winner of the "Golden Weight" award. For example, in 2001, on November 18, the team won the Golden Gramophone award for the same Attempt No. 5. As an example, even these two awards are enough to understand that the group's debut was a success. The composition leaves its mark on the team to this day - it is regularly performed during concert performances, continuing to remind listeners of those times when everything was just beginning. Not stopping there, instantly consolidating success, the second video clip appears, filmed for the song "Hug Me". Together with Attempt No. 5, he provides the group with a springboard, one might say - the ground under their feet, for further actions.

Throughout the year 2000, the group forms its repertoire and by mid-December it includes seven songs. It's time to organize your own concerts. The debut is a performance in Dnepropetrovsk, on the stage of the local " ice palace”, which took place on December 20, 2000. The concert was attended by about four thousand spectators.
Having made a very bright debut, demonstrating part of its huge potential, in 2001 the VIA Gra group carried out more versatile activities, having everything most fans. She is invited to participate in awards, concert programs, filming in authoritative media publications. The video sequence is replenished with two more clips - “I will not return” and “Bomb”. The rapid breakthrough of 2000, from which VIA Gra started, is coming to an end, it is gradually moving into a rational advancement, covering more and more new areas of activity in which a musical project may be affected.

The group receives nationwide fame and popularity.
In the period from the beginning of spring to the end of summer, the team receives various awards, including a prize from Hit FM radio, as part of the One Stop Hit ceremony; "Golden Feather" at the ceremony "Golden Firebird", in the nominations " Best Song"And" Discovery of the Year ", as well as" Golden Kettlebell "and" Golden Gramophone ", received by the group for the first hit -" Attempt No. 5 ".

The group took part in the filming of the musical "The Night Before Christmas".

On August 31, 2001, VIA Gra signed a contract with Sony Music for the release of five albums. At the same time, the band continued to tour successfully with their solo concerts for the CIS countries.

The following year, 2002, the VIA Gra group was shocked by some changes. Has begun new stage in its evolutionary development. 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 composition of the participants to three people which was successfully done. The group invited the ex-TV presenter Anna Sedokova, who worked on the channels O-TV and " New channel", 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 right direction and the fact that Anna Sedokova was in the group was extremely beneficial.

May 23 in Moscow concert hall"Russia" group was awarded the "Ovation" award. There was no point in stopping at the taken lines, everyone was looking forward to continuing.

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. The team continues to successfully act in various television programs, for example, in "The Domino Principle" and "Total Show". Earlier, on the MTV channel alone, VIA Gra took part in the programs VIP Caprice, Banzai!, 12 Evil Spectators, Stilissimo, and Paparazzi. It is impossible not to mention the participation in the second musical in a row - Cinderella, in which the participants played three princesses, sang along with Verka Serduchka.

In 2003, again, there were changes. Alena Vinnitskaya decided to start her own solo career. Accordingly, again casting, painful elections, as a result of which Vera Brezhneva gets into the group. 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!"

Events continue to pour in as if from a cornucopia.
In the summer, the video "Kill my girlfriend" appears. The group reaches the pinnacle of fame, where it remains to this day. She is already ready to conquer the countries of Europe and Asia with her work. The English-language video “Stop! Stop! Stop!", as well as an English-language album of the band with the same name. The first release took place in Japan. "VIA Gra" like a hurricane sweeps through the land of the rising sun, performing in Tokyo, taking part in various programs on the channel "MTV Asia" and "Fuji TV". Shooting for the Japanese magazine "Play Boy". In the autumn of the same year, the album "Biology" was released. A magnificent duet is being formed - VIA Gra and Valery Meladze. Collaboration, for the end of 2003 - the beginning of 2004, which bore fruit in the form of the songs "Ocean and Three Rivers" and "There is No More Attraction", as well as the video clips shot on them.

Everything developed rapidly, "VIA Gra" put on the court more and more new masterpieces. And then an event happened that plunged the ranks of fans into a slight shock.

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. The group continues to perform in various television programs, in particular in the "Total Show", as well as in the third musical with its participation, which is called "Sorochinsky Fair". By the way, this musical also gave birth to one of the group's potential hits, "Oh, pure water spoke," which conveys a unique Ukrainian flavor during Russian performances.
In the same year, the pan-European release of the album “Stop! Stop! Stop! 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. In this composition, Vera, Nadezhda, Albina, the team is still working.
The current line-up, like the previous ones, started very abruptly, immediately receiving an award at the RMA-04 ceremony for the song “There is no more attraction”, performed with Valery Meladze. A magnificent, soulful clip "The world that I did not know about before you" comes out.

2005 began with trouble. Vera Brezhneva, skiing, suffered a spinal injury. The fears of the fans, fortunately, did not materialize. Vera had no complications. Another duet work appears on public display - with the TNMK rap team, popular in Ukraine. The clip is called "There is nothing worse than being like everyone else." As before, there are programs with the participation of VIA Gra. For example, “Rally” with Vera, “On Saturday Night”, “Full Contact”, shown on ORT in 2005, on which the group “Brilliant”, Big Premiere” and many, many others were defeated with a huge margin in the musical battle. "VIA Gra" continues to excite the media: filming in the magazines "Maxim", "7 Days", publications in "Hammer" and "Komsomolskaya Pravda". The list is regularly updated, so it is not necessary to list everything. We can safely say one thing - the VIA Gra group is a kind of phenomenon that has a lot of positive aspects that distinguish it from other musical groups. She is able to conquer new heights, to amaze and amaze with her novelty. AT creative plans there are still a lot of ideas and ideas, so we can safely say that the next pages of the band's history will be no worse than the previous ones.
There is no limit to perfection."

2002
The Year of the Horse for the sexiest team in the entire post-Soviet space has become a year big changes and transformations. In the spring, the duet turned into a trio. The impetus for the changes in the composition was the desire of Nadezhda Granovskaya to become a mother and temporarily leave the group. To fill the vacancy that appeared, the producers of the team - Dmitry Kostyuk and Konstantin Meladze - arranged a tough selection of applicants, as a result of which two reached the final: ex-TV presenter Anya and St. Petersburg model Tanya.
