They became a cult group of the generation of the early 2000s - Ranetki were so popular among young people that in 2008, 3 years after the group was founded, a series of the same name was filmed, in which the main roles were played by the members of the group. Since then, many changes have taken place in their lives: clumsy teenage girls have turned into real beauties, after the breakup of the group, some of the participants managed to get married several times, have children, but they do not exclude the possibility of the return of Ranetki, albeit in a different format …

Vocalist and rhythm guitarist Anya Rudneva joined the first line-up of the Ranetki group at the age of 15, in 2005, and remained in the band until 2011, after which she decided to take up solo activities and released the album Magnit. Together with other "ranetki" Rudneva graduated from the faculty of producing and staging show programs of the Moscow State University of Culture. In addition, she became interested in jewelry design and opened her own recording studio. After the series "Ranetki", where Anya Rudneva played one of the main roles, she starred in several more episodes of the sitcom "Happy Together" and in the comedy series "Amazons from the Hinterland", which ended her acting career.

In 2008, Rudneva met the actor Pavel Serdyuk, known for the role of Maxim Shatalin's son in the sitcom My Fair Nanny. He became the singer's first husband and the father of her daughter Sonya. In 2013, this marriage broke up, and after 2 years Rudneva married a second time - to Dmitry Belin, with whom she opened a recording studio. The couple had a son, Timofey. At the end of 2017, Anna Rudneva and Natalia Milnichenko announced their intention to revive Ranetok and released a new song, We Lost Time.

Lera Kozlova has been studying music since childhood and was a member of the "Buratino" collective. At the age of 17 she became a member of the Ranetki group, where she became a drummer, and then a soloist. After 3 years, Lera left the group and took up solo work. Then she explained her decision by the fact that it was a forced withdrawal due to her refusal from relations with the producer of the group Sergei Milnichenko. He himself did not comment on this fact. After that, Kozlova released a solo album "Give me a sign", and in 2015 she began performing as part of the "5sta Family" group. At the moment, the 31-year-old singer is not married.

Keyboardist and vocalist Zhenya Ogurtsova joined the first line-up of Ranetok at the age of 15 and performed with the band until its breakup in 2013. After that, she continued to study music, write songs and even tried to create her own group - Red, but visible no success. In 2010, Ogurtsova married Pavel Averin 4 months after they met. After 3 years, this marriage broke up, and in 2015 the singer married a second time - to the designer Anatoly Ramonov. In the same year, the couple had a son, Mark. And more recently it became known that the couple decided to divorce.

Natalia Shchelkova was fond of sports as a child: she was engaged in figure skating under the guidance of Ilya Averbukh. But later the music in her life came to the fore: in her teens, the girl mastered playing the guitar and at the age of 15 she became a member of the Ranetki group. Together with them, she released 4 albums and remained in the band until its breakup in 2013. In the late 2000s.there were rumors about Natalya's romance with the producer of the group Sergei Milnichenko, and they soon confirmed this information: in 2009 their wedding took place. The couple had three children. In 2017, Natalia Milnichenko, together with Anna Rudneva, announced the return of Ranetok to the stage. True, the other members of the group did not support this idea - they decided to start a new Youtube project called "Kuraga", where the girls talked about their lives in short videos. Until now, Natalya Milnichenko answers evasively questions about the reunification of the group in full force - obviously, they could not find a common solution with the rest of the participants.

Lena Tretyakova in her youth was fond of football and kickboxing, but due to health problems, these classes had to be abandoned. Her brother taught her to play the guitar, and since then a new meaning has appeared in her life - music. At the age of 17, Lena joined the Ranetki group as a bass player. In 2012, Lena Tretyakova took up a solo career and released the albums "Point B" and "Dozen". In 2015, the girl became a soloist of the "Sea" group. At the same time, she became interested in yoga, lost a lot of weight and began to adhere to a healthy lifestyle - according to her, she used alcohol and drugs as a teenager. Lena Tretyakova was not married, but at the end of 2018 there was information that she was preparing for the wedding.

Nyuta Baydavletova entered the second line-up of the Ranetki group after Lera Kozlova left the team. The fans of the group did not want to accept this replacement for a long time, they even organized rallies against the new member. Nevertheless, she remained in the group until its breakup. After that, the singer could not come to her senses for a long time, and only 4 years later she took up solo work. True, she did not achieve visible success in this matter, but she became a fairly well-known video blogger.

Until now, none of the girls can give a clear answer to the question of why their group broke up. In 2017, they stated: "".

The first resounding popularity came to the "Ranetki" after they performed their song in the TV series "Kadetstvo", the characters of which also changed a lot: The series "Kadetstvo" 12 years later.
