To be perfectly honest, i have enough difficulty knowing who's currently in Ukraine's magnificent pop car-crash Via Gra without troubling myself with keeping track of all the people they have kicked out over the years. This would go some way to explaining why i didn't recognise Svetlana Loboda immediately. If memory serves me well, she was the one who replaced Anna Sedakova, went on a brief tour of Asia and was sacked when she asked to be more involved in writing the songs without ever making it to one of their records. Producer Konstantin Meladze may be regretting the decision now - her single Postoy Muschina is superb - as good as anything he has come up with in years.
