Let's add

The band "VIA Gra" is one of the most famous, successful and at the same time most scandalous pop bands in the post-Soviet space. It was founded in 2000 in Kyiv. In the West, the band has been repeatedly called "the Ukrainian answer to the Spice Girls".

Bold images, revealing stage costumes, and provocative lyrics made "VIA Gra" a musical and cultural phenomenon of the 2000s. The history of "VIA Gra" is marked by numerous personnel rotations.

The initial duo consisted of Nadia Meikher-Granovska and Alena Vinnytska. Later, Anna Sedokova joined them, and after Vinnytska left, she was replaced by Vera Brezhneva.

It is the Brezhneva-Sedokova-Granovska trio that fans call the "golden line-up", the period of which coincided with the peak of the band's popularity. In the following years, the composition of the group changed repeatedly.

In 2013, new members of the group were even chosen in the musical reality show "I Want to VIA Gra" on the "1+1" channel. Over more than two decades of the group's existence, dozens of vocalists have passed through "VIA Gra", and the project itself has been relaunched more than once, which only increased the public's interest in it.
