"Leningrad" is a Russian group with a long history and notoriety. Provocative texts with an abundance of obscenities, non-standard shows on the verge of public morality at concerts, and at the same time a powerful rotation on radio and television - it is impossible not to notice this band, even if you do not like the style of music they perform. At the moment when the attention to the group on the part of journalists diminished somewhat, a new song appeared … about the male genital organ. The composition, despite the rudeness and abundance of profanity, instantly became popular, and Yulia Kogan, the soloist of Leningrad at that time, once woke up famous throughout the country. However, very soon the team began to perform with another girl, entrusting all the female vocal parts to her.

In 2012, Yulia Kogan decided to become a mother and went on maternity leave. It is worth noting that the vocalist worked in the group on a par with its permanent leader Sergei Shnurov. The latest albums have had more thanthere are enough songs that involve male and female vocals or even more female ones. Accordingly, to perform without a soloist for the team at that moment meant giving up half of the updated repertoire. The team did not dare to take such a step, and then the search for a new vocalist began. She became Alisa Vox-Burmistrova. The girl cannot be considered in full measure "the discovery of" Leningrad ". Before joining the group, she was quite well known as a resident of many St. Petersburg clubs, in particular, D'12. The new soloist of "Leningrad" was also popular as a presenter. Initially, it was assumed that Alice would only replace Yulia during the decree, but as a result, the girl remained in the group.

Very soon after the birth of the child, the ex-vocalist began to appear in public, give interviews and act in talk shows. At this time, the Leningrad group went on a tour, and in many cities the audience was waiting to see the group in the old familiar composition. The expectations of the fans did not come true, a newcomer, Alice, invariably appeared on the stage. And very soon there were reports of the official and final dismissal of Julia. According to some sources, this decision was made by Sergei Shnurov. It was he who wanted the soloist of the Leningrad group Yulia Kogan to leave the band forever.

Today she is already known as the main vocalist and is eagerly awaited at concerts.
