Used to cooperate with the group «Butterfly Temple» (1996), also played in her own project.
In 1998, Xenia gave birth to a daughter, Eugene. After recording «Veles» and «Wheel of Chernobog» Xenia leaves the project due to serious illness of her mother.
In 2002 she returns to «Butterfly Temple» and takes part in recording of their album «Path of Blood to the Will of the Kind».
