Faktor A (in Russian Фактор А) is the Russian version of the The X Factor television talent show franchise. It is broadcasts on Russia 1 television station. The show is named Faktor A (rather than Faktor X), with the letter "A" chosen in honor of Alla Pugacheva, head of the jury. Faktor A debuted in 2011 as a new series 1.
Faktor A is considered a continuation of an earlier Russian show Sekret Uspekha (Russian: Секрет Успеха; English: Secret of Success) that was broadcast on Russia's RTR television station in contrast to this Faktor A series that is being broadcast on Russia1.
There were two series of Sekret Uspekha. The first was in 2005 and title was won by Vladimir Sapovskiy. A second series was broadcast in 2007, and title won by Nikolay Timokhin. The show was cancelled after two series because of insufficient number of viewers.
Although similar in format, the new series Faktor A is considered a whole new series with season 1 starting 2011.
