Any musical group is, first of all, a collective, and various unforeseen circumstances and disagreements occur in it. It just so happened that at the dawn of their existence, the lineups of many pop projects looked completely different. Moreover, many of the soloists were not even remembered, although they contributed to the formation of the giants of the musical Olympus. We are sure that you will not recognize some of them now. And it's not just VIA Gre, which has already changed more than a dozen girls. Surely you will not immediately name the name of the soloist with whom the Hands Up! Group once began their journey.

Elizaveta Rodnyanskaya, Hands Up

The most loyal fans of the already cult group will remember that in the beginning "Hands up!" promoted not only by Sergei Zhukov and Alexei Potekhin. The female parts in the first compositions "Song", "Student", "Move your body" were performed by Elizaveta Rodnyanskaya. Moreover, on the cover of the band's first album, her name was indicated as a full-fledged member of the team. But the girl did not work on the recording of the second disc, although she occasionally performed with the guys. She explained her departure by the fact that she wants to develop her project called "MeliSSa". However, the success of this group compared to Hands Up! was incomparable.

Alena Vinnitskaya, "VIA Gra"

The composition of "VIA Gra" changed so often that the listeners did not have time to remember one participant, as another came to replace her. Now it is already difficult to calculate how many girls have tried their hand at the famous team. However, many people still remember the so-called golden composition, consisting of Anna Sedokova, Vera Brezhneva and Nadezhda Granovskaya. But even before him, "VIA Gra" managed to be noted by various soloists. But a completely different girl stood at the origins.

In general, the idea of creating a group came to producers Dmitry Kostyuk and Konstantin Meladze in 1999. At first, they wanted to form a pop trio, but of all the approved girls, only the former TV presenter Alena Vinnitskaya was left. Later, Nadezhda Granovskaya joined her. But the latter subsequently left, then came again. And Alena, having gone through several changes of participants, decided to leave the group in 2003 and go on a solo voyage.

Vinnitskaya returned to Kiev, began to write and perform songs. In the singer's personal life, everything is also smooth: for 25 years now she has been married to producer Sergei Alekseev.

Oksana Oleshko, "Hi-Fi"

Professional ballerina Oksana Oleshko starred in the band's debut video for the song "Not Given", and she became a full member of the group. Despite the fact that she was a soloist for only two years (from 2003 to 2005), the girl's personal life has changed dramatically during this time: she managed to divorce Vladimir Levkin (yes, this is the one from Na-na) and get married again. Her chosen one was Anton Petrov, who later left the pregnant Maxim. It was with the desire to devote herself to the family and to have a child that Oksana explained her departure from the group. However, as you already understood, this marriage did not last long, although her wife Oleshko gave birth to 2 daughters. The son appeared from a relationship with businessman Sergei Tsvitnenko. By the way, recently the group "Hi-Fi" again performs in the same composition.

Victoria Petrenko and Yulia Garanina, "Propaganda"

Those, whose youth came at the beginning of the 2000s, probably remember the song "Melom", which sounded almost from every iron. It is noteworthy that the composition was the debut for the "Propaganda" group, which was formed in 2001. Initially, it included Victoria Petrenko, Yulia Garanina and Victoria Voronina, who became the author and performer of all the songs.

But soon disagreements began in the team due to the fact that the participants and the leadership could not find a common language. Then Petrenko decided to leave "Propaganda". Garanina also went after her. Later, the girls decided to create their own project called "Petra and Yucca". However, they did not manage to achieve much success.

Barbara Koroleva and Polina Iodis, "Shiny"

In 1995, a new girl group appeared on the Russian musical Olympus, which included Olga Orlova, Varvara Koroleva and Polina Iodis. But the first one a year later decided to leave the "Brilliant", devoting herself to the family. And later she chose an occupation that was very far from music: the soloist took up rock climbing.

Polina lasted three years, but later realized that the ocean attracted her. Therefore, in 1998, the girl moved to Bali and took up surfing. Later, Iodis became one of the founders of the Federation for this sport in Russia and the organizers of the National Championship and surf camps in Europe.

Marina Lizorkina, "SEREBRO"

If almost everyone knows Elena Temnikova and Olga Seryabkina, then very few people will remember the third participant from the initial composition of the SEREBRO group Marina Lizorkina. But the spectacular blonde performed with the band at Eurovision, where they were awarded 3rd place. By the way, this was the very first performance of the girls on the big stage. It is interesting that producer Maxim Fadeev found a third soloist on the Internet.

However, in 2009, Lizorkina decided to radically change her occupation and took up painting. I must say that Marina has achieved success in this field: exhibitions in Moscow are a vivid proof of this. In 2015, the girl moved to the United States, where she continues to be creative.
