Prokhor Chaliapin

"Star Factory-6" (2006)

Another brawler of the project is Andrei Zakharenkov, who took the pseudonym Prokhor Chaliapin. Thus, the artist tried to “become close” to the famous opera singer Fyodor Chaliapin. Despite his ambitions (the artist tried to perform abroad and graduated from Gnesinka), his songs never became national property, but Prokhor made a name for himself through noisy stories. In 2007, he decided to refuse the services of producer Viktor Drobysh and did this in full view of the whole country, accusing the composer of non-payment of royalties. In 2013, the singer married businesswoman Larisa Kopenkina, who was 27 years older than the singer. The public immediately dubbed the marriage a misalliance, but Chaliapin was flattered by any attention: he published in in social networks candid photos with his wife and swore true love to her on various talk shows. Not having time to get a divorce, Chaliapin started new novel— in 2014, he announced a relationship with model Anna Kalashnikova. The celebrities became the parents of their first child named Daniel in March 2015, but a year later it became known that the boy’s father was Anna’s former lover. Anya admitted that she became pregnant from another man at the very beginning of her relationship with Prokhor, but did not lose hope of becoming the artist’s wife. On May 24, 2016, when the luxurious wedding of Prokhor and Anya was supposed to take place, the would-be bride came to wedding dress to the Kutuzovsky registry office and arranged a photo shoot there, but the deceived groom never showed up.

Polina Gagarina

Winner of “Star Factory-2” (2003)

After the end of the second “Star Factory” it was unfairly forgotten. The girl was not even accepted to Eurovision, although the organizers of the Factory promised that the winner of the show would automatically represent Russia at the competition. It took the singer four years to re-establish herself. The long silence had the best effect on the star’s image: she lost weight, changed her image, hired Konstantin Meladze as a producer and released two successful albums. Finally, the performer’s long-time dream came true - she took part in Eurovision and brought Russia second place.

There have also been noticeable changes in Gagarina's personal life. An unsuccessful marriage with actor Pyotr Kislov, from whom the girl gave birth to a son, ended two years later.

Timati

"Star Factory-4" (2004)

Timati (according to his passport Timur Yunusov) is one of the most controversial personalities of the Star Factory.

The image of the singer also raises doubts. Either he plays a gentleman in a GQ video and takes a selfie with the president of the country, or he attracts attention with scandalous antics, for example, accusing Dima Bilan of non-traditional sexual orientation and drug addiction.

Today Timati has his own production company, from which came the musicians Kristina Si, L’One and Yegor Creed, and the design label Black Star, he acts in films and conquers Western show business.

Factory "Red October": history

The founder of this country's most famous sweets manufacturer is Ferdinand Theodor von Einem. This German entrepreneur came to Moscow to start his own business in 1850. In 1957, Einem met his future companion in Russia, the talented businessman Yu. Geis. First, the partners founded a small confectionery store on Teatralnaya Square. Later they began construction of their own factory on the banks of the Moscow River.

The first three-story building was built by entrepreneurs on Sofiyskaya Embankment. Then businessmen built a larger factory on Bersenevskaya Embankment. The company of Yu. Geis and Einem produced very high quality products. First of all, it was precisely because of this that it soon became extremely in demand among consumers.

For a long time, the Einem enterprise was considered the best confectionery factory in Russia. After October revolution it was nationalized and named “State Confectionery Factory No. 1.” In 1922, the plant was renamed “Red October”. But for a long time, the products produced at this enterprise bore the name “Former Einem.”

Today "Red October" is the largest confectionery factory in Russia, which has accumulated vast experience in the production of sweets. It supplies 64 thousand tons of products per year to the domestic and world markets. There are 2.9 thousand workers working in the factory’s workshops. The main plant is still located in the capital. The company also has several branches - in Kolomna, Ryazan, Yegoryevsk.
