History

The group was conceived by Bari Alibasov in 1988, wanting talented singer between the ages of 18–25. He would hire Vladimir Lyovkin, Valery Yurin, Marina Khlebnikova, and Pavel Sokolov. A few more changes in members and the lineup of Lyovkin, Sokolov, Vladimir Politov, Vyacheslav Zherebkin, and Vladimir Asimov would be considered the "golden lineup". In 1996, a two part television film, "Country of Na Na" was made and aired on Russian television. In 2000 Na-Na signed a contract with Dick Clark Productions. In June 2008, lead singer Pavel Sokolov left the group. Alibasov brought in Oleg Korshunov and Sergey Grigoriev  into the group. Members of the group were aboard Kolavia Flight 348, which burst into flames after an engine fire while taxiing for takeoff on 1 January 2011, killing 3 and injuring 43. All group members escaped unharmed. Anno 2024 Na Na continue to tour staring Vladimir Politov and Vyacheslav Zherebkin, and newest member Mikhail Igonin. Lyovkin died on 17 November 2024, at the age of 57, from acute leukemia. His death was confirmed by his wife.
