Ksyu has left the group, leaving only four members: Irina, Nastya, Nana, and Sveta. I believe the DJ who joins them for this one video is DJ Affecta, also known from the uncensored video "Fetish in the World."



As an extra for you guys, from around this same time period, the four girls currently in the group were on a fitness TV show that's worth checking out. Below is a clip of the show, the only clip of it I can find streaming on YouTube. If you would like to search for more clips, here is the text in Cyrillic script: Фитнес - А.Р.М.И.Я

In 2008, one year after the launch of Ukrainian girl group A.R.M.I.A, the same label, Mamamusic, launches a second girl group. While both groups inject their performances with lots of sex appeal, A.R.M.I.A started as a larger group that tends to emphasize choreographed dancing, while NikitA started as a two-member group with heavy emphasis on eroticism.

The group members are Yulia Kavtaradze, who had just left A.R.M.I.A and had her baby, and Dasha Astafieva, who had already been featured in Playboy Ukraine as Playmate of the Year, was soon to appear as Miss January 2009 in the U.S. version of Playboy, and would become Hugh Hefner's girlfriend around the same time that she appeared in the U.S. version.

А.Р.М.И.Я Мы сделали это

First video from new Ukrainian girl group A.R.M.I.A. Group members are Ksyu, Irina, Nastya, Nana, and Yulia. More info on the group members below the embedded video.



I'm going to recommend certain videos to watch if you want to learn all of the group members and their names.

1) Start with "Champion" from 2009, which features only four members. The blonde is Irina Stepanova and the redhead is Anastassia Snadnaya (Nastya). There are two brunettes: Anastassia Kumieiko (Nana) and Svetlana Safronova (Sveta). You'll learn which is which below.

2) Next, watch "Allo, Allo" from 2010 in which vocalist Vera Varlamova joins the group (note that girl group NikitA shows up as a cameo, consisting of Dasha Astafieva and Yulia Kavtaradze).

3) Now, watch NikitA's 2011 video "20:12" in which Nana has left A.R.M.I.A and replaced Yulia in the group NikitA.

4) Now, watch A.R.M.I.A's 2011 video "Lyubi menya." The brunette who is still in A.R.M.I.A is Sveta.

5) Now, going back in time, watch any video among "Sexual Revolution," "Armiya sverhu," or "Pro eto" from 2008, in which original group member Oksana Zadorozhnaya (Ksyu) is still in the group. When Ksyu left the group, that left the 4-girl group from "Champion."

6) Now, watch any 2007 video from "My sdelali eto," "Vyzyvayu na boi" or the Aviator clip "Ryzhaya" in which original group member Yulia was still in A.R.M.I.A and visibly pregnant. When she left the group, had her baby, and then joined Dasha Astafieva in NikitA, Sveta was signed to replace Yulia.

Vika Antonova - Poymay menya

Вика Антонова - Поймай Меня

This seems like the best place to start with a playlist of videos by Ukrainian girl group A.R.M.I.A. Once you watch a few of the group's videos, you should recognize the redhead Nastya (purple shirt) and blonde Irina (blue shirt) as two of the dancers in this video. This video was released in 2007, and within the same year these two dancers were in a girl group with three other girls and had already released their first two videos.
