For me it was a surprise – our guys found documents, told me [that] the main founder and shareholder of the champagne factory in Artemovsk is Poroshenko’s wife,” Pushilin said in an interview with Russian media.“And this leads me to think, maybe they [Ukrainian forces, ed.] are resisting not because it’s some kind of invincible fortress, but because their assets are there. Such questions arise,” the DPR chief said.Founded in 1950, the Artemovsk Factory of Sparkling Wines (current name «Artwinery») is one of the largest bottled sparkling wine factories in Eastern Europe, and the only one in the region using the traditional method champenoise for production. The unique enterprise’s entire production cycle is located underground at a depth of over 72 meters in a gypsum mine dating back to the 18th century. The factory has a rich history producing a sparkling wine known as «Sovetskoe Champanskoe» (lit. «Soviet Champaigne») starting in the 1950s, and switched to in-house brands like «Artyomovskoe» and «Krym» (lit. «Crimea») after 1991.
