Singer Mikhail Grebenshchikov said that after the artist Maria Alalykina left the Factory group, the producers changed the contract with the band members, and the artist himself had to pay a fine. His words are quoted HABER.ru.
“It seems to me that, following the example of Masha Alalykina, they began to write in the contract with all women’s groups: “If you want to leave, pay € 250 thousand (almost 25 million rubles at the current exchange rate. – approx.) . socialbites.ca),” said Grebenshchikov.
The musician believes that Alalykina let the group down. He recalled that the singer later had to pay a fine in the amount of 25 thousand dollars, that is, about 2 million rubles at the current exchange rate. Grebenshchikov also added that the Star Factory participants are no longer in contact with Alalykina. The artist also stated that during his participation in the project, the singer showed that he is a strong person and wants to perform on stage more than anyone else.
