In 2003, the next “era” was formed, a composition called the “Golden composition”. Indeed, such a definition in relation to Nadezhda, Anna and Vera is quite reasonable. This year is becoming very fruitful in terms of the team’s creativity. The group began active rehearsals with Vera, and Anna Sedokova also starred in leading role in Valery Meladze’s video for the song “I can’t live without you.” A video clip is being filmed for the single “Don’t leave me, darling!”, which is considered one of best singles throughout the history of the group. On April 14, the group’s second album, “Stop! Removed! Second studio album The group can rather be called a maxi-single, since there are more remixes than the songs themselves, and the songs themselves, for the most part, were 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 lineup. In the first 6 months, over 500,000 copies of the album were sold. 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 creativity.

Filming for the Japanese magazine “Playboy” is underway. In the fall of the same year, the album “Biology” was released. A duet is being formed - “VIA Gra” and Valery Meladze. Collaborative work at the end of 2003 - beginning of 2004, which bore fruit in the form of the songs “Ocean and Three Rivers” and “There is No More Gravity,” as well as video clips shot on them. Everything developed rapidly, VIA Gra presented more and more new singles and video clips. 2004-2005 In 2004, due to pregnancy, Anna Sedokova leaves the group. They urgently look for a replacement for her, who 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 filmed, which caused a rather mixed reaction among viewers. Still, Svetlana is not “accepted” by fans, who immediately draw analogies between her and Anna Sedokova, and also criticize her behavior. The group continues to perform in various television programs, in particular in “Total Show”, as well as in the third musical with his participation, called “Sorochinskaya Fair”. Later, a song from this musical is released as a full-fledged single on one of the group's albums. At the same time, the former lead singer of the group, Anna Sedokova, gives several interviews in which she speaks very unflatteringly about the new lead singer, Svetlana. The same year saw the pan-European release of the album Stop! Stop! Stop!. Despite this, slight dissatisfaction with Svetlana grew and the decision was made to break up with her. Svetlana is currently studying solo career. Albina Dzhanabaeva is taken to replace Loboda, for a long time who worked as backing vocals for Valery Meladze and, as it later turns out, had an affair with him common child, who was included in 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 video “The World I Didn’t Know About Before You” is released. The year 2005 started with trouble. Vera Brezhneva suffered a spinal injury while skiing. However, Vera had no complications. Another duet work is being presented to the public - with the popular rap team “TNMK” in Ukraine. The clip is called “There is nothing worse.” As before, programs featuring “ VIA Gra" For example, “Raffle” with Vera, shown on Channel One, “Saturday Evening”, “Full Contact”, in which the group “Brilliant”, “Big Premiere” and many, many others were defeated with a huge advantage in the musical battle. "VIA Gra" continues to excite funds mass media: filming in the magazines “Maxim”, “7 days”, publications in “Molotok” and “Komsomolskaya Pravda”.

Surprisingly, the latest lineup of the VIA-Gra group lasted the longest in the history of the female band. The lineup of Misha Romanova, Anastasia Kozhevnikova and Erica Hertz lasted together for more than five years. But recently information appeared on the Internet that the lead singer of the group decided to leave it.

Misha Romanova (real name Natalya Mogilyanets) is finally leaving the female pop group VIA-Gra, but the producers have already managed to find a replacement for her.

Misha Romanova made an official statement that she is indeed no longer the lead singer of the group “VIA-Gra”, and a replacement has already been found for her, however, the lineup has not been updated on the group’s website, and fans are confused and eager to find out who is new member.

Back in 2014, the media reported that there was a conflict among the girls in the team, despite the fact that Misha Romanova was quarreling with Nastya and Erica, that is, both participants were negatively disposed towards the girl.

But despite all this, the group’s producer denied all this news, telling the media that the girls are friends not only at work, but also in life, and there can be no conflicts between them.

Apparently, these were really just rumors, because in 5 years collaboration the general public was not aware of a single scandal among the members of the pop group.

New soloist of Viagra instead of Misha: the reason for Romanova’s departure

Fans of the female pop group were stunned by the news of Romanova's departure. There are many versions about Misha’s departure, but the girl herself said on her Instagram that she has changed her priorities in life, and now love comes first for her, which is why she is leaving the team.

“The most important calling of a woman is love. And sometimes she needs a firm decision. For some time, the artist in me gave in to the woman... Therefore, I am leaving the group, but leaving a piece of my soul in it,” the girl wrote.

"Those were years filled with beautiful music a brilliant person, adored producer Konstantin Meladze. Thank you, Kostya, for this chance, for your faith and support, for the wonderful songs that warm the hearts of many listeners! Erica and Nastya, we were a team, one whole, I will miss you very, very much! This page from life will forever remain in my memory,” she concluded.

But fans are sure that Romanovskaya simply decided to pursue her solo career, since it was for this reason that all the ex-members of VIA-Gra left.

New soloist of Viagra instead of Misha: who's new

Information appeared in the media that a replacement had already been found for Romanova and VIA-Gra would not turn into a dupe. New soloist Olga Meganskaya from St. Petersburg became Via-Gry.

VIA-Gra fans learned about this the day before yesterday at the group’s concert at Casino Iveria at the Republic center in Tbilisi (Georgia). Instead of Misha, a new girl appeared on the stage.

It is known that in the near future “VIA-Gra” will perform with a new line-up: on March 30 in Moscow, and on March 31 in Kyiv at the Alaska restaurant.

Misha Romanova

Erica Herceg

Unlike Misha, Erica did not seriously prepare for a career as an artist, and certainly did not expect that she would have to conquer Russian show business. A girl with Hungarian and Ukrainian roots, she grew up in a village almost on the very border of Ukraine and Hungary, did not speak Russian at all, and in her youth weighed more than 80 kilograms! But if anyone thinks that she is unlucky in some way, then it’s not Erica.

I think everything was great for me. I just wanted more.

Six years ago, Erica told herself: “Enough!” And she began to “sculpt” a new herself. She went on a diet, thanks to which she lost more than 30 kilograms, and after graduating from college in Hungary, she moved to Kyiv and became a model. Three years ago, Erica began learning Russian, which she now speaks almost fluently. And although he speaks it with a noticeable accent, he is in no hurry to get rid of it.

This is my personality. If I remove the accent, it will no longer be Erica Herceg.

By the way, today Erica is the only soloist of the group whose heart is not free. For two years she has been dating a businessman, whose name she keeps secret. According to the girl, after winning the show “I Want V VIA Gru,” she sees her chosen one extremely rarely, but hopes for understanding on his part. Be that as it may, despite her feelings for her beloved, Eric is not going to leave the team.

I believe that VIA Gra is my destiny.

Anastasia Kozhevnikova

Anastasia's "romance" with music began in early childhood. She grew up in musical family, there was a piano at home. At the age of six, Nastya began singing in a children's choir, and at the age of eight she began performing solo. Before getting into the project “I Want V VIA Gro”, Nastya managed to take part in a large number of competitions - both regional and national, however great success didn't achieve it. She had almost given up hope of becoming a singer and entered university to major in management. But her mother, who always believed in her daughter’s abilities and accompanied her to all competitions, convinced her to try her hand again. Nastya went to the show not really expecting to win; according to her, she was ready to be rejected, and the most important thing for her was to hear the opinion of the group’s producer, Konstantin Meladze. But it turned out that she ended up in the final three and became one of the winners. Now Nastya, who, by her own admission, was a kind of “tomboy” in childhood and was always friends with boys, is getting used to her new status as a Russian-Ukrainian “sex symbol” and enjoying the new stage of her life. Nastya considers even the fact that she has almost no free time to be a plus and admits:

VIA Gra" is not a job, it's my life!

New formula"VIA Gra": the group's soloists about themselves and theirs career path

Six months ago, the show “I Want V VIA Gro” ended, the winners of which - Misha Romanova, Erica Herceg and Anastasia Kozhevnikova - became the new soloists of the popular group. HELLO! talked to the girls and found out how their lives changed after the project and why they consider themselves modern Cinderellas.

New composition of "VIA Gra"

Passion and sexuality - these words instantly come to mind when talking about the VIA Gra group. And not only because the name of the group is consonant with the name of the drug for increasing male potency: all 13 soloists who changed over the 13 years of the group’s existence - as if by choice, smart and beautiful - were called upon to become the object of not only male, but also universal adoration .

In the 2000s, interest in his team music producer- composer Konstantin Meladze - was phenomenal, even despite the frequent changes of participants. Having received the starting “capital” of fame in the group, the girls either went to solo swimming, or got married and had children, sometimes combining both. Over time, VIA Gra turned into a kind of “star factory” for performers, through which Anna Sedokova, Vera Brezhneva, and Albina Dzhanabaeva once passed through, and the status of the ex-soloist of VIA Gra became something of a mark of quality .

And yet, at the end of 2012, after several years of leapfrogs with soloists who could not repeat the success of the “golden” composition of the group - Vera Brezhneva, Anna Sedokova and Nadezhda Granovskaya, Konstantin Meladze announced the dissolution of the group.

Konstantin Meladze announced the launch of the musical television show “I Want V VIA Gra”, the winners of which will become new participants in the new “VIA Gra”. The multi-stage telecasting ended in October last year, and three girls from Ukraine received the right to perform in the group - Misha Romanova, Erica Herceg and Anastasia Kozhevnikova. With this lineup, they have already recorded their debut composition “Truce” and shot a video for it, and now they are preparing the next premiere. Speaking about their participation in the group, Misha, Erica and Nastya burst into enthusiastic exclamations. The girls, who became very friendly during the show, admit that they want to work for the benefit of the project at least for all five years stipulated by the contract. And all three are also ambitious in a good way, so full of enthusiasm that they are ready to disappear for days at rehearsals and, it seems, have not yet fully believed in what is happening to them.

Misha Romanova

Misha Romanova is sure: if you really want something, it will definitely come true. Since childhood, the girl, whose real name is Natalya Mogilevets, dreamed of becoming an artist. One serious drawback could have prevented this - she stuttered badly. As a form of therapy, doctors advised her to take up singing, and at an audition at a local cultural center, Misha was surprised to discover that she did not stutter when she sang. She started studying at vocal studio, and soon music became her passion. True, it was not possible to completely get rid of speech problems, but this does not bother Misha.

Surprisingly, I never stutter on stage.

Stubborn and purposeful, against the wishes of her parents, she decided to devote her life to music and after the ninth grade she set off to conquer Kyiv. Entered the Academy of Variety and Circus Arts, took up solo musical career, and when castings began for the show “I Want V VIA Gru”, then on the advice of a friend, Ukrainian singer and composer Max Barskikh, joined the fight for a place in the team. Today, Misha’s life, like the other two participants, consists of rehearsals, concerts, filming, dance classes and stage speech, but she is only glad for such changes - after all, she is doing what she loves. The only thing Misha is afraid of is catching star fever.

I'm afraid of losing the sincerity that I have. I want to remain human, no matter what.

Erica Herceg, 25 years old, Malaya Dobran village

In 2018 the composition legendary group « VIA Gra"Updated once again. Konstantin Meladze invited Olga Meganskaya replaced Misha Romanova, and soon began singing in the group instead of Anastasia Kozhevnika Ulyana Sinetskaya.

Generally for 18 years of existence The group featured 18 very different soloists. Some people's stay was limited to months, while others spent time in a group long years. “VIA Gra” has undergone a lot and even closed for a short time in 2012, but by some miracle the project is still alive.

Our editors invite you to remember the soloists who made history one of the most successful women's groups in the post-Soviet space.

Alena Vinnitskaya

One of the first soloists, who was at the origins of the creation of the group, stayed in the group for three years. Before her career as a singer, Alena worked on television, and after leaving VIA Gra she began solo career. Vinnitskaya was replaced by Brezhnev, but fans claim that without Alena the group has lost its charm.

Nadezhda Granovskaya

At first, the group's producer abandoned the idea of ​​a trio and limited himself to a duet. The charming Nadezhda Granovskaya sang together with Vinnitskaya in VIA Gre. In 2006, after Granovskaya left, the group almost closed.

Tatyana Naynik

Tatyana sang in VIA Gre starting in 2002, replacing Nadezhda Granovskaya, who went on maternity leave. She was counting on long-term cooperation, but two brunettes in one group did not fit into the producer’s head. Now Nainik is married and has a daughter.

Anna Sedokova

Many people remember the group solely by Sedokova. She was part of the golden trio, which also included Brezhneva and Granovskaya. Rumor has it that Anna did no less for the group than Konstantin Meladze. She left the team in 2004 due to pregnancy.

Vera Brezhneva

Vera got into the group quite by accident, performing one of the songs at the group’s concert. Brezhneva stayed in the team for 4 years, and after her departure in 2007, the group was predicted to fail. In 2015, Vera secretly married Konstantin Meladze.

Svetlana Loboda

Svetlana joined the group in 2004 to replace Sedokova, but there was no full replacement. Loboda was criticized for overly provocative behavior, so the singer stayed at VIA Gre for only 4 months.

Albina Dzhanabaeva

A kind of record holder, Albina stayed in the group longer than any other soloist - 8 years. Now she is known not only as a successful singer, but also as the lover of Valery Meladze.

Christina Kotz-Gottlieb

The participant and winner of beauty contests stayed in the group from January to April 2006. Christina “didn’t fit in” with the team and after a short stay at VIA Gre she continued her modeling career.

Olga Koryagina

The singer stayed in the team for two years. Ironically, Koryagina, who replaced Granovskaya, who had again gone on maternity leave, herself left the group due to pregnancy.

Meseda Bagaudinova

After Vera Brezhneva left, Meseda sang for some time in a duet with Dzhanabaeva. It sounds like the plot of a soap opera, but in 2009 Granovskaya returned to the team for the third time, replacing a native of Grozny...

Tatyana Kotova

After Brezhneva left, the creators of the group played big, inviting the winner of the Miss Russia 2006 contest to VIA Gro. Tatyana won the love of the public not only with her voice, but also with her luxurious forms. Some clips were not censored at all.

Eva Bushmina

Eva Bushmina, or Yana Shvets, also known by the stage name Layah, joined the group in 2010 and stayed in VIA Gre until the fateful closure of the group in 2012.

Santa Dimopoulos

In 2011, Nadezhda Granovskaya, pregnant for the third time, was replaced by world fitness champion Santa Dimopoulos. However, less than a year later she left the group to promote her solo career.

Misha Romanova, Erica Herceg and Anastasia Kozhevnikova

Misha, Anastasia and Erica joined the group after winning the show “I Want V VIA Gro” in 2013. Now Erica is singing in the new lineup, Misha left the group on maternity leave, and Anastasia had enough of a five-year contract and went solo.

Not every pop group can boast of such a long stay in show business. In fact, VIA Gra is a fairly significant group, if not an epoch-making one. However, while the style and presentation practically did not change, there were 19 members singing in the group, so it was both different and the same.
