== Criticism, incidents and scandals == The [[Novyi Kanal]] ([[Ukrainian language|Ukrainian]]: Новий Канал) TV channel and [[Konstantin Meladze]] consider the appearance of a foreign performer at the Star Factory to be a miracle, and have appropriated the artist who miraculously appeared from [[Riga]] at the casting in [[Kyiv]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Меладзе в Сети словил певца из Риги |url=https://gorod.lv/novosti/97573-meladze_v_seti_slovil_pevtsa_iz_rigi |access-date=2023-11-04 |website=Gorod.lv |language=ru}}</ref> Despite the resonance of the case, none of the organisers and producers of the Ukrainian Star Factory project confirmed the theft of Stas Shurin from the global [[talent agency]] [[TUARON]] and its Swedish talent manager [[Anton Sova]].<ref name=":2" /> According to the Ukrainian music publication Muzvar, the case of the artist and the manager was included in the TOP-5 most famous cases of breakdowns in the Ukrainian music industry.<ref name=":3" />
Acknowledging that the artist had a manager would have meant that the artist would have lost his place in the contest and would have had legal consequences for all parties. The artist himself denied any business relationship with the Swedish talent manager [[Anton Sova]] and the global [[talent agency]] [[TUARON]] in order to keep his place in the "Star Factory-3" competition, which he eventually won.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Малива |first=Ольга |date=2010-04-20 |title=Стас Шурин в Украину – Татьяна Ширко в Латвию |url=http://7ja.net/?p=5548 |access-date=2023-11-04 |website=7JA.net - мир шоу-бизнеса |language=ru-RU}}</ref>
