Alena Vinnitskaya received a portion of popularity when she became part of the Russian group VIA Gra. The singer did not last very long in the team, but she managed to be remembered by the audience for her openness, sincerity and incredible charisma.
Childhood and youth of Alena Vinnitskaya
Alena Vinnitskaya is a creative pseudonym, under which there is a modest name of Olga Vinnitskaya (the producer decided to leave the surname because he considered it quite sonorous). Olya was born in the capital of Ukraine, in Kiev, in an ordinary working-class family with an average income.
The girl's father died early enough. It was difficult for mom to “pull” her daughter alone. The time has come, the mother remarried, giving her daughter Olga not only a happy childhood, but also a younger brother.
From a young age, Olga Vinnitskaya did not like to sit idle. It seemed that the girl was active everywhere: at home, at school, on the street and ordinary family walks.
Vinnitskaya's life developed in such a way that she understood that under any life circumstances she could not give up, so she must definitely move on.
Olga's school years passed quietly. She simply adored Russian and foreign literature. In her teenage years, a guitar fell into her hands.
Since this period, Vinnitskaya has been actively interested in music. In addition, she wrote poetry. The idol of her youth was the leader of the Kino group, Viktor Tsoi.
After graduating from school, Vinnitskaya decided to enter the theater school. However, her desire to become an actress was not approved by the jury. Olga did not pass the entrance exam.
After the failure at the institute, Vinnitskaya worked for an insurance company. In the same period, the girl met the guys who played rock. Later, Olga became part of a rock band. The singer wrote songs and performed them herself to the accompaniment of familiar musicians.
In the mid-90s, she tried her hand at television. Olga worked as the main leading gossip column and part-time VJ.
A couple of years later, the girl was noticed by Konstantin Meladze, who invited the charming Vinnitskaya to become part of the VIA Gra group.

This trio was at the peak of its popularity. It was they who raised the rating of the VIA Gra group. The girls worked hard, released CDs, videos, filmed for magazines and performed with their concerts in the CIS countries.
As part of the musical group, Vinnitskaya was listed for three years. She was older than the rest of the group, so she can be called more conservative. Alena was married, and this reduced her attractiveness in the eyes of fans of the VIA Gra group.
The soloists were obliged to maintain the image of unmarried, enslaved ladies, so Alena was soon asked to leave. By that time, Vinnitskaya had already begun to think about a solo career.
