The Viagra project has existed for 17 years, and during this time it has included many stunningly beautiful soloists. Let's remember the brightest of them.
What happened to the former soloists of Viagra? They are all still successful and wonderful! 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 writing songs and organized her own group, “The Last Unicorn.” In 2000, Alena was invited to the musical group “Viagra”, where she sang in a duet with Nadezhda Granovskaya. After the very first video, the group became popular, but Alena chose to leave the project and start solo career.
Now Alena lives in Ukraine, gives concerts and hosts an entertainment program on television. IN personal life She’s doing well: the singer has been happily married to producer Sergei Alekseev for more than 20 years.
Nadezhda Meikher-Granovskaya, 35 years old
According to the recollections of the group's producer, 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 put together 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 steps on stage, he fills the entire space.”
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 very creative person: she studied academic vocals for three years, released a collection of poems, and also presented her original play “Historia de Un Amor” on October 1, 2017. 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 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 has been involved in music and dancing, and upon joining the group, she immediately won the hearts of its fans. However, two years later she married football player Valentin Belkevich, became pregnant and decided to leave Viagra, causing massive discontent among 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 separated.
Anna continues to be actively involved in her career: recording songs and making 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 only managed to appear in two videos: “Stop! Stop! Stop!" and “Good morning, dad!” After leaving Viagra, Tatyana organized the group Maybe, which, however, did not achieve success and quickly broke up. For some time, Naynik worked as a model, and then misfortunes befell her family one after another: first Tatyana’s father died, then her beloved dog died, after which the girl was attacked by hooligans and, in addition, her mother was diagnosed with cancer. Tatiana’s psyche could not withstand so many terrible shocks:
“I was overcome with overwhelming fear. I convulsed on the floor, my body felt like it was on fire. I screamed, wheezed, cried..."
The girl was taken by ambulance to the hospital, where she was diagnosed with anxiety-depressive disorder, accompanied by panic attacks and cramps. 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, Naynik married actor Alexander Terekhov, the son of Margarita Terekhova. In 2015, their daughter Vera was born. Now Tatyana is raising her.
Vera Brezhneva, 35 years old
When Vera Brezhneva was still in school, no one could have thought that this shy girl with glasses would someday become a pop star and sex symbol. And Vera herself did not dream of the 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 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 flexible of the group’s soloists and resignedly endured all the hardships of touring life.
In 2007, Vera left the group and began 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. Fans were hostile to the new girl; she was too different from Sedokov. In addition, Svetlana had disagreements with the producers, so, without working at Viagra for even a year, she left the team. This did not stop her from making a fairly successful solo career, and Svetlana was recently declared “Singer of the Year” in Russia.
Svetlana’s personal life did not work out. The marriage with Andrew the Tsar broke up, but he left behind his daughter Evangelina. 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 closure of the group. Even before she joined the team, Albina gave birth to a son, Konstantin.

In 2014, Meladze divorced his wife Inna and married Albina. They had a second son, who was named Luka. Albina devotes a lot of time to her family and children, but at the same time does not forget about her career. She records songs, shoots videos, and also plays a role in the enterprise “Bad Habits.”
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 team due to changes in her personal life. The girl married businessman Andrei Romanovsky and gave birth to two sons. In the early years family life Olga devoted herself entirely to household chores and raising children. She leads healthy image life, practices boxing and pole dancing. The ex-soloist of Viagra passed on her love of sports to her sons.
In 2016, Olga tried herself as a host of the “Revizorro” program, but worked in it for only a few months. Then she became one of the lead singers of the Queens group, which was organized former soloists"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 cannot be two “darkies” 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.
IN Lately Meseda became very similar to Angelina Jolie. Fans suspect that she has enlarged her lips.
Tatyana Kotova managed to become famous even before she joined the project: in 2006 she was awarded the title “Miss Russia”, Tatyana also took part in the “Miss Universe” and “Miss World” competitions. She got into Viagra after Vera Brezhneva left and immediately fit into the team, but after 2 years, unexpectedly for everyone, she announced her departure and began performing solo.

When the girl turned five, the family decided to have a second child. The birth was very difficult, which adversely affected the health of Erica's mother. Concerns about the well-being of the family and raising young children fell entirely on the shoulders of Nikolai, the father of the family. Erica went to a Hungarian school, where she studied Ukrainian only two hours a week. Every day, to do this, she went 12 kilometers from home and crossed the border. When the rules for crossing country borders became stricter, the girl had to change schools.

Misha Romanova is a stage name that the girl came up with in memory of the two men she once loved. The girl studied at secondary school and often suffered from bullying by peers.

ALL COMPOSITIONS OF THE VIAGRA GROUP
History of the popular women's team Viagra group started counting on September 3, 2000. It was then that the premiere took place on the air of the Ukrainian television company “Biz-TV” debut video“Attempt No. 5,” which instantly flew to the top positions of the main charts. After this, the group experienced rapid ups and downs more than once, changed its lineup several times, its soloists began successful solo careers and gave birth to children. But despite this, the popularity of Viagra did not decrease.
In 1999, Ukrainian businessman and owner of the Biz-TV channel Vladimir Kostyuk, inspired by the success of the Russian “Brilliant” and Western “Spice Girls”, decided to launch a similar Ukrainian project. For the role music producer he called Konstantin Meladze. One of the first approved soloists was Alena Vinnitskaya, who had previously worked as a presenter on Biz-TV. Thanks to the casting, Meladze and Kostyuk found two more girls: Marina Modina and Yulia Miroshnichenko. But in the process of working on “Attempt No. 5,” it was decided to leave Alena alone and freeze the project for a while, continuing the search for suitable soloists.
When Nadezhda Granovskaya appeared on the horizon, it was decided to retrain the trio into a duet, in which Vinnitskaya got the role of the leading soloist. Initially the group was to be called "Silver". There are several versions about where the name “Viagra” came from. According to one of them, VIA is a vocal-instrumental ensemble, “gra” in Ukrainian means game. Some believe that “Viagra” is a derivative of the surnames and names of vocalists (Vi-Vinnitskaya, A-Alena, Gra-Granovskaya). But the first thing that comes to mind when hearing the word “Viagra” is a famous drug that increases male potency. By the way, bringing out the team V.I.A. "Gra" to the English-language music market, Sony Music management received a pre-trial claim from the tablet manufacturers. Therefore, in the West the group is known under the pseudonym Nu Virgos.
Initially, critics considered Viagra a one-hit wonder and predicted its short-lived fame. But the next one after "Attempt No. 5" dance composition“Hug Me” increased the interest around the group even more. Girls began to be invited to interviews and concerts. By the end of 2000, their repertoire already included seven songs. First solo concert team took place on the stage of the Ice Palace in Dnepropetrovsk on December 20. It was attended by 4 thousand spectators.
During its work, the group changed 16 lineups. Almost all former soloists connected their lives with show business and were able to build successful careers.

Almost immediately after graduating from school, I met my future husband, who at that time performed in the group “Seven”. Over time, they together changed the name of the group to “The Last Unicorn”, where Vinnitskaya became the author of the music and lyrics of the songs they performed.
From 1997 to 2000, Vinnitskaya successfully combined the professions of a VJ and reporter on music television channels and a DJ on radio stations. On Biz-TV she hosted the Ukrainian Twenty, which was also broadcast on the Russian MTV. It was there that she met Kostyuk, who invited her to the Viagra group. With Alena’s participation, they shot 6 videos, released a debut album, starred in two musicals and recorded several non-album songs.
On January 20, 2003, the girl left the group and began a solo career, performing pop-rock compositions. Among the notable works in this field, it is worth highlighting the compositions “Let's Forget Everything,” which became a shock hit on all Ukrainian charts, and the single “Tormented Heart,” which made it possible to feel the full depth of Alena’s original lyrics.

In the same year, she received a law degree, but decided to connect her life with creativity.
Her first group was the Ukrainian group “Seventh Heaven”, followed by participation in the third Ukrainian Star Factory. In December 2011, she took the place of the newly departed Nadezhda Granovskaya in the Viagra group, but already in early October 2012 she decided to pursue a solo career.

Anastasia was born in Yuzhnoukrainsk on March 26, 1993. IN childhood she studied at a music school, sang in a choir and studied acting and choreography.
Having passed the preliminary castings for the show “I Want Viagra,” Nastya also successfully performed in the first round. A little later she seemed to be paired with Misha and Erica. Initially, Albina Dzhanabaeva acted as their mentor.
But after the girls, having cut up their concert dresses before the performance, almost flew out of the project, Granovskaya’s hope for patronage over them faded. According to the results audience voting the three won. In the final they presented new song“Truce”, which later became their calling card.
Natalya Mogilets (Misha Romanova) was born on August 3, 1990. in Kherson. At the age of 5, Natasha was very scared and began to stutter. Doctors advised sending the girl to vocal lessons, where it turned out that when she sang, the defect instantly disappeared.
So Natasha began to dream of becoming a singer and participating in various competitions. In 2007, together with Nikolai Bortnik (Max Barskikh), they came to Kyiv and passed exams at the Academy of Variety and Circus Arts.
In the same year, Natalya began her solo career under the pseudonym Misha Romanova, and in 2013 she was cast on the show “I Want V Viagra.”
Erica Herceg was born in the village of Malaya Dobron on July 5, 1988. As a child, Erika sang in a Hungarian church choir, and later entered the Faculty of Management and Economics at the Ferenc Rakoczi II Institute.

That same year, she appeared nude in the November issue of Playboy. Now he sings as part of the group Viagra.
In September 2013, Konstantin Meladze launched a new reality project “I want to join VIA Gro,” with the help of which girls could audition for the revived group. Anastasia, Misha and Erica became the winners and presented a new composition of the pop trio.
Since April 2018:
- Olya Meganskaya
Olga Meganskaya
Olga Meganskaya’s date of birth was 1992, born in the city of Yaroslavl. WITH early childhood Olya devoted herself entirely to music, loved this business and even graduated from music school, which is quite natural under the circumstances.
However higher education preferred to get as a "history teacher and in English"But Meganskaya did not stop improving herself on this, enrolling in the pop department of culture and art, which is located at Leningrad College.
Olya loves our little brothers very much, so she doesn’t eat animal meat, and naturally none at all. An ardent opponent of natural fly. Of course, he has pages on Instagram and VK. Before becoming the new lead singer of the Viagra group, Olya tried to get into other musical projects, but not so successfully.
New composition of the Viagra group from September 2018:
- Olya Meganskaya
- Ulyana Sinetskaya
Ulyana Sinetskaya
Ulyana Sinetskaya was born in the spring of March 29, 1995, in a very small Yugorsk, which is located in the Tyumen region, its northern part. From the age of five she attended music school, and even then the girl’s parents recognized her talent for music. Then the family moved to Yekaterinburg, where Ulyana continued to devote herself entirely to creativity.
Since 2014, the aspiring singer began career. Participation in the show "The Voice", getting into the project " New Factory stars", was in the team "CASH" and now has become a member of the group "Viagra". From the first days, work in the group began to boil - photo sessions of all the soloists, recording of new tracks, which promise to be amazing according to the producer of the pop trio.
So, young age, the girl is only 23 years old, is not a hindrance for a new soloist, Ulyana Sinetskaya started her work right off the bat, we are waiting for her success.
Hits of the group "Viagra"
Since the successful start of the project, thanks to the compositions “Attempt No. 5”, “Bomb”, “I will not return”, the group has managed to record six studio albums:
- In 2001 - “Attempt No. 5”;
- In 2003 - “Stop! Removed” (Russian and Japanese edition);
- In 2003 - “Biology”;
- In 2004 - “Stop! Stop! Stop!” (international edition);
- In 2007 - “L.M.L”.
In 2002, the group presented new videos “Stop! Stop! Stop!” and "Good morning". In the second video, fans again saw Nadezhda Granovskaya, who had previously left the group, which led to a new surge in the popularity of Viagra.
In February 2003, a video for “Don’t Leave Me, Darling” was released. The composition reached the top of many charts and is still considered one of the best in the history of the group. This was the time of the “golden lineup” and its successful duets with Valery Meladze. Hits were released one after another: “Ocean and Three Rivers”, “No More Attraction”, “Kill My Girlfriend”, “Diamonds”.
Then the team began to storm. The "Golden Squad" broke up. The participants constantly replaced each other. But the compositions “Flower and Knife” recorded with Olga Koryakina, “Kisses” - with Meseda Bagaudinova, “Antigeisha”, “Crazy” - with Tatyana Kotova, “A Day Without You”, “Get Out”, “Hello, Mom!” -with Eva Bushmina they did not allow the group to lose their status as the sexiest pop trio on the Russian stage.
The new composition of Viagra, like most of the previous ones, has been criticized more than once. Many were sure that the success of the previous participants could not be repeated. Despite this, the group confidently wins high places on the charts, receives music awards, and their songs “Truce”, “Oxygen”, “I got someone else”, “So much” do not cease to be rotated on radio stations. Over time, the group's repertoire included 17 past hits with changed arrangements.
The VIA Gra group is a real pop phenomenon. Its composition is constantly changing (in 17 years, 16 girls have appeared in the team), but this does not diminish its popularity!
In the initial cast of VIA Gra there were only two girls: blonde Alena and brunette Nadya.
Alena Vinnitskaya was the first to leave the group. According to the singer herself, she has outgrown the level girl group and decided to take up more serious music.
However, the skills to seduce men have not gone away. From time to time, Alena pampers her fans by publishing very racy pictures on Instagram.
Although now Nadezhda has nothing to do with VIA Groy, she still attracts the gaze of men like a magnet.
In April 2002, Nadezhda became pregnant and was forced to leave the team for a while. It was then that VIA Gra turned into a trio - red-haired Anna Sedokova appeared in the group.
It’s not without reason that Anna Sedokova is considered a member of the group’s “golden lineup”; pictures from her Instagram confirm this.
The pregnant Nadya herself was temporarily replaced by Tatyana Naynik. Although Tanya stayed in the group for only a few months, she managed to be remembered by fans thanks to the video for the song “Stop! Stop! Stop!".
Tatyana's Instagram is dominated by family photos, and piquant pictures appear only as rare exceptions.
In 2003, Vera Brezhneva replaced Alena Vinnitskaya at VIA Gro. Perhaps it was she who became the most famous of all the members of this group.
After 4 years, Vera left the group and successfully pursued a solo career. However, her name is still associated with VIA Groi.
In 2004, Sedokova was replaced by Svetlana Loboda. She was unable to settle into the group and stayed there for only 4 months.
But Svetlana’s solo career turned out to be mega-successful, and now her songs are heard on all radio stations.
The next redhead was Albina Dzhanabaeva. A huge period of the group’s creativity is associated with her name. It's no joke, Albina stayed there for 9 years!
Fans of hot shots will find Albina's Instagram boring. Her modest image is not at all associated with that of VIA Gre.
When Nadezhda Granovskaya left the group for the second time, Christina Kots-Gottlieb took her place. The newcomer did not stay in the team and left after 3 months...
3 years after leaving VIA Gra, Christina took part in the Miss Universe 2009 competition and managed to win! On our own behalf, we will say that it is completely deserved.
Christina was replaced by Olga Koryagina. She also didn't stay long and only stayed on the team for a year.
Being part of the team was not in vain for Christina - her Instagram is very hot!
After Olga, the place of the brunette was taken by Meseda Bagaudinova.
Now Meseda is engaged in a solo career and skillfully uses social networks to attract attention.
It was not easy for Tatyana Kotova to replace everyone's favorite Vera Brezhneva, but she adequately coped with the task assigned to her.
After VIA Gra, Tanya pursued a solo career for some time, and in November 2016 she became one of the members of the Queens trio.
The fourth blonde was Eva Bushmina (her real name is Yana Shvets).
After parting with the Konstantin project, Meladze took up a solo career. For some time she performed under the familiar name Eva Bushmina, and then became the singer of LAYAH.
The last member of the pre-reform VIA Gra lineup was the sizzling brunette Santa Dimopoulos.
As befits a vamp, Santa Dimopoulos loves to drive men crazy!
At the end of 2013, the composition of VIA Gra was completely renewed. Erica Herceg, Anastasia Kozhevnikova and Misha Romanova became the new idols of millions.
The place of the new redhead went to Misha Romanova.
On her Instagram, the girl lives up to her image and regularly pampers her fans with hot pictures.
The new brunette is Anastasia Kozhevnikova.
Of the entire cast of the renewed VIA Gra, Anastasia behaves the most modestly of all.
The role of the blonde is played by the winner of the show “I Want V VIA Gru” Erica Herceg.
She is the most relaxed of the new group members!
On the eve of the airing of the 1+1 channel show “I want to go to VIA Gro!” Lady.TSN remembered all its participants for 13 years.

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 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 simply Meikher.
Tatiana Naynik. "Victim"

Tatyana Naynik
Before VIA Gra, she was 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 while she was on maternity leave. She starred in the videos "Stop! Stop! Stop!" and "Good morning, dad."
She left the group after Granovskaya returned. 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 Naynik. Today Tatyana sings in Russian group"Maybe", it was created according to the "VIA Gra" principle - sexy girls on stage in varying degrees of "undress", but the popularity of the latest "Maybe" is still very far away.
Anna Sedokova. "Slave of Love"
She grew up in a single-parent family: her father left when Anya was five years old, she and her brother were raised by their mother, a teacher. Ukrainian language, who worked day and night to provide for the children.

Anna Sedokova
Before VIA Gra, she worked as a model and was a presenter on radio and television. She took part in the first castings at VIA Gro, but did not make it through 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 duet 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 the second daughter Monica, Anna is now free again. Under the pseudonym Annabelle, she tried to start a solo career, took part in projects on Russian and Ukrainian television, and acted for men's magazines, but viewers still remember Sedokova primarily as the ex-soloist of VIA Gra.
Vera Brezhneva. Dumpling turned into sex-symbol

Vera Brezhneva
Perhaps the most striking transformation - from a doll 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 shy, “ugly” and “bespectacled”, for a short time became one of the most attractive and seductive girls on the Russian and Ukrainian stage. Vera sang in VIA Gre, intermittently, 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 “the sexiest”.
Svetlana Loboda. "At VIA Gru"– for a bet"

Svetlana Loboda
Before "VIA Gra" she sang in the groups "Cappuccino" and "Ketch", performed main party 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 style.
She became a soloist of "VIA Gra" on a bet. At stake was a red convertible, which was to become Svetlana’s property, but only if she not only got into the group, but also stayed in it for six months. I soon learned that a casting was being held for one of Konstantin Meladze’s projects. That we're talking about Loboda found out about VIA Gre when, out of five hundred applicants who competed in vocals, dance and acting, twenty remained, including her. "Mercedes wheels are in my pocket!" – Svetlana thought 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 get to bed. Then disagreements began with the producers, and Svetlana had to leave. And since she didn’t last six months, the red convertible remained a dream.
Albina Dzhanabaeva. "The second redhead"
After Anna Sedokova left, VIA Gra needed a new “red-haired” soloist, and the graduate became her music school named after the Gnessins, backing vocalist Valeria Meladze Albina Dzhanabaeva. Since the day before Albina gave birth to Valeria’s son Kostya, her invitation to VIA Gro was perceived ambiguously by many: some considered it a reward, others considered it a way to alienate her mistress, as they say, out of sight, out of mind.”

Albina Dzhanabaeva
The soloists of VIA-Gra, who had the opportunity to work with Dzhanabaeva, Tatyana Kotova and Meseda Bagaudinova, do not characterize her with the most the best side- they call her harsh and unrestrained, they claim that Albina could cause a scandal over any, even the most insignificant, reason, and took her anger out on the service staff - make-up artists, costume designers, stage workers.
She sang at VIA Gre from 2004 to 2012, and at the same time 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 start solo career Dzhanabaeva.

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,” she was fired from VIA Gra. Moreover, according to Christina herself, the producers did not even inform her about this - they simply stopped responding to phone calls.

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 (on her father's side) and Ukrainian-Belarusian (on her mother's) origin Meseda Bagaudinova. At the beginning of its musical career Meseda was a soloist of the “Dreams” 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 at VIA Gre, and was forced to leave after Nadezhda Granovskaya announced her return to the group. Bagaudinova returned to the “Dreams” group.

In 2010, the media suddenly began vying 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 this way: “We can’t admire the sun around the clock. I got my share at VIA Gre sun rays, now it's time to collect the stars. I am offered to work on television and act in films, I want to realize my Creative skills to the end, because there is no limit to perfection."

They say that in order not to “fly out” of the group, like other unlucky participants, she increased her breasts by two sizes - from one to three. 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), .
