One day Alena left the group and Via Gra lost a lot, but Alena started solo career.

This city, as one of its natives, lead singer of the group “Tea for Two” Stas Kostyushkin, assures, supplies talent not only for itself and Ukraine and Russia, but also for the whole world - America, Israel, Australia. “Probably,” says Stas, “there is something in the spirit of the Black Sea, and in the very atmosphere of this city, in its air, about which Utesov once sang: “Here is the air that I breathed in as a child, and plenty of it.” I couldn't breathe."

True, Kostyushkin did not live long in Odessa: when he was only a year old, his parents moved to Leningrad. But they still came to their grandparents every year to warm up and swim in the sea.
