Blestyashchie (Russian: Блестящие, pronounced [blʲɪ'sʲtʲæɕɕɪɪ] - "The Shining" or "The Brilliants") is a Russian girl group founded in 1995[1]. Over the years, Blestyashchie has had many different singers, some of them with big breasts:
- Anastasiya Osipova (Анастасия Осипова, 2007-present)
- Anna Semenovich (Анна Семенович, 2003-2007)
- Kseniya Novikova (Ксения Новикова, 1999-2007)
Originally the group consisted of three girls: Olga Orlova (Ольга Орлова), Paulina Iodis (Полина Иодис) and Varvara Korolyova (Варвара Королёва). But immediately after the release of the first album Korolyova left the group. She was replaced by Zhanna Friske (Жанна Фриске) and Irina Lukyanova (Ирина Лукьянова). Two years later Iodis left the group, and in 1999 Kseniya Novikova (Ксения Новикова) replaced her.
A year later, Olga Orlova (the front member and the songwriter of the songs that made Blestyashie famous) became pregnant and left the group. She was replaced by Yulia Kovalchuk (Юлия Ковальчук). In 2003 Irina Lukyanova became pregnant too and also left the group. Later on Blestyashie was joined by the figure skating champion Anna Semenovich (Анна Семенович). In 2003 Zhanna Friske left the group for a solo career and is now one of the biggest stars in Russia. On April 1, 2004 Friske was replaced by Nadia Ruchka (Надя Ручка). In 2007, both Novikova and Semenovich left the group but were replaced by Anastasia Opisova (Анастасия Осипова).
In 2005, Olga Orlova was pursuing a solo career.
