Group "Propaganda. Group "propaganda" in Russian show business Group propaganda last line-up

Dear Gossip Girls, hello everyone! I’ve been on Gossipnik for a long time and closely)) But I still didn’t dare to write my first post, and then the idea came up after watching an old video of the group “Propaganda - Chalk” on the music channel. I remember how, as a child, I found in this song deep meaning)) I really liked this group, I knew, naturally, I knew all the words by heart)) Then I was still a ten-year-old girl and in children's summer camps we just listened to their songs.

A little history. The Propaganda group was founded in 2001. In the first composition, about whom and we'll talk in this post, consisted of soloist Victoria Voronova, Victoria Petrenko and Yulia Garanina. They were the authors of all the first songs. But then there was a rift between the girls and the producer, and Victoria Petrenko left the group, followed by Yulia Garanina. Then there were other girls, but I won’t write about them, because... I'm interested in this one, the first and most famous composition this group. Well, let's remember our youth?)

We haven’t heard anything about the group for a long time, they don’t appear anywhere former members this trio. But after rummaging through the Internet, I finally found them. And I’m sharing with you, I think many of you also listened to them in childhood.

Of the trio, my favorite was soloist Victoria Voronina, who is also a songwriter. This is what she looked like during her popularity

I considered her an incredible beauty, so lively, with big eyes, with good voice(yes, I sincerely thought so). BUT, what happened to her next is, excuse me, a complete joke... In general, judge for yourself.

Now Victoria, already an ex-soloist of Propaganda, is engaged in solo work, as her VK page tells us, writes songs for other authors and appears in videos. But for some reason no one sees them.

She was not spared the fate of duck lips and tuning, which makes everyone look the same. Now let's see what Vika looks like now.

Now Vika is 32 years old, Karl is thirty-two!

You know, girls, but I still like it, even now. She’s kind of cute, well, I don’t see any malice in her, even though she’s not popular now, she still continues to do something, which is commendable.

Two other girls, Victoria Petrenko and Yulia Garanina, created their own group with the simple name “Petra and Yukka”

This is what the girls look like now

  The first producer of the Propaganda group was Sergei Izotov. The group’s first hit was the song “Chalk”, which appeared on the radio station “Europe Plus” on September 1, 2001. During the work, 7 albums were released, the author and performer of all songs, with the exception of two (“Maria fell in love with Juanna” and “How far is it to Tallinn”), is Victoria Voronina.

  Since 2011 she has been working solo as Victoria Voronina. Victoria Petrenko and Yulia Garanina are members of the first composition of “Propaganda”, the authors of all the songs in the albums “Children”, “Not Children” and “Who”. The reason for the collapse of the first lineup was disagreements between the girls and the management. Victoria Petrenko left the lineup, followed by Yulia Garanina in support.

  After Petrenko and Garanina left, new members were accepted into the group - Olga Moreva and Ekaterina Oleinikova. The image of teenage girls was radically changed and transformed according to the wishes of the producer. In 2003, the composition was rotated. The team included three girls: Vika Voronina, Katya Oleynikova and Olga Moreva.

  The peak of the group's popularity occurred in 2002-2004. During this period, the hits “Five Minutes for Love”, “Yay-Ya”, “Super Baby”, “Kvanta Costa”, etc. were released. But after the “Kvanta Costa” video, “Propaganda” began to lose popularity due to problems with financing and, as a result, a decrease in promotion.

  The Propaganda group was created in 2001. Three teenage girls came to the then-famous producer Sergei Izotov and said that they had wonderful songs and they wanted to become famous. These were Vika Voronina, Vika Petrenko and Yulia Garanina. The producer really liked the songs and he started recording songs with the girls. During the work, it turned out that of all three, only Vika Voronina could sing, so “recitative parts” were written for the rest. Thus was born own style“Propaganda”, but in this composition the team existed for less than a year. Soon after the release of the first album, as Vika Voronina recalls, the girls were overwhelmed star fever and the producer was forced to part with two of them. For some time, several brighter participants, who were subject to increased demands in terms of vocals, were vying for their place. As a result, Katya Oleinikova (2002-2003), Olga Moreva (2002-2006) and Ira Yakovleva (2003-2009) worked in the team for a long time. There has been a turn in the work of the Propaganda group - the abandonment of recitative parts and the transition to professional lyrical vocals. In addition, a fourth member appears in the team - musician, saxophonist Dasha.

  
  

  In 2007, all rights to the Propaganda group passed to the new producer Sergei Ivanov, who had worked with the group up to this point as a director. Only Vika Voronina and Ira Yakovleva retain their places in the group of four participants, they are joined by Maria Bukatar. It is from this moment that the group begins to perform exclusively live, without using a soundtrack. Tour schedule The Propaganda group includes 10-15 concerts every month, and the girls’ days off from touring are occupied by almost daily vocal and choreography rehearsals.

  Not everyone can maintain such a schedule, and in 2010 Victoria Voronina left the team, who dreams of finding time for solo creativity. And a little earlier, in 2009, instead of Ira Yakovleva, new member- Anastasia Shevchenko.

  The group has a large number of national music awards(“Golden Gramophone”, “Song of the Year”, “Stopudovy Hit”, “ Major League", "Silver Disc", "Bomb of the Year" and many others) and is a laureate of many television festivals and competitions.

  Over the years of its existence, the group has released a large number of hits, such compositions as “Chalk”, “Who”, “Nobody”, “So be it”, “Rain on the roofs”, “5 minutes”, “Yay-ya”, “Super” -Baby” and “QuantoCosta” topped various charts of radio stations and TV channels for weeks.

  
  

  In 2010, the song “You Know,” composed by Alexander Yankovsky, became such a hit. This track spent several weeks at the top of the DFM chart, and the video for this song is still on air on music TV channels.

  The Propaganda group, consisting of Masha Bukatar and Nastya Shevchenko, continues to delight its fans with new dance compositions and regular concerts.

  In 2011, the track and at the same time the video clip “I’m like that” were released, which entered the DFM chart and received more than 10 million views on YouTube. Then the group releases the album “You Know”, where one of the tracks “Dial” also appears on air on some radio stations.

  
  

  At the beginning of 2013, the tracks “Girlfriend” and “I Wrote Love” were released. Video clips were also shot for these tracks, which are widely presented on television channels.

  The track "Girlfriend" has gained immense popularity among the people. Most recently the group released new album- “Purple Powder” and shot a video for the single “It’s a pity.”

  
  

  The Propaganda group celebrates its 15th anniversary in 2016. Over the entire period, the composition of the team changed several times; we counted 9 such changes. These compositions are presented in the photo. Today the Propaganda team includes Maya Podolskaya, Veronica Kononenko and Arina Milan. They replaced Maria Bukatar and Anastasia Shevchenko in November 2015. Based on the time they worked in the group, the rating of “veterans” of Propaganda is as follows: 1) Maria Bukatar - 9 years and 6 months, in 5 compositions; 2) Victoria Voronina - 9 years and 4 months, in 5 compositions; 3) Anastasia Shevchenko - 6.5 years in 4 teams; 4) Irina Yakovleva - 6 years in 2 teams; 5) Olga Moreva - 4.5 years in 2 teams; 6) Ekaterina Oleynikova - 1.5 years. All others: Victoria Petrenko, Yulia Garanina, Victoria Bogoslavskaya, Maria Nedelkova - less than 1 year.

  The three soloists of the Propaganda group - Vika Petrenko, Vika Voronina and Yulia Garanina - became widely known to the public in the early 2000s. This happened largely due to their bright appearance and charismatic performance. But not without the help of producer Sergei Izotov, the Propaganda group attracted the attention of a multi-million Russian audience.

  How it all began...

  Before the girls gained popularity, they had to go through a lot of disappointments and difficulties. I had to make a living by performing at Christmas trees. The girls worked as clowns and life-size puppets, and hung around the old Arbat, performing their own songs.

  A. Kozin, director of a famous recording studio, accidentally drew the attention of one of these performances. A few days later, the Propaganda group was introduced to producer S. Izotov. He helped the band record their first hit and brought them to the big stage. This is how the composition “Chalk” became known to the general public.

  Lineup change

  

  But staying in one team in the harsh conditions of show business turned out to be difficult. At one of the performances, viewers noticed that the Propaganda group had changed its composition. Instead of three girls, two appeared on stage, and one was completely unknown. Fans were explained that Victoria Petrenko left the group as a result of a split and “inconsistency” with the moral character of the pop stars.

  Following her, Julia left the team. As one would expect, the renewed Propaganda group, whose composition has changed, also changed its image.

  New girls - Olga Moreva and Irina Yakovleva - worked on their appearance, worked on new songs and recorded their first album with great difficulty.

  At the top of popularity

  The album appeared in 2002 and was called “Children”. Following it, a remix album was released. The Propaganda group reached the top of the charts. New videos, songs, tours led to the fact that the soloists began to be recognized, their hits were increasingly heard on popular radio stations. 2003 became one of the most successful years, at which time another album “So be it” appeared. The enormous popularity of Ira, Vika and Olya was brought by the song of the group “Propaganda” entitled “ Super Baby" A video was shot for it and a colorful disc was released, the songwriter for which was lead singer Vika Voronina. In 2004, the group won the Golden Gramophone for the composition “Yay-Ya”.

  

  Since the beginning of its existence, the group has already released 7 albums, toured Russia and beyond. But the “star fever” of one of the participants again led to a change in the lineup. Having decided to start solo career, in 2011 Vika Voronina left the team, her place was taken by Vika Bogoslovskaya (one of the participants in the “Star Factory”). After singing with Ira and Olya for no more than six months, she left them. And in July 2012, Maria Nedelkova joined the Propaganda group.

  Constant work on images, experiments with disco style, bright attractive appearance of the participants, talented performance allow us to stay afloat in tough conditions. Russian show business. And today you can hear hits performed by the new lineup, which, according to critics, is in no way inferior to the original one.

  Many people remember the hits of the Propaganda group that once thundered throughout the country - “Chalk”, “Eat Apples” and “Superdetka”. At the time of the release of these songs, the band members Vika Voronina, Vika Petrenko and Yulia Garanina were very young girls. Now there is no trace left of the group’s former composition, and the girls have gone through numerous trials over the years. The soloist and author of many songs of “Propaganda” Vika Voronina shared the details of her life.

  “Our first album “Children” sold a huge number of copies. After concerts, fans tore pieces of our clothes as souvenirs. We could be an unsinkable group. But, unfortunately, our relationship with Vika and Yulia did not stand the test of fame. I was quite happy with receiving $100 for a concert, which was comparable to my parents’ monthly salary. And the girls caught star fever. They began to show dissatisfaction with Izotov,” says Vika about the group’s first producer. - It seemed to them that he was doing everything wrong: he was shooting the video according to the wrong script, dressing us in the wrong clothes, etc. As a result, Sergei Evgenievich fired them. Because of this, the girls and I quarreled and stopped communicating. Only a year and a half later, Vika and Yulia called me and admitted that they were wrong. We met, cried, hugged. But it was already too late."

  

  After this event, Voronina found herself the only soloist from the original lineup of the group. The rest appeared and left, and with such speed that the girl could not even really get to know them. According to the singer, the group underwent changes twelve times. In addition, Izotov acquired another business, and he completely abandoned producing Propaganda.

  “It was a hard blow for me. I remember, from anxiety, I lost 28 kg in two weeks. I was stuck with a car loan. There was no rich lover. Only retired parents. And I didn’t know how to live further,” Vika shares. - I contacted for support concert director“Propaganda” to Sergei Ivanov. According to Ivanov, he negotiated with Izotov for a long time and eventually bought the rights to Propaganda from him. “Now I’m your producer,” he told us in the summer of 2007. We sign new contracts with me.” I trusted the man so much that, without really delving into it, I signed everything he asked. Moreover, she signed for him twice on blank sheets of paper, which, according to him, were intended for fans. It never occurred to me that Sergei could deceive me.”

  It turned out that the conditions of contact became virtual slavery for Voronina. Under the pretext of the need to pay compensation to the former producer, Ivanov took all the fees from the soloists. Vika was also prohibited from going to other jobs and selling songs. own composition, because it was allegedly written so in the contract. “For trying to communicate with one of my colleagues or their producers, he fined me. In fact, I became his slave. In the summer of 2010, she couldn’t stand it and told Ivanov: “Seryozha, either you raise my salary, or I leave the group. I can’t work anymore for that kind of money.” “I’d rather raise the salaries of other girls,” he replied. “And you, old, crooked, hunchbacked and fat, are not particularly needed by the team.” After that, “Propaganda” worked for some time without me,” Vika continues in the interview. "Express newspaper".

  

  Then followed a series of mutual lawsuits, and persecution of Voronina by Ivanov. According to the girl, these problems have not been resolved to this day. However, her producer has his own opinion on this matter.

  “After Voronina left, only two participants worked in Propaganda. We tried to take the third one, but no one stayed longer than three months. I still have a valid contract with Voronina, concluded until 2017. It stated that if she left, she must pay a penalty of 300 thousand dollars. But I treated her with understanding and did not demand this money from her. For two years there was no word from her. And then Vika wanted to return to the stage again, and she needed to terminate the contract. If she had come to me and asked me in a humane way, it would have been a different conversation. But Voronina immediately sued me. She threw hysterics at meetings and shamelessly lied, as if I had not paid her wages for years,” explains Ivanov. - Yes, I could give up on her and terminate the contract with her. This makes me neither cold nor hot. But Vika behaved in such a way that, for the sake of principle, I will not terminate anything.”
