A Sweet History: Babayevsky's Journey
Babayevsky has a long and interesting history, going back over 200 years! It started as a small family business and grew into a huge company.
How It All Began: The Abrikosov Family
The story of Babayevsky began in 1804. A family of confectioners named Abrikosovy started a small workshop. They were very good at making sweets. Over time, their workshop became a well-known factory.
A New Name: Honoring Peter Babayev
Many years later, in 1918, the factory became owned by the government. This is called nationalization. In 1922, the factory got its current name, "Babayevsky." It was named after a man named Pyotr Akimovich Babayev. He was an important local leader in Moscow at that time.
Becoming a Private Company Again
In 1993, the company changed again. It became a private company once more, which is called privatization. This means it was no longer owned by the government. Today, Babayevsky continues to make many popular sweets enjoyed by people across Russia and beyond.
