Fabrika Zvyozd

Fabrika Zvyozd (Russian: Фабрика звёзд, literally Star Factory) is a Russian television show that aired on Channel One from 2002 until 2011. It is the Russian version of the Endemol format Operación Triunfo.

The show has had seven seasons, all of them hosted by Yana Churikova. The show's alumni include Timati, Yulia Savicheva, Natalia Podolskaya, Dmitry Koldun, and Elena Temnikova. The seventh season was sponsored by singer Alla Pugacheva, who had starred in a TV musical mocking the Star Factory, together with Maxim Galkin and Verka Serduchka. In March 2011, the show announced that it would be returning with an eighth, "All-Star" season. The eighth season included four composers that had previously produced a season of the show: Igor Matvienko (one and five), Igor Krutoi (four), Victor Drobysh (four and six), and Konstantin Meladze (seven). Each composer had three singers that they had previously produced for.
