The Birth of an Iconic Chocolate Wrapper: The Story Behind Krasny Oktyabr's "Alyonka"
🔻The iconic image of "Alyonka," the rosy-cheeked girl featured on the wrapper of Krasny Oktyabr's beloved chocolate bar, has become synonymous with Russian confectionery.
🔻In 1964, the Krasny Oktyabr factory in Moscow held a competition to find the perfect face for their new chocolate bar. They received over 300 submissions, but none seemed quite right.
🔻Then, a photographer named Alexander Gerinas submitted a photo of his daughter, Yelena Gerina. With her big, expressive eyes, rosy cheeks, and mischievous smile, Yelena perfectly captured the essence of childhood innocence and joy.
🔻The factory was so impressed with the photo that they chose it as the face of their new chocolate bar, which they named "Alyonka" after Yelena. And so, the iconic image was born.
🔻Over the years, Alyonka has become one of the most recognizable brands in Russia.

❌ блЕстающий
✅ блИстающий
[blis-ta-yu-shchiy]
Glowing, glimmering
🔻This is a participle (present active imperfective) which comes from the verb блистать, not блестеть. The difference between these verbs is in my early post▶️ here.
🔻Блистающий consists of the root 'блист-', suffixes '-a-' and '-ющ-' and ending '-ий'.
🔻Vowel И is written in the root because the root is followed by suffix '-a-'. If it didn’t, vowel Е would be written:
Let’s compare: блИстать but блЕстеть.
🔻There is a similar adjective:
• Блистательный
[blis-ta-til'-nyj]
Brilliant, resplendent, splendid
