1) Pop group from Russia. Propaganda is: Vika Voronina, Ira Yakovleva, Masha Bukatar.
The girls worked with complete dedication on their first album, “Children” (2001). From about 50 musical sketches, they first selected 20, and from those selected, the best 10 tracks. Then there were tears, quarrels and girl fights in the studio, personal problems and problems with songs, but always - search, always - creativity. In September 2001, Propaganda filmed its debut video for the song “Chalk.” The video is based on Darren Aronofsky's film "Requiem for a Dream" - a poignant, intimate conversation about the life of drug addicts. The footage flashes the rainy sky, autumn St. Petersburg alleys, dark corridors of communal apartments and wretched inhabitants of the lower social classes of society. And above all this hovers the young and pure dream of teenagers - to brighten up the gloomy world, make it brighter, better...
The debut album “Children” went on sale in February 2002 and immediately reached the top of the charts. On the wave of success, the remix album “Not Children” (2002) was released in July, which included new song“Cold” and remixes of compositions from the debut album from famous representatives Russian pop scene represented by Yuri Usachev (“Guests from the Future”), DJ Groove, Mutabor, Radiotrance and others. Was well received by fans and new clip"Nobody". Next, CD Land Company releases a collection of hits and remixes “Who?!” (2002).
For Propaganda, 2003 can already be called a significant year. New soloists, new emotions, new songs, and the poignant album “So be it” (2003) as a result. But not the result. This is just the beginning... The new album is inspired by the feeling of love, we can say that this album is love! Vika Voronina’s warm and piercing “Propaganda” lines formed the basis for the video “Five Minutes for Love,” the first video in the group’s new role. To catch up with the emotions and experiences, the second video hit “So be it” appeared on the screen, which was destined to march on television screens for months and months. For the song “So be it” in April 2003 she received the “Stopudovy Hit” award, and a couple of months later on Channel One’s “Golden Gramophone” the hit “Rain on the Roof” attracted more and more fans to “Propaganda”. The position of “Propaganda” in the charts was strengthened by the blockbuster “Song without Words”, which opened the re-release of the successful album “So be it”, now in full version entitled “Someone is playing at love...” (2003).
In November 2003, the group shot a new video for the song “Yay-Ya”, where “Propaganda” briefly turned into the seductress Eves of the glorious disco era of the 80s. This song is quite unusual in its sound. “Propaganda” is for experiments and never stands still!
“Yay-ya” successfully won the top lines of all kinds of charts and by the end of winter 2004 it was already “competing” with another new product from “Propaganda” - “Super Baby”, the video for which was aired in the spring, which gave Vika, Ira and Olya a colossal creative charge: in April, the shooting of a new original video for the poignant ballad “Quanto Costa” took place.
The “Propaganda” group’s experiments with the “disco” style took shape in the colorful, stylish album “Super Detka” (2004), the two main songs from which have already become hits (“Yay-ya”, “Super Detka”). The new album of “Propaganda” is about a romantic, vulnerable contemporary. She sometimes cannot understand her feelings, which find her everywhere. It can be difficult to figure out what your heart wants... The author of all the songs on the album “Super Baby” is Vika Voronina.
The recording of the group's new album lasted almost a year. The new album “Poems in the Metro or Alone at Home” (2006), released according to tradition in April, is Propaganda’s new experiments with musical styles. If in previous album“Propaganda” declared itself as a group that successfully embodied synth-pop on Russian stage, then in the new album the experiments of Vika, Olya, Ira and Dasha continued. By the way, Dasha’s saxophone is given a worthy place in the new songs.

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 really found a deep meaning in this song)) 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. The first lineup, which will be discussed 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 am interested in precisely this, the first and most famous composition of 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, I liked the soloist Victoria Voronina, who is also a songwriter, the most. 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
Friends! Please note: in order to correctly correct the lyrics of the song, you need to highlight at least two words
Biography (history) of the PROPAGANDA group
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 lasted 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’ free days 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 large number 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 aired 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.
