Svetlana Stepankovskaya

She is member of the Russian girl-group Mobilnye Blondinki. She joined in late January 2011 as the "zapasnaya solistika" ("standby" or "auxiliary member"), where, as Mariya Kiseleva before her had done throughout 2009, she functioned as an understudy, an informal sixth member who could fill in when necessary. She soon became a full member when Yulia Timonina-Houghtaling left in April 2011 to spend more time with her family.
