On Instagram, singer Yulia Parshuta, noted for her stance toward staying true to her own artistic memory, explained that she declined to participate in an interview with TV presenter Yana Churikova. Parshuta’s decision reflected a broader approach to how she engages with the media regarding her cherished moments and unfinished chapters from her career. This move came amid discussions surrounding the anniversary show where she emphasized a desire to move forward rather than dwell on the past.
During the broadcast of Star Factory, Parshuta shared that she preferred not to revisit outdated memories in a way that could be interpreted as forcing a narrative. She expressed appreciation for the project and its milestone, honoring it with a performance that conveyed grace and respect without anchoring it to old disputes or unresolved tensions.
In the interview, Parshuta also spoke about how certain topics connected to the project were not permitted to be discussed openly. She underscored that what interests the audience might not always be suitable for public airing, highlighting the boundaries set by the production and the need to maintain a constructive dialogue about the show and its participants.
Parshuta added that Yana Churikova understood and accepted her stance. The two apparently reached common ground, with Churikova indicating that the purpose of an interview was not to reconstruct every moment of the past but to present a fair and thoughtful perspective that resonates with viewers and participants alike.
Churikova later launched the Factory project in 2022 alongside Yana Chu. The program focuses on conversations with former Star Factory participants and individuals closely linked to the show, offering insight into the franchise’s evolving dynamic and its enduring relevance for audiences today.
Back in 2007, Parshuta participated in the seventh season of Star Factory, finishing in third place. Her association with the Star Factory program began in 2011, marking a continuing connection with the franchise and its community of performers, judges, and fans who followed her journey through the years.
Earlier, Nikita Malinin, a former Star Factory winner, reported experiencing online harassment, illustrating the often challenging landscape that contestants and graduates navigate in the public eye.
