She began her career in musical theatre, studying at the Gnesinskaya Academy in Odesa, Ukraine, under director Matvei Osherovskiy [ru], where she was repeatedly rejected for record contracts.

The majority of the songs on the album were written by authors who were virtually unknown in the Russian music scene.

The Celtic influence on Varvara during her travels to Ireland resulted in the song "Two Sides of the Moon" for her second album, Blizhe, which was released in March 2003.

Most of the songs for "Blizhe" were recorded at the "Bratia Grimm" studio in Russia, and were released by ARS-Records.

On October 18, 2005 Varvara released third album, Gryozy ("Dreams") on Grammophone Music, in 2005 which enjoyed much success in Russian.
