Ukrainian pop trio “VIA Gra” is the brightest music project 2000s, the success of which could not be surpassed by any women's group, which subsequently appeared in domestic show business.

History of creation

The idea of ​​creating the group belongs to the Ukrainian businessman, owner of the Biz-TV music channel, Dmitry Kostyuk. Inspired by the success of the Spice Girls, he invited composer Konstantin Meladze, well known for creative union with his brother Valery, to launch their own women's project.

The first participant was Alena Vinnitskaya, who then worked as a presenter at Biz-TV. They picked up two more girls for her and filmed a test clip. But the result did not impress the producers, and they continued to search for new participants.


During a tour in Zhitomir, Valery Meladze met Nadezhda Granovskaya and recommended his brother to pay attention to her. The girl was approved immediately after the first viewing, and work began to boil. Initially, the group was supposed to be called “Silver”, but, looking at the sexy Nadya, the producers decided to call the group “VIA Gra”.


Another version says that the name of the group is made up of the names of the first line-up. “VI” is the first letters of the surname “Vinnitskaya”, “A” is from “Alena”, “Gra” is from Granovskaya. "Gra" can also mean "Voice, Joy, Artistry."

The main stages of creativity

In the summer of 2000, a video was shot for the song “Attempt No. 5,” which created an incredible sensation. Having recorded six more songs and filmed a video for the song “Hug Me,” the producers and band began touring.

VIA Gra – Attempt No. 5

On December 20, 2000, the first concert of the newly formed group took place in Dnepropetrovsk, which took place with resounding success. Girls began to be invited to television and radio, and their performances were invariably accompanied by an enthusiastic reaction from the public. In the fall of 2001, the group’s first album, “Attempt No. 5,” was released and a contract was signed with Sony Music to record five more. Alena and Nadya starred in New Year's musical for the Inter channel with the participation of leading show business stars, which further added to their popularity.

At the peak of success, Nadezhda unexpectedly found out that she was pregnant and decided to leave the group. This event came as a complete surprise to Kostyuk and Meladze. They urgently began to look for a similar participant, and soon Granovskaya’s place was taken by St. Petersburg model Tatyana Naynik. She lacked Nadya’s charisma and vocal abilities, so it was decided to strengthen the lineup with the young and charming Anya Sedokova, who had a beautiful voice and a luxurious figure. The public favorably accepted the video for the song “Stop. Stop. Stop" with new soloists, and the group successfully continued its existence.


However, six months later, Granovskaya, having barely recovered from giving birth, came to Meladze and tearfully asked to take her back. For some time they performed as a foursome, but later Naynik took up solo career.

VIA Gra - Stop! Stop! Stop!

Soon it was Alena Vinnitskaya’s turn to leave the group. The girl was much older than the other participants and felt uncomfortable. And the singer’s husband, musician Sergei Bolshoi, was not happy with her participation in ViaGra.


Alena quickly found a replacement in the person of Dneprodzerzhinsk resident Vera Galushko, who was ready to do anything to escape poverty. In record time, the girl turned from a simple provincial girl into a luxurious, sexy beauty, capable of turning the head of any man. Vera came up with Brezhnev's sonorous pseudonym and shot a video with her participation for the song “Don't leave me, beloved,” which became an undisputed hit in 2003.


In the same year, the group’s second album “Stop! Filmed”, in support of which a grandiose tour was organized. The success of the album exceeded all the producers' expectations, and it was decided to go global. Having released the English version of the album “Stop! Stop! Stop!”, the group went on a tour of the countries of the East (Japan, China, Thailand, Hong Kong), which was a resounding success.

The group entered the Western market under the name “Nu Virgos” (which means “Naked Virgins”) in order to avoid lawsuits from the manufacturer of the drug “Viagra”.

Satisfied producers were already making plans to conquer Europe and America, when in April 2004 Sedokova unexpectedly announced her pregnancy and left the group a month later. Her departure cost the producers several tens of millions of dollars. A casting was urgently announced, and Anya’s place was soon taken by the wayward Svetlana Loboda, who was never able to find mutual language neither with the participants nor with the producers.


Four months later, the girl left the group, and she was replaced by Valery Meladze’s protégé Albina Dzhanabaeva (as it turned out later, his mother illegitimate son Bones). The girl was much inferior to the other participants in appearance and notorious sex appeal, but, having enlisted the support of Valery, she began to restore order in the group.

VIA Gra – Biology

In 2005, the team began serious problems. His popularity sharply declined with Sedakova’s departure, and soon Vera and Nadya asked to be “freed.” Konstantin Meladze did not interfere with them, and he himself was already thinking about closing the project.


Kostyuk still managed to persuade his colleague to continue working, and soon a real leapfrog of participants began. Over the next seven years, six soloists changed: Granovskaya was replaced first by Christina Kots-Gottlieb, then by Olga Koryagina, and finally by Meseda Bagaudinova. They were looking for a girl to replace Brezhneva for almost a year, all this time “VIA Gra” was a duet. Finally, in March 2008, singer Tatyana Kotova joined the group, then Granovskaya returned to the group to replace the departed Bagaudinova. In March 2010, Kotova’s place was taken by Eva Bushmina, and a year and a half later, Nadezhda, who again expressed a desire to leave the group, was replaced by Santa Dimopoulos.


After a year of being in the team, Santa got married. "VIA Gra" again turned into a duet. At the end of 2012, the group's producer announced the closure of the project. But, as it turned out, the news was a carefully planned PR campaign. Meladze, who by that time had already parted ways with Kostyuk, decided to recruit a completely new team. For this he organized television show“I want to go to Meladze,” whose mentors and jury members were former participants.

Winners of the show “I want to go to VIA Gro”

Three girls reached the finals - Misha Romanova, Erica Herceg and Nastya Kozhevnikova, who became the new “VIA Groy”. At first, the girls loudly announced themselves with the songs “Truce” and “I have someone else,” but over time, interest in them faded. They never managed to repeat the phenomenal success of the “golden” line-up of ViaGra, which shone on the stage in the mid-2000s.

Scandals

After Meladze’s decision to reform the group and recruit new participants in the TV show, a black cat ran between the group’s producers. They could not agree on the rights to the brand. Dmitry Kostyuk decided to open his own project with the same name, since in Russia the rights to the name belonged to him, and in Ukraine the VIA Gra brand was registered with Meladze. As a result, Kostyuk recruited a new cast, which included Dasha Medovaya, Dasha Rostova and Aina Wilber. In 2015, the group ceased to exist, as Rospatent prematurely stopped the protection of Kostyuk’s trademark.

New line-up"VIA Gra"

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, 21 years old, Yuzhnoukrainsk

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 TV 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, 23 years old, Kherson

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 began studying in a 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

The Via Gra group was created in the early 2000s. During this time, its composition changed numerously, but the criteria for choosing girls remained the same - they should not only sing well, but also look attractive and seductive. The composition of the Via Gra 2017 group meets all these criteria and is popular with its fans.

Currently the group includes:

  1. Kozhevnikova Dmitrievna, 24 years old.
  2. Herceg Erika Nikolaevna, 29 years old.
  3. Misha Romanova (Natalia Mogilenets), 27 years old.

The first member of the legendary trio

So, we should start with Anastasia Kozhevnikova, who took pride of place as the “new little black one from Viagra.” Since childhood, the girl dreamed of performing on stage and acquiring a lot of fans. Therefore, at the age of six, her parents sent the girl to the choir, and a few years later to piano class.

Nastya was a sociable and versatile person, she was not afraid to try something new and communicate with different people– she was the life of the party, at the same time she studied well and was the favorite of the teachers.

In order to achieve her dream, Anastasia Kozhevnikova participated in all kinds of music competitions for children and teenagers, but none of them brought her the desired victory. But that didn't dampen the ardor young talent and, having gone through all the difficulties and trials of fate, Nastya gets to the casting of the reality show “I Want Viagra”.


Legendary trio: Anastasia Kozhevnikova (right)

This fateful event occurred in 2013. Coming onto the stage, the colorful brown-haired girl with green eyes won the hearts of not only picky judges, but also numerous spectators.

After the long-awaited victory and the signed contract with, the young girl had to sacrifice a lot and radically change her life. For example, she had to break up with her beloved boyfriend because their feelings could not stand the test of fame. Also, Anastasia did not have the opportunity to graduate from the university full-time, but she still received a bachelor’s degree through correspondence.

By the way, shortly before graduation she was recognized as the most beautiful student at her university, and in 2015 the singer took 95th place among the hundred sexiest girls in the world, according to the English men's magazine For Him Magazine.

Anastasia Kozhevnikova is a purposeful and talented young girl who has proven that through work, perseverance and unshakable faith you can achieve any goals. All that can be said is that this girl deservedly became a member of the Via Gra group, which is still relevant in 2017.

The story of a thin blonde who excited the public

The next participant in the updated Viagra is Erica Herceg. The girl spent the first years of her life in Hungary, where her father was from, but she already finished ninth grade at a church reform lyceum in the village of Velikaya Dobron in Ukraine. At the same time, the young girl began singing in the church choir and even winning local competitions.

But initially Erica did not see herself as an artist and entered a university with an economic focus. On last year learning has arrived of sorts crucial moment– Herceg decided to change her appearance once and for all and got rid of 30 extra pounds in a year.

She didn't sit on strict diets and did not stay up late at night in the gym, although sports were undoubtedly present in her life. Erica emphasized proper diet, which I compiled daily for myself and on active image life. By the way, the two jobs she was forced to work on helped her stay in good shape and burn the necessary calories.

The girl also does not hide the fact that after a sharp weight loss she decided to make another change - she enlarged her breasts, which in 2012 helped her get a job in the modeling business in Kyiv.

Her charming pictures drive all the men in the country crazy, and a light accent adds charm to the whole image.

Erica Herceg became the first girl to perform on the stage of the reality show “I Want Viagra” and all the judges greeted her with smiles. Despite the excitement and lack of experience in performing at big stage, the beauty did an excellent job and advanced to the next round.

Everything was going just fine, but one day the girl almost left the project because before the battle for the mentors she risked shortening the skirt of her suit. The other girls from her “troika” did the same, which infuriated Konstantin Meladze.

They could have left the show the moment they entered the stage if Nadezhda Granovskaya had not stood up for them. By the way, she soon became a mentor to three unlucky designers and led them to a well-deserved victory.

After the announcement of the results, the fans of the young girl were happy with this turn of events, because even the judges said that Erica Herceg is the most bright participant project and deserves a place in the Viagra group, and she continues to prove her case in 2017.

Misha Romanova: a difficult path to an impossible dream

The last member of the most charming trio in Ukraine is Natalya Mogilenets, who performs under a creative pseudonym. It is known that the name Misha belongs to her first love, and the surname Romanov was borne by the man with whom the girl dreamed of being together, but fate took them in different directions.

Natasha was born into a small family in the city of Kherson. Due to psychological trauma, the girl began to stutter severely from a very early age, which interfered with communication with other children and normal development. On the advice of the doctor, without particularly hoping for success, the parents enrolled the baby in vocal studio. Singing lessons really helped to cope with stuttering and gave the girl a dream - to become a famous singer.

But when the time came to enter the university, Natalya’s father insisted that she apply to the Academy of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It was not possible to get on the budget, so the girl took a completely different path - she decided to try her hand at the Kiev Variety and Circus School and after 5 years she successfully graduated.

Before getting into Viagra, the young girl managed to meet Alan Badoev, who immediately appreciated her talent and took her under his patronage. By that time, the aspiring singer decided to use a pseudonym and became known to the public as Misha Romanova.

This unusual name, a strong voice and emotional performance helped Misha go through all the difficulties and find himself among the top three winners of the show “I Want Viagra.” From that day on, Misha's life changed completely and she learned what it meant to become everyone's favorite.

Despite the fact that several years have already passed since the end of the project, the created trio is indestructible. The Viagra group, created in 2013, is still touring, recording new songs, performing old hits and has no plans to leave in 2017 - the girls are full of energy and an unshakable desire to stay together as long as possible (photo).


Via Gra group: new line-up

In past Via group Gra constantly changed its participants and so quickly that some of them simply did not have time to remember. But this does not mean that the girls from today’s trio will suffer the same fate. After all, they have all the data to give their talent to people for many decades to come and get real pleasure from it.
They know for sure that for this they will have to work hard and sacrifice a lot, since the path to success is never easy. But they have already been through a lot and know that they will never give up on the path to their dream.
