At one time, the popular project "Star Factory" released a lot of talented artists, for whom participation in the competition became a kind of lucky ticket to the world of domestic show business. Dozens of young performers toured the country, performing hits that are still well remembered by the fans of the project. Someone after the "Factory" managed to build a dizzying career, and someone disappeared from sight and began to live an ordinary life in which there was no place for glory, applause and articles in the press. StarHit decided to recall those participants in the Star Factory, whom the whole country once spoke about, but now, speaking of modern pop artists, few will name their names.
The audience remembered this girl well at a very young age. When Alexandra Chvikova appeared in the fourth season of Star Factory, almost every second teenage girl in the country looked up to her. The charming singer sang songs in a very touching manner and on the whole created the impression of a girl from a good family who got a lot of parental love. Plush toys, with which Alexa invariably appeared both on stage and at various shootings for magazines, have become a kind of hallmark of the young performer. The girl in an instant won the hearts of numerous spectators and became an example to follow. It was during the period of Alexa's participation in the vocal competition that the fashion for velor tracksuits of delicate shades, lip gloss to match skin color and a touching image of a romantic person appeared. Many people remember such hits as “Moon Path”, “Where are you” or “I live by you”, performed by 16-year-old Alexandra. In a word, back in 2004, Alexa was literally wildly popular, but after a couple of years, everything ended in an instant. The singer, who was considered promising and very talented, at some point simply disappeared from sight. A few years later, the girl again tried to make herself known in the musical field by signing a contract with Yana Rudkovskaya. With the help of a famous producer, the girl released an album and a video for the song "Vendetta", however, soon this composition, and the entire album, were forgotten by the Russian listener. Many music critics suggested that the failure was due, first of all, to a sharp change in the image of the singer. Alexa appeared before the public as a very liberated girl in short defiant outfits. In addition, the 26-year-old performer turned to the help of plastic surgeons to increase her lips. The image chosen by Alexandra Chvikova did not please the public. Now the Star Factory-4 star lives an ordinary life, which he reports in detail on Instagram. Sometimes a girl even publishes short videos in which she performs world hits, and thereby finds a certain response among subscribers.
In the fourth season of the Star Factory project, the daring Anastasia Kochetkova appeared, who instantly gained popularity among viewers. The daring manner of performing songs and a peculiar voice with a characteristic hoarseness brought Anastasia fame and recognition from the public. For the three months that the TV project lasted, Kochetkova repeatedly demonstrated strength of mind and character. Soon the girl became part of the Banda team, which successfully recorded an album, released video clips and toured the country. In addition, Nastya was the only girl in the team, which also gave her image the features of a sort of hooligan-robber. During one of her performances, the obstinate brunette drew attention to a blue-eyed man who did not take his eyes off her. It turned out to be director Rezo Gigineishvili, who by that time had become famous for his very successful film works. The couple soon formalized their relationship, and in this marriage a girl, Masha, was born. Three years later, Anastasia and Rezo divorced, and since then the girl has practically not been heard from. Not so long ago, however, Kochetkova recorded the song “I am not me” and released a video for it, but she still failed to return her former glory. Now the 26-year-old performer is raising an eight-year-old daughter and practically does not appear in public. In addition, Anastasia stopped communicating with almost all the musicians who could previously be safely called her friends.
The strong voice and piercing performance of Yulia Mikhalchik was remembered by the viewer for the participation of the girl in the third season of "Star Factory". For the sake of participating in a popular project, the young artist even dropped out of her studies at the university. The blond performer fell in love with the audience from the very first reporting concerts. The girl showed herself as a very able-bodied and gifted singer, and in an instant she gained popularity with hits of her own composition. Many visitors to karaoke clubs are still happy to order Mikhalchik's songs "With Ice", "Well hello, Peter" or "White Swan". Yulia herself, after participating in a television show, continued to actively perform at corporate parties and in various concert programs or rock operas for some time. In March 2013, the artist first became a mother, having given birth to her son Alexander, and for some time completely disappeared from sight. True, a little later she nevertheless stated that she did not intend to interrupt her singing career. At the moment, little is known about the life and work of Yulia Mikhalchik. The girl stopped appearing at major events, her songs are heard less and less on the air of domestic radio stations, and the younger generation does not know about her at all. Perhaps, in the foreseeable future, Mikhalchik will loudly declare himself again, but so far she is practically unheard of.
The blue-eyed bully Anton Zatsepin became famous thanks to his participation in the Star Factory-4 project. The blond performed songs in a special manner that set him apart from the rest of the participants, and even won third place. Anton Zatsepin remained popular for several more years, but soon he began to live an ordinary life, in which there was practically no place left for the stage. To sing Anton's hits "Shorter", "Books of Love" and "Broad River", which he presented in a duet with Nadezhda Kadysheva, perhaps everyone who once watched "Star Factory" can. However, at some point, the young artist simply disappeared. Only in 2008, Anton again reminded of himself by releasing a video for the new song "I'm Flying Away", but this did not help him regain his former glory. Zatsepin happily married, became the father of a charming girl Martha and disappeared from the charts. True, the song "Wide River" is still played on Russian Radio from time to time. By the way, in 2004 this composition took first place in the hit parade of this radio station "Golden Gramophone". Last year, Anton Zatsepin once again reminded of himself and released a new song "You Know". The 32-year-old artist signed a contract with the Good People record label and began touring with the Zatsepin. Return". Anton also records new songs, but music critics claim that he gathers at his concerts only those who were once interested in his work. Attract a new audience, according to critics, Zatsepin has not yet succeeded.
Alexandra Balakireva
The little red-haired Alexandra Balakireva was remembered by the audience for her strong voice and bright appearance. Her appearance at the "Star Factory-5" played a significant role in the career of an extravagant vocalist. It was there that the young artist won the audience's love and recognition. In addition, on the TV project, the girl met Victoria Daineko, communication with which grew into a great and strong friendship. A few years after the end of the television show, Balakireva was unable to declare herself as an independent creative unit. For some time there was still a group "Kuba", working in which the girl sang the famous "Cat and Mouse" and "About a Little Boy", but in 2009 the group ceased to exist.
Periodically, Alexandra Balakireva performs at small events, but still does not release new songs. The girl’s plans include recording the first solo album, but for many, the hits that Balakireva sang while being a member of the Star Factory - “I will do everything” or “Engaged with the wind” are still known to many. Alexandra Balakireva can most often be seen at events that are somehow connected with the work of her best friend Victoria Daineko.
At one time, at the casting of the First Channel project "Star Factory-3", Alexander Kireev was noted as a bright performer. The young man performed quite touching love songs, which were written by himself during the period of participation in the competition. The blue-eyed brunette quickly gained popularity and audience love. Images of Kireev were found on school notebooks, in magazine posters, on various key rings and stickers. A photo of this young performer hung on the wall of almost every third teenage girl who watched Star Factory. And under his songs, lovers were spinning in slow dances in children's summer camps. In a word, at the end of the popular TV project, Alexander Kireev was in sight for some time, but soon ceased to appear both at social events and on television. Only occasionally the name of the young artist could be heard when it came to new songs that he wrote for his "factory" comrades. Now Kireev performs extremely rarely. Increasingly, the 34-year-old graduate of the Star Factory declares himself more as a composer than as a singer.
The groovy blonde with a non-standard figure was not immediately noted by the jury. Elena Kukarskaya managed to pass the casting, largely due to the fact that Alla Pugacheva drew attention to her. The prima donna personally insisted that the young performer be taken and given a chance to express herself on the show. During her participation in the Star Factory, Elena performed a lot of songs that firmly entrenched in leading positions in various country charts. Many now willingly sing in karaoke or dance at events to the incendiary hits “Po little”, “Zhu-zhu” or “Pianist”. Already at the end of the project, the young artist fell under the wing of Maxim Fadeev. The famous producer signed a long-term contract with her and wrote many songs for her. For several years, Kukarskaya performed on the same stage with such eminent artists as Soso Pavliashvili, Valery Syutkin, Vitas, Professor Lebedinsky and the Prime Minister group. However, soon the girl began to look for herself in other areas of activity. So, for example, in 2007, Elena announced herself as an aspiring actress, starring in the television series of the MUZ-TV channel “Love is not show business”. And after a couple of years, Elena admitted that she would also like to try her hand at directing. In 2009, the contract of Elena Kukarskaya with the production center of Maxim Fadeev expired, and she set off on a free voyage. The girl is always willingly invited to act as a member of the jury of various beauty contests, where, in fact, most often she can be seen. In September last year, Elena became a mother for the first time, having given birth to her son Fedor. Since then, the 31-year-old artist has completely disappeared from sight. True, it is possible that soon Kukarskaya will decide to re-assert herself and release another hit.
On the radio station "Russian Radio" you can still hear hits performed by Yuri Titov. The graduate of "Star Factory-4" at one time won a special love of the audience and popularity thanks to the songs "Pretty" and "Forever". Many still remember well this modest and at the same time artistic young guy, who brightly declared himself at a popular music competition. True, the creative career of Yuri Titov was interrupted at some point. The musician from time to time made some efforts to re-assert himself, but the glory returned to him for a short time. Most recently, the singer appeared at the casting of the musical project "Main Stage". Yuri made a bet on the jazz performance of the song, which was unusual for him, but still did not pass the selection. Behind the scenes of the show, the music editor of the project Andrey Sergeev jokingly pleaded: “Yura, why do you need this? How long can you go to auditions? “I can’t do it differently, this is a way of life,” Titov answered him.
Among the former manufacturers there are many who decided to try their hand in a different direction. Young singers willingly become composers, actors and models. This happened with Maria Rzhevskaya. The graduate of the "Star Factory" at one time was remembered by the viewer for her own style of performance and a very strange appearance. The girl appeared before the public with extended fangs, thereby creating the image of a vamp girl. The hits “When I become a cat”, “Why did I wait for you” and “Bye-bye” are still well known and remembered by fans of the music competition, but nothing has been heard about Rzhevskaya’s new material for a long time. While the cousin of the "manufacturer" Ksenia Larina actively performs and tours the country as an artist of musicals, Rzhevskaya herself acts in films. Maria has been repeatedly involved in the filming of American short films, and soon the premiere of a full-length film with her participation in the title role is expected. True, the tape "Let the Die Be Cast: Initium" can be attributed more to the art-house cinema. However, like the pictures in which Rzhevskaya played earlier.

Tootsie
The decision to assemble a team of singing graduates of Star Factory-3 was once made by the well-known producer Viktor Drobysh. It was he who initiated the creation of the Tutsi group, which initially included five girls at once: Irina Ortman, Maria Verber, Anastasia Krainova, Olesya Yaroslavskaya and Sofia Kuzmina. True, the daughter of Vladimir Kuzmin left the team even before his debut on stage. Undoubtedly, the song "The Most-Most" has always been the main hit of the Tutsi group. It was she who brought the love and recognition of the audience to the four girls. A little later, the girls released a self-titled album, which was not as successful as expected. For several years, the voices of charming performers sounded on the air of various radio stations exclusively with the song "The Most-Most". With the same hit, singers were invited to corporate parties. Already in 2006, the Tutsi group began to lose popularity. The girls performed with new compositions, about which music critics spoke impartially. Many felt that the girls began to perform songs, the lyrics of which contained a number of jokes, as they say, below the belt. A few years later, the Tootsie group failed to repeat the success of the first hit, and in 2012 the team broke up. True, Irina Ortman and Lesya Yaroslavskaya are still trying to build a solo career, releasing songs and video clips from time to time.
She dreamed of getting into the world of show business, and she succeeded. In 2003, the girl reached the finals of "Star Factory 2". But the popularity of the aspiring star quickly faded. Gradually, everyone forgot about Masha Rzhevskaya. How was her life?
Masha Rzhevskaya: biography
She was born into a family of artists on March 27, 1987 in Moscow. Together with her older sister Xenia, she studied music since childhood. Also among the girls' hobbies were swimming, billiards and tennis. The sisters have two younger brothers, Fedor and Victor.

Every day, classes were held with the participants, and fans were looking forward to the releases of the video diary of the heroes. Masha Rzhevskaya confidently reached the final, but she did not manage to get into the top three.
Solo songs
The compelling image of an aspiring star was a huge success. Her songs "When I become a cat" and "Why did I wait for you" were awarded the rotation of Russian radio stations. Folk love gave these compositions high places in the ranking.
Scandal with the producer
Max Fadeev offered Masha Rzhevskaya long-term cooperation and filming clips for her songs. By that time, she already had several singles in Russian and English.
But there was a serious conflict between the singer and the producer. She left the studio.

At school, Evgenia, because of her obstinate nature, often received scolding from teachers and often brought home offensive deuces. When Rasskazova was 17 years old, she entered the South Ural State University and worked part-time at the same time, speaking at a local club. The next instance in the singer's career was Moscow and participation in a music competition "Our Songs". In 2003, Evgenia got into one of the most popular musical projects − "Star Factory". Bright and incendiary, she nevertheless was not a clear favorite, but the audience loved her. After the end of the project, along with the rest of the participants, she went on a tour of the country, and when she returned, she decided to break the contract with the producer and began to perform solo. In 2007, the singer's first album was released "Ppolife". Second album "ProLoved" combined two styles: pop and rock.

However, after the project, there was a lull in Dmitry's career. He did not record an album, did not give concerts. The reason for this was the search for himself and the stage image with which he would like to appear before the public. In 2008, a music video for the song was released "Single".

At an early age, he was fond of football and learned to play the tenor saxophone. In 1990 he created his first musical group, which mainly performed in local clubs. Cameroon. Soon Pierre moved to Moscow, where at first he lived with his sister. According to Narcissus, it was very difficult for him to get used to the cold Russian winter and the terrible conditions in which he had to live.

She dreamed of being a cat and conquering Russian show business, but it did not work out. Maria Rzhevskaya was born in Moscow, in childhood she was fond of tennis and dreamed of being an actress, but by the will of fate she became a member "Star Factory". Beautiful and a little strange, she won the love of the public and the main producer of the project Maxim Fadeev. During her participation in the "Factory" two songs performed by Maria - "Cat" and "For what"– became real hits. After graduation "Factories" Fadeev took Rzhevskaya under his leadership, she released a video for the song "Cat" and appeared on television with compositions that the public loved. Bright makeup, extended fangs, a peculiar manner of performance - Rzhevskaya was remembered by the audience as such. Flashing for a while, she soon disappeared from the price. It was rumored that the reason was a quarrel with Fadeev, but the details of the conflict remained secret.
Soon Maria married the director of the company "ARS" Vyacheslav Kormiltsev from whom a daughter was born Eliza(12). Rzhevskaya has retired from the stage, is raising her daughter and is trying to fulfill her childhood dream of becoming an actress. The film was released in 2014 Let the Die Be Cast: Initium, filmed by an English director Timothy Reynard(24), starring Maria.
30 years
Lively, charismatic and undoubtedly talented Elena Temnikova became one of the brightest "manufacturers" for the entire time of the existence of this music competition. Since the age of 10, Lena has been making music and participating in various festivals. At the age of 18, she moved from her native Omsk to Moscow to enter the theater school, but ended up on "Star Factory". Temnikova entered the top three finalists and took third place. After the end of the show, the tour began, followed by close cooperation with Maxim Fadeev.
In 2006, Temnikova became the soloist of the group silver. In 2007, the group went to the international music competition "Eurovision-2007". The sexy trio led by Temnikova managed to win only third place. The group was gaining popularity, but in 2009 rumors appeared on the Web about Lena's departure from the team, which were eventually confirmed. In November 2014, she released the first single called "Dependence" and filmed a music video. The next creation was the song "Towards", which was presented in three versions: romantic, dance and acoustic.
As Gurtsky's lawyer Petr Kucherenko told Otvet magazine, on November 17, during negotiations on this issue, Krutoy's deputy Vyacheslav Kormiltsev burst into the office of ARS "in an inadequately excited state." And in obscene form he began to threaten the representatives of the Gurtskaya with physical violence if they insisted on their demands. In response to the lawyer's request to behave politely, Kormiltsev attacked him with his fists and ordered the guards to throw the visitor out of the office. As a result, Kucherenko ended up in the Botkin hospital with a diagnosis of concussion and filed an application with the Begovoe police department demanding that Kormiltsev be held criminally liable.
This is not the first outrage of Deputy Krutoy. Before, he fought with producer Yevgeny Fridlyand, who withdrew his artists from the New Wave contest, having learned that there would be no broadcast on Channel One. He selected the documents and almost by force kept the participant of the "Star Factory-4" Ksyusha Larina, who preferred to tour under the auspices of "ARS" participation in the First Channel show "The Last Hero". Therefore, I was not particularly surprised that Kormiltsev went as far as direct criminality. Another curious thing is the participation in the incident with the lawyer Gurtskaya of the 17-year-old participant in the Star Factory-2, Masha Rzhevskaya (younger sister of Ksyusha Larina), who left the producer Maxim Fadeev with a scandal this summer and became Kormiltsev's cohabitant.
When I left the office, a girl with cloudy eyes ran into me, - said Pyotr Kucherenko. - As a lawyer who studied psychology and criminology, it immediately became clear to me that she was either under the influence of alcohol or drugs. As it turned out later, it was the aspiring singer Maria Rzhevskaya. She screamed that with her false fangs she would gnaw through my throat and gnaw off my genitals, since I had offended her beloved man Kormiltsev. The guards, who wanted to smooth over the conflict, apologized for her, but at that moment Vyacheslav jumped out into the corridor and shouted: “Why haven’t you drunk it yet?! Wrap his hands and get him out of the office!” He ran up and punched me in the face with all his might. I lost my balance and hit my head against the wall. While the guards took me outside, he kept shouting that he would kill me and Robert and Diana. That he and the people behind him have enough resources.
What nonsense?! After all, the media reported back in the summer that Rzhevskaya was pregnant from Kormiltsev, reminds "E-G". So, she is due to give birth soon. It is hard to believe that in the 7-8th month someone will be so intoxicated with alcohol or drugs.
About pregnancy - it's all nonsense! - the mother of Masha Rzhevskaya and Ksyusha Larina, the former actress of the Sovremennik Theater Ekaterina Larina assured me. - And about this history with beating I am not aware. I know Manka from a completely different side. Apparently, it's just some kind of influence. I can give you her mobile. I have no other connection with Masha now. There is also Kormiltsev's phone, but he does not answer it.
Where are you from? What is your question? - the man who answered Masha's mobile began to inquire. - About beating Kucherenko? It's all a made up story. Apparently, someone wants to harm Masha. And she's not expecting a baby. Who are you talking to? It doesn't matter. Goodbye! - and my interlocutor hastily hung up.
And after a while, Masha's mother called me back and asked with concern if I managed to talk with her daughter.
Kormiltsev talked to you, - Ekaterina Vitalievna explained, having learned about the results of my call. - I, too, now tried to call Masha. And he told me not to call again at all and that I could not see Masha. I don't know what to do now. She's a minor child for whom I'm responsible. It has to be pulled out somehow. And then she just disappears next to this person. To be honest, I was very happy when Masha left Max Fadeev. I wanted her to study more than to be in this show business. She was going to enter the theater. I studied for exams and read a lot. But as soon as Kormiltsev appeared, Masha immediately “scored” everything. She met him at some presentation and fell in love. We were all shocked! But it was useless to say anything to her. From the very beginning, our relationship with Kormiltsev was not easy. He definitely needs to fight with someone, to sue. He even started a lawsuit with my eldest daughter. Fortunately, everything ended well. But because of this, our relationship with Masha finally deteriorated. What is happening can only be explained by Masha's strange dependence on Kormiltsev, possibly drug addiction. One could turn for help to the same Max Fadeev. But it seems to me that he will never trample on Kormiltsev. And I do not want to connect organs here. It will only get worse. In general, it's a shame. We will gather strength and the whole family to think about how to get out of this situation ...
After talking with Vyacheslav Kormiltsev and other employees of the ARS company, strange metamorphoses occurred not only with Masha Rzhevskaya. In particular, Anton Zatsepin, a participant in the Star Factory-4, completely “blew the roof off”. It got to the point that he broke up with his wife Lyuba Khvorostinina, with whom he did not live even two months. And what is most interesting is that drugs also appeared in this story (“EG” No. 43, 2004). According to producer Yevgeny Orlov, many participants of Factory-4 sit on them. One involuntarily gets the impression that Igor Krutoy and his henchmen can no longer force the artists to cooperate with their company except with the help of drugs and massacre.

Not so long ago, the TV project "Star Factory" was very popular with the audience, many of us actively discussed it, shared our impressions about the new participants.
"Factory" gave us a lot of talented performers who have pleased us with their creativity for a long time. However, not everyone is lucky enough to take a place under the sun. And not all of those who climbed the musical Olympus were able to stay on its top.
Today we will try to remember the one-day stars who have shone for a long time and disappeared from the stages and television screens.
Alexa
The audience remembered this charming singer for her participation in the fourth season of the Star Factory project. Back in 2004, Alexandra Chvikova was only 16. She conquered everyone with her image of a little innocent girl. Sasha appeared on stage with soft toys, which became her hallmark.
After some time, she disappeared from sight, but soon tried to return to the stage. She didn't succeed. The public did not like her new image of a whore: short skirts and bright makeup.
Anastasia Kochetkova
This participant of the "Star Factory-4" captivated the audience with the image of a daring tomboy. Aggressive behavior and a slight hoarseness relished the public. Nastya even became a member of the Banda group, where she was the only girl.
Soon she met the director Rezo Gigineishvili and married him. Marriage cut short her career, attempts to return were unsuccessful. Now Anastasia lives a normal life.
Julia Mikhalchik
Artistry and a strong voice have become the hallmark of this young singer. For the sake of participating in the "Star Factory-3", she even dropped out of her studies at the university. Hard work and diligence helped the artist build a successful career. Mikhalchik's songs "With Ice", "Well hello, Peter" or "White Swan" began to be ordered in karaoke.
However, after the birth of her son, Julia disappeared from the stage. The singer preferred her family to her own career. Maybe it's for the best.
Anton Zatsepin
The blue-eyed guy quickly became the idol of millions of girls, quickly bursting into the world of show business. The finalist of "Star Factory-4" released the hits "Shorter", "Books of Love" and "Broad River". In 2004, one of his songs even took first place in the hit parade. "Russian radio" entitled "Golden Gramophone Award".
Then Anton got married and had a daughter. The break in his career negatively affected his popularity. Now the artist is trying to regain its former glory, but fails.
Alexandra Balakireva
The little red-haired girl excelled in the Star Factory-5 project, which gave her hope for a career as a singer. It was there that she met Victoria Dainenko. But Alexandra failed to become really famous. Now she can be seen with Victoria, but she is like a shadow that follows on the heels of a celebrity.
Alexander Kireev
Sasha is a classic example of a one-day star. As a member of the "Star Factory-3", he gained popularity. Teenagers bought posters and notebooks with his image, circled in dance to the songs performed by him.
However, his success did not last long. After the end of the project, Kireev disappeared from sight and did not appear on stage again.
Elena Kukarskaya
The extraordinary blonde did not particularly like the leadership of the Star Factory, but she herself Alla Pugacheva insisted on the approval of her candidacy. And she didn’t lose - Elena pleased the audience with incendiary hits “Little”, “Zhu-zhu” or “Pianist”. Later she performed with Soso Pavliashvili, Valery Syutkin, Vitas, Professor Lebedinsky and the Prime Minister group.
Myself Maxim Fadeev wrote songs for her. At the end of the contract with the famous producer, Kukarskaya began to appear on stage less often, and after the birth of her son, she completely stopped her musical career.
Yuri Titov
The graduate of "Star Factory-4" became famous thanks to his songs "Pretty" and "Forever", which were at the top of the charts of Russian radio stations. Having enjoyed fleeting fame, Yuri could not gain a foothold on the stage. The guy still comes to the auditions of various music shows. But even there, luck bypasses him.
Maria Rzhevskaya
Masha has an extraordinary appearance and a pleasant voice, which became her weapon in the fight for a place in the project. She failed to build a musical career, so she tried to find herself in other areas.
Now she is actively acting in American arthouse films.
Tootsie
Producer Viktor Drobysh came up with the idea to gather the participants of the "Star Factory-3" within one team. This is how the Tutsi group appeared, which initially included five girls at once: Irina Ortman, Maria Verber, Anastasia Krainova, Olesya Yaroslavskaya and Sofia Kuzmina.
They fired a single hit called "The Most-Most". Their other songs have been subjected to terrible criticism from music experts. The group did not last long, and after that the girls stopped appearing in public.
This is how one-day stars go out. It is very difficult to get into modern show business, and staying there is even more difficult. These talented guys shot once, but could not offer the public something new that could arouse their interest.
It is known that genius is only 10% of talent and 90% of work. Looks like these artists didn't work hard enough.
