At first, the "Factory" also included Maria Alalykina, but very soon she got married and gave up music.
The girls got off to a very good start. More than 200 concerts were given as part of the Final in Your City tour.

The girls' second album was released in 2008. The disc called “We are so different” turned out to be extremely successful. In the same year, Fabrika released the collection Best and Favorite.

October 13, 2002 – many remember this date as start of the first of its kind Russian music show " Star Factory"! Their reporting concerts riveted the audience to the screens every Friday, millions of fans purred their songs under their breath, and stadiums gathered stadiums around the country. Let's remember all the participants of the first " Star factories and find out what happened to the people's favorites, how and how they live today. I warn you right away that this is only the first part, so wait for the continuation tomorrow!
Maria Alalykina (32)
Inconspicuous nine-story building on the outskirts Moscow is strikingly different from the apartments where the current members of the group “ Factory". Masha lives a solitary life, and her mother answers the calls of journalists in a tired voice Svetlana. “We are tired of attention and constant calls,” the woman admitted. - Masha will not communicate with you, and I do not have time. The case is unrelenting. And in general, my dinner is burning down. Maria does not come into contact with the press, and her life is more like a life of a recluse, which is surprising, because at a young age she won beauty contests (“ Beauty of Russia”) and her pictures were published in a popular men's magazine.
Maria Alalykina was a versatile person and tried herself not only in music, but also in dancing (for some time she danced in the show ballet " Todes"). Only she quickly became bored, uninteresting, and she was looking for something big. Even in the project Star Factory The girl's euphoria quickly dissipated. She wanted to convey her thoughts to the public through songs. But instead, she sang what they said, in the composition in which they ordered. In addition, at Masha had serious learning problems. She was threatened with expulsion from the university. Therefore, she made a firm decision to leave the group - two months after the creation, having managed to star in a single video for the song " About love". Soon Masha married a businessman Alexey Zuenko, gave birth to a daughter Katya, returned to university and rehabilitated at a jazz college. It would seem that life is getting better. In addition, the changes affected not only family life Mary. She became a Muslim! There were rumors that it was the husband who influenced the girl in this decision. Herself Alalykina She said more than once that she converted to Islam of her own free will. Moreover, in one of the interviews, she said that faith helped her to improve relations with her parents.
Unfortunately, happiness and harmony in her family did not reign for long. The calendar was 2008 when Maria introduced her husband to her ill-fated girlfriend. On the picture Maria, to your surprise, on the right, and in the arms of her husband is the same lovebird. Later in the web diary Mary an entry will appear: “... My best friend, along with my beloved (former, if you turn your tongue to talk about love in the past), were seen by me gently walking by the hand. I personally introduced them two months before in Sevastopol. And helped them to get closer spiritually. I still love both. But it’s hard to get used to the thought ... ”In that difficult period Alalykin fired from work linguistic center at MSLU, which she herself completed at one time. According to Masha, the reason for this was the scarf in which she went to class.
Now Maria or Maryam, as she calls herself, keeps her diary in " livejournal” and is engaged in translations for Muslim sites. She knows 6 languages: 5 European and Arabic. From colleagues on " Star Factory» communicates only with Sati Casanova(32) and regularly congratulates her on all Muslim holidays.
Mikhail Grebenshchikov (39)
Who doesn't remember this fiery guy? From his songs it was impossible to stand still, and the legs in the "orange boots" went dancing. Graduate Voronezh Assembly College and a student of the local journalism faculty, who served in the border troops, a DJ " Russian radio”, a collector of beer mugs, an entrepreneur himself and a man who put his whole life into building an unforgettable image of a crazy merry fellow - all this Mikhail Grebenshchikov! Among the participants of the first Star factories He stood out for a rare zest for life and seemed to really enjoy every day spent on the reality show. And the audience loved it too. Michael – the artist has long been in the lead in the Internet voting and eventually won the third place. But ahead of Michael not at all more talented and independent soloists - in such a battle he would certainly have defeated anyone. Furnished dashing guy production projects " Roots" and "Factory».
As before, Michael- this is a person who makes an action out of every step of his life, out of two - a performance, out of running on the spot - a meaningful artistic gesture. At the same time, it doesn’t matter what he really does: he sits in an Indian costume at a youth culture festival in Vladivostok, acts as a referee in a Russian TV series or advises pouring dill water on Channel One. Brand " Mikhail Grebenshchikov'Stands firmly on its feet. Now he can produce "manufacturers" himself, argue like an adult with his former producer Igor Matvienko(55) and even teach young talents.
In the photo, the ill-fated sheepskin coat
True, sometimes scandals shake him. One of them took place in February of this year, when Michael accused of stealing a sheepskin coat. Grebenshchikov, as well as other celebrities, were invited to the opening of the fur salon and, according to him, this coat was given as a gift. The artist even thanked the owners of the salon for such a generous offering into the microphone. But he did not have time to cross the threshold of the store, as he was stopped by security and demanded to take off his sheepskin coat. When Michael nevertheless, he left in his new clothes, the store owners contacted its administrator and demanded that the valuable thing be returned, otherwise they would contact the police. Michael laughed it off and returned their “gift” to the salon.
As you know, now he is a musical creative producer in Alla Pugacheva's children's school of professional creative development (66) Future Star. Grebenshchikov is also an employee Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation, and he is a frequent guest at parties in the capital, where he plays his DJ sets. And you probably remember the twins who appeared in the video Mikhail Grebenshchikov. He subsequently married one of them and is now raising two lovely daughters.
Jam Sheriff (40)
In project " Star Factory» Jam Sheriff(full name Jam Sheriff Musa) attracted attention not only for his extraordinary appearance, but also for his talent. In 2005 the name Jema again sparkled in the media, as his duet with Elena Terleeva(30) won the first semi-final " Eurovision". Their track No more war showed how much Star Factory' is popular with the people. After all Jam And Lena, having completed their participation in the project, almost did not appear on television and nevertheless received more audience votes than Anastasia Stotskaya(32) and (33). Few people know, but Star factories» Jam Sheriff worked as a consultant in a private Moscow clinic.
2005 was for Jema Sheriff intense: he participated in the television reality show " Last Hero”, True, he failed to carry away the cash trophy.
Now Jam went into directing and thoroughly engaged in his education in this area. “My way out is directing, because I see words and music in pictures and feel my own stories,” the artist said. He recently graduated First National School of Television and received a diploma of the second higher education in the specialty " TV director».
director's path Sheriff develops more or less successfully. His thesis " Moscow is my love» in the comedy genre was nominated as the best foreign film at the prestigious Short Film Festival in australia.
Pavel Artemiev (32)
Even those who were not fans of the project remember his curly hair and charming burriness. Star Factory». Pavel Artemiev became one of the most popular "manufacturers", and his name was replicated by all Russian media. Let me remind you that the group Roots» won first place in the final of the popular music show Channel One and for many years collected halls and stadiums throughout the country. From the very beginning, Pavel understood that participation in the group was a temporary stage, so he did not stay in the team for a long time. After his departure in 2010, he said: "It was a great experience, but I never saw myself in this group at 40."
Now Paul continues to make music. He gives solo concerts, the last of them, by the way, took place not so long ago, on September 10, in a Moscow bar " Muses Pub».
Pavel Artemiev decided not to go in cycles only in music. He also tries himself on the theater stage, although he does not have a professional education, to enter an acting university. Paul not planning yet. Artemiev believes that each of his performances, each role in the film is his university, the practice that hones his facets as an artist. Today Paul plays in the performances of the Moscow theater " Practice"and is the ideological leader and soloist of the group Artemiev. Pavel Artemiev and his band are frequent guests at various festivals and clubs Moscow And Petersburg.
For fans of the charming Paul there is a separate reason for joy: Channel One launched the series " Tatyana's night", Where Artemiev plays one of the main roles.
Julia Buzhilova (32)
Julia Buzhilova, participant of the first Star factories", called the new Linda(38) and compared with Renata Litvinova(48). The producers predicted a great future for her, fans eagerly listened to her music.
Today, the girl who once successfully got on TV does not appear either in the charts or in the materials of the yellow press. She disappeared as suddenly as she appeared.
At one of the reporting concerts of the first " Factories" song " sleep", written Buzhilova, conquered everyone: project participants, producers, and fans. Igor Matvienko(55) then realized that he made the right choice by inviting a young girl to the casting of a popular reality show. Buzhilova and the famous producer have known each other for a long time. After graduation Kyiv Musical College and touring Ukraine Julia turned to him. Matvienko saw real talent and charisma in her and offered to go to " Star Factory».
Buzhilova, unlike other manufacturers, instead of cheap shocking, love scenes and constant scandals, she chose the image of a mysterious and enigmatic singer. Even on the Internet, little can be found about her.
"Fabrikantka" Buzhilovaalways dreamed of being popular, but never wanted to be a star. She herself wrote poetry and music, but for some reason neither the producerMatvienko, nor million rubles donatedChannel Oneaspiring singer after the project, they didn’t help her. Many believed thatJuliathis million went to pull, and not for talent. Be that as it may, we did not hear new songs and albums for which that same million rubles was allocated. By the way, now the producer does not really know anything about his former ward.
“No one gave me a million,” saidJulia- I was given a huge piece of paper on which was written "million". I still have it at home somewhere. At one time I joked that I would go to the store with her and give it to the seller, like a coupon for groceries in Soviet times.
It is known that Julia Buzhilovamarried a sound engineer and became a mother. She does not advertise her personal life. Tired of waiting for support fromIgor Matvienko,
Juliainstead of a solo career and the love of millions of fans, she chose the love of one person and, apparently, did not lose. She writes lyrics forVicki Daineko(28) and the group " Factory”, but his hands never reached his solo album. NowBuzhilovadreams of creating an anti-feminist movement, building the safest plane in the world and learning German, Bulgarian and Polish. May her dreams come true!
Alexander Astashenok (33)
Alexander Astashenok we remember him as one of the members of the popular group " Roots". The team existed for a long time after the end of the project " Star Factory", but the collapse was inevitable when, following the departure of the frontman Pavel Artemyev left the group Astashenok. But don't worry Alexander until now in creativity, he did not see his future in music and took up training in acting. Astashenok graduated from the acting department GITIS and began to perform on the theater stage. Friendship from Roots” grew into friendship in the theater. Alexander shared the stage Russian theater With Pavel Artemiev in the production " Until the death separates us…».
Astashenok greedy for roles, so he tries himself not only in the theater, but also on television. In addition to feature films (" While still alive») Alexander starred in television series. If you are a fan closed school”, then you probably remember the secret agent, whom you embodied on the screen Astashenok. The role of his dream is James Bond. Alexander Astashenok does not give up music lessons, although now he writes it not for his solo album, but for the films in which he starred, or for other performers, while acting as a composer and producer.
Konstantin Dudoladov (39) is not singing and music at all, but style and makeup. Many believed that the project " Star Factory» Konstantin, a native of finds, got due to its bright appearance. Anything can be, because this appearance rescued him more than once! Once in the capital without a penny, Konstantin I had to earn my living somehow, and there was little choice. Dudoladov worked as a stripper in Russian troika" And " firebird”, worked as a model, but with his outrageous antics he once disrupted the show, and after that he stopped receiving invitations ...
He realized that he needed to move on, since the miserable $ 20 that he was given for a shift “at the pole” could not feed a person in an expensive metropolis. At the moment when from the project " Star Factory» ran away Zhanna Cherukhina(32), many in the secular crowd already knew Constantine. The organizers had to urgently look for a replacement for the vacant seat. And the tall blond with a charming smile approached like no one else. His appearance was bright, the image was memorable. But after the final show Star factories» fans have not heard a single track from Dudoladova and did not see a single clip with his participation. The guy completely disappeared from the screens and from the rotations.
Konstantin I decided to return to where I started - to style and make-up. And he has been very successful. Today Konstantin Dudoladov is the owner of a network of salons " Eco Beauty Service DUDO”, and he is also an image maker and exclusive stylist. He has a 15-year-old son, and he dreams of opening a couple of shops in Tokyo, because he believes that he sews clothes for such freaks as the Japanese.
As part of the Star Factory, a lot of exciting musical groups arose, and many participants became famous, not least thanks to the project. Sharp-eyed producers immediately snatched up outstanding artists and created teams almost from scratch.
In 2002, the women's group was organized by the eminent producer Igor Matvienko. Already in the first year of its existence, the Fabrika group took second place in the almost eponymous project Star Factory. The group continues to work to this day, but for 16 years the composition of the participants has changed several times.
Maria Alalykina
A lot of time has passed since the days when Maria, without any hesitation, appeared in public in revealing clothes and with bright makeup. She was a member of the group from the very beginning, but just a year later she left the group, got married and converted to Islam in 2003.
Sati Casanova
If we talk about the participants who brought the greatest contribution to the group, first of all, I remember Sati Casanova. Bright, beautiful and undoubtedly talented, Sati made the Fabrika group unique. Take only the 2008 hit "I'm Not Guilty".
In 2010, Sati leaves the group and sings alone. It is worth recognizing that Casanova's solo career is quite successful - her voice has long been loved by many, so it is not difficult for her to collect stadiums.
Sati is married to an Italian photographer Stefano Tiozzo, and their wedding is rightfully considered one of the loudest in the XXI century. The newlyweds walked several times: both in Italy and at home.
Catherine Lee
Katya Li, who replaced Casanova, was in the team from 2010 to 2013. She would not have left the "Factory" if she had not had health problems. During the filming of the music video for "Don't Be Born Beautiful," Lee injured her spine due to multiple takes of horseback riding.
The actress simply could not tour, because she had to be constantly in front of the attending physicians. Ekaterina announced her retirement, now she is rehabilitating, playing sports and simply enjoying life.
Alexandra Popova
Igor Matvienko quickly found a replacement for Ekaterina in the person of Alexandra Popova, because the latter was suitable in all respects - young age, model appearance, short stature and a slender figure.
Now Alexandra, together with the group, is recording studio albums and performing songs. The band's compositions are still in demand - they are often heard on music channels, and on Youtube their clips collect millions of views!
Irina Toneva
Toneva- one of the two participants who were in the "Factory" from the very beginning and remain faithful to the team to this day. In 2016, she announced the beginning of a solo career, still remaining a member of the Factory, thanks to which she gained popularity.
Irina first got married at the age of 39. Her chosen one was a dancer Alexey Brizha, with whom Toneva secretly got married in 2017.
Alexandra Savelyeva
In addition to the Fabrika group, in which Savelyeva has been participating for 16 years, Alexandra is engaged in a solo career. Like it or not, a lot of time has passed since 2002, and not all fans know that the group exists to this day and has retained part of the original lineup.
"Star Factory-7" (2007)
Margarita Gerasimovich (Dakota's real name) and Vlad Sokolovsky met at the Star Factory, but then their relationship was friendly, especially since after graduation both went to their projects. Vlad performed for three years as part of the BiS group, and Rita had (and still has) the Monroe team. "Factory" Wedding took place last summer in Moscow.
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 related" with the famous opera singer Fyodor Chaliapin. Despite his ambitions (the artist tried to perform abroad and graduated from Gnesinka), his songs never became public 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 it in full view of the whole country, accusing the composer of non-payment of fees. 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 candid pictures with his wife on social networks and swore true love to her on various talk shows. Not having time to get a divorce, Chaliapin started a new romance - in 2014, he announced a relationship with model Anna Kalashnikova. 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 is 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 chic wedding of Prokhor and Anya was to take place, the unfortunate bride came in a wedding dress to the Kutuzovsky registry office and arranged a photo session there, but the deceived groom never showed up.

Polina Gagarina
Winner of "Star Factory-2" (2003)
After the end of the second "Star Factory" was unfairly forgotten. The girl was not even taken 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 reassert herself. A long silence had the best effect on the image of the star: she lost weight, changed her image, took Konstantin Meladze as a producer and released two successful albums. Finally, the long-time dream of the performer came true - she participated in Eurovision and brought Russia second place.
In the personal life of Gagarina, there have also been noticeable changes. An unsuccessful marriage with actor Peter Kislov, from whom the girl gave birth to a son, ended two years later. In the fall of 2014, the singer again went down the aisle. This time, the photographer Dmitry Iskhakov became the chosen one of the artist.
Elena Temnikova
"Star Factory-2" (2003)
Lena Temnikova gained popularity thanks to the Serebro group led by Max Fadeev. The modest girls who performed in black and white dresses at the Eurovision Song Contest in 2007 (the girls took third place) quickly turned into brawlers, each clip and appearance of which was accompanied by a nudity. In 2014, Lena, tired of Fadeev's dictatorship, left the group. The singer began a solo career and improved her personal life: in June 2014, she married businessman Dmitry Sergeyev and gave birth to a daughter, Alexandra.
Timati
"Star Factory-4" (2004)
Timati (according to Timur Yunusov's passport) is one of the most controversial personalities of the Star Factory. Questions begin with the very fact of the artist's participation in the show: why does a rap artist familiar with American producers need the Russian pop project "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 being gay and drug addicted.
Today, Timati has his own production company, from which musicians Kristina Si, L'One and Yegor Creed came out, and the design label Black Star, he acts in films and conquers Western show business.
The personal life of the golden boy is also in full view. Timati changed his status as a womanizer to paternity - his ex-girlfriend Alena Shishkova gave him a daughter, Alice.
Pierre Narcisse
"Star Factory-2" (2003)
The glory of Pierre Narcisse began with the hit "Chocolate Bunny". However, this song has become the only noticeable in the work of the Cameroonian singer. Further references to the artist's name are associated with his wife Valeria Kalacheva. An ideal marriage and a jointly acquired daughter turned into family quarrels. The wife repeatedly accused Pierre of assault and filed for divorce in 2009, but the couple later reconciled.
Irina Dubtsova
Winner of "Star Factory-4" (2004)
Unlike his colleagues, Artemiev has not decided on his wife. The artist constantly comes out, accompanied by new girlfriends.
Victoria Dayneko
Winner of "Star Factory-5" (2004)
The solo career of Vika Daineko, to the envy of her colleagues, has developed in the best possible way. Immediately after the show, Igor Matvienko began to collaborate with the singer, under whose auspices the singles "I'll just leave you right away", "The film is not about love", "Needle" were recorded. In 2011, the girl took part in the project “Star Factory. Return ”, where she competed with project graduates from different years. Victoria won this competition as well.
Things were sadder on the personal front. Novels with singers Pasha Artemyev, Dmitry Pakulichev and Alexei Vorobyov ended a few months later, leaving the girl with nothing. But in this area, Daineko managed to win up. In April last year, Victoria became a happy wife, having played a wedding with musician Dmitry Kleiman. Now a daughter is growing in the family, whose name the artist hides.
Cornelia Mango
"Star Factory-7" (2007)
fotoimedia / Grigory Shelukhin
Unlike other graduates, Cornelia Mango made a name for herself not through a solo career and a romantic story, but through the fight against excess weight. The girl always said that her exotic appearance (Tatar-Portuguese genes were mixed in the star's pedigree) was the subject of controversy. To fit into the standards, the girl actively took care of herself and lost 10 kilograms. On the Internet, you can find different ways to lose weight from Cornelia: from participating in TV shows and communicating with eminent nutritionists to sports exercises and various diets.
In the personal life of the singer, everything also fell into place. After a series of unsuccessful novels, the artist married musician Bogdan Dyurdya.
Natalia Podolskaya
"Star Factory-5" (2004)
Natalya releases a single every year, but the relationship with Vladimir Presnyakov Jr. is of much more interest to the public.

About all members of the Fabrika group
The history of the group began on the reality show "Star Factory", the broadcasts of which took place during prime time on the country's main TV channel. The producers had two tasks: to find talented and bright performers and make them Russian pop stars. The boys and girls who successfully passed the casting settled in a country mansion. For several months they were under the watchful eye of the cameras. The best vocal teachers, choreographers, make-up artists and stylists worked with them. Every week at the reporting concert, one participant left the show. But Maria Alalykina, Alexandra Savelyeva, Irina Toneva and Sati Kazanova managed to reach the final. It was within the framework of the project that their hits “Oh, yes” and “About love” were first heard.
After the end of the show, as part of the promotional tour, they performed over 200 concerts, which further increased their rising popularity. The song "About Love" lasted in the country's charts for more than 26 weeks and was awarded the "Stop Hit" award.
On November 5, 2003, the debut album of the Factory group, Factory Girls, was released, consisting of 12 songs. The second album "We are so different" appeared on the shelves in 2008. Both critics and the public constantly noted the attractive appearance of the participants, and the girls themselves repeatedly participated in photo sessions for men's magazines.
The peak of popularity came in 2003-2008. But when the "factory" fever ended, the Factory group retained its line-up and continued to actively tour, record new singles and take part in large-scale concerts and events. The team has repeatedly received the Golden Gramophone statuette awards, the prestigious Glamor and One Stop Hit awards, and the Factory's soloists regularly appeared in the official lists of the most beautiful women. Thanks to a successful start at the Star Factory, the group has existed on the stage for more than fifteen years, and even the departed soloists were able to build successful solo careers and not go beyond the horizon of glory.

IRINA TONEVA
Irina was born in 1977 on July 27 in the small military town of Krasnoznamensk near Moscow. The girl showed a talent for music early, so her parents enrolled her in a music school. When the physical education teacher noted Ira's excellent plasticity, sports and ballroom dancing were added to the list of hobbies.
In the final grades, Irina became seriously interested in chemistry, so after school she went to study as a chemist-technologist at the Moscow University of Design and Technology. The music did not let go, and the famous Gnesinka (pop vocal department) became Irina's second "alma mater". Later she performed as a soloist in a military band, and in the fall of 2002 she appeared at the first Star Factory. Of her most striking performances on a reality show, one can note the victory in the confrontation with Vitas and the duet with Pavel Artemiev on the song "You Understand", which instantly appeared in the rotation of most radio stations.
Despite the frequent change of lineups, Irina is still devoted to the Fabrika group. But still, she draws attention to other creative directions. After graduating from the acting school of German Sidakov in 2013, she began to appear on the silver screen (the films Cinderella, Snow Angel, Women on the Edge and Hello, I'm your dad!). The debut of her career as an actress was the experimental theatrical production "The Tale of Sonechka", in which she played Marina Tsvetaeva and two more male roles.
SASHA SAVELYEVA
Alexandra was born in Moscow on December 25, 1983. Her dad was a candidate of physical and mathematical sciences, so the family did not think that Sasha would connect his life with music. As a child, the girl was engaged in figure skating under the guidance of the famous coach Irina Moiseeva and was even enrolled in the Olympic reserve group. At the age of five, Sasha was enrolled in a music class. She studied flute and piano and performed talentedly at the conservatories in Moscow, the Kremlin and the Palace of Congresses.
When faced with a choice between sports and music, Alesandra chose a career in music. Simultaneously with classes at the theater and music school, there were performances together with the Kuvichki ensemble. After school, she gave documents to the Gnessin School and the School. Schnittke. Both institutions were glad to accept Alexandra as their student, but she chose Gnesinka, within the walls of which she organized her first musical group.
While participating in the Star Factory talent show, real fame came to the girl. In addition, Sasha Savelyeva often appears in the "One Hundred Most Beautiful People of Moscow" rating, participates in photo sessions for the popular tabloids "Playboy", "XXL", "Maxim", "Penguin". It is she who is the author of many of the group's compositions, and there is talk of the beginning of her solo career.
The girl's personal life is not particularly advertised. For some time she met with figure skater Alexei Yagudin, whom she met on the Ice Age project. In 2010, she married Kirill Safonov, who played the main male role in the sensational film Tatyana's Day.
Maria's creative career ended abruptly. One of the most promising members of the "Factory" suddenly disappeared from the stage. Many fans are still worried about the question of where the girl disappeared and what she is doing now.
Maria was born on April 27, 1983 in Moscow. She always aspired to publicity and creativity, was fond of singing and dancing. In 2001, Masha won the beauty of Russia. Alalykina got to the "Star Factory" by accident, having come there with her younger sister. Surprisingly, her sister could not pass the selection due to her age, and Masha easily became a full-fledged participant in the project and fell under the tutelage of experienced and famous producers and musicians.
The whole country followed the development of the girl's career. Bright, self-confident, with a strong character, she easily became everyone's favorite. And her romance with a project participant and future soloist of the Roots group attracted even more attention to Maria.
After the final, the participants went on a tour around the country. Their performances gathered full houses, but the girl suddenly disappeared. As it turned out later, she was not satisfied with the format in which she had to work. Popularity, a stage, appearances on magazine covers are good, but unloved songs and costumes, a career in a group, and not solo - this was not what Maria dreamed of. In addition, she began to have problems with the university, which refused to certify a student who missed entire semesters. Parents put study in a priority and insisted on leaving the group.
At first, Maria thought that she was leaving show business only for a while. But then she met her first lover, a successful and wealthy lawyer Alexei Zuenko, and decided to concentrate on family life. Following her husband, she converted to Islam and changed her name to Maryam, wearing a hijab after the wedding. Now performances in revealing outfits in front of an audience, a considerable part of which consisted of men, have become unacceptable for her.
In marriage, Maria gave birth to a daughter, but her husband left her for her close friend. The family broke up. Currently, there are many rumors around her life. Some argue that she lives in her parents' house, and the father is raising the child. According to others, she remarried a Muslim and left the metropolis for a small village near Dagestan.

Then she tried herself as a restaurateur, opening the Kilim establishment, specializing in Azerbaijani, Uzbek and Arabic cuisine. The restaurant lasted less than a year, bringing Sati only losses. In 2015, the musical community nevertheless recognized Casanova as a solo singer. The girl became the owner of the Audience Choice Award from the Soundtrack music award and received two Golden Gramophones.
