Career

After a three year stint in the band with one full album and a live album, she was forced to leave the band during the recording of the second album by the band"s producer Sergey Milnichenko. She then started a solo career under the name LeRa (ЛеPа). She is currently working on her first album which has been given the tentative title "My Summer Rain".

Alina quickly left, to be replaced by Elena Tretyakova.

The first album "Ranetki" was released in 2006. The song "O Tebe" found its way to the world as a part of Vladivostok FM, a mock Russian radiostation in Grand Theft Auto IV. This gave the band initial worldwide recognition.

In November 2008, it was revealed that Lera had left Ranetki, under pressure of former boyfriend, producer Sergey Milnichenko. In 2011, after performing 3 songs for the magazine OOPS, Lera announced the closure of project LERA and her departure from the scene.

Rumors circled in June about the resumption of concerts, however Lera herself denied the statements, the girl wants a personal life.
