In the early 2000s, an unusual project was launched on Channel One - "Star Factory". For several years, "Factory" has produced dozens of talented musicians, for whom participation in the TV project was a real lucky ticket to the world of show business. Young and talented performers toured all over the country for a long time, performing songs that the Factory fans still remember. Years later, someone managed to build a dizzying career, someone completely disappeared from the sights of video cameras. We decided to recall one of the participants, about whom literally the whole country spoke at one time, and today few people remember her name. The heroine of this article is Ksenia Larina.
Biography of the singer
Ksenia was born in Moscow on July 3, 1985. The girl's family is creative: her parents, Viktor Rzhevsky and Ekaterina Larina, are actors of the Sovremennik Theater. Two years later, another child appeared in the family - Maria Rzhevskaya.

Without graduating from music school, Ksenia moved to an educational institution with in-depth study of foreign languages. And from that moment on, the girl's life has changed dramatically - today Ksenia Larina is fluent in English, Italian, Spanish and French.
As soon as Ksenia turned 16, the girl passed a rigorous selection process at RUDN University and chose the Faculty of Philology for herself. At the same time, the girl was an actress of the Dialog Theater. Sixteen-year-old Xenia became Esmeralda in the musical Notre Dame de Paris.

Good hit
Ksenia went to the first casting of the Star Factory with her sister. Maria got on the project, but Ksenia did not. But for the 4th season of the project, the girl passed. True, for this she had to take the name of her mother. And the fact that Maria and Ksenia are sisters, the curator of the season, Igor Krutoy, hid for a long time. This was a kind of trump card of Channel One, which the organizers of the TV show presented to the public at the most opportune moment.

Unlike other "manufacturers" who made scandals to raise their ratings, Ksenia developed her vocal skills.
