Some interesting background info about this activityQuotes from http://www.mn.ru/local/20071025/55285009.html (Moscow News, online newspaper):

"The Krasny Oktyabr (Red October) factory has for decades been one of the landmarks of the Russian capital. After all, what could be more original than having a 19th century Willy Wonka chocolate factory right in the middle of the Moscow River? "

"And yet, with an order from the Moscow authorities prohibiting all industrial facilities inside of the city limits, the sweets factory is heading for the suburbs"

"The history of the Red October chocolate factory in the center of Moscow begins in 1851, when Teodore Ferdinand von Einem, a German confectioner, opened a small business on the Arbat. The present confectionary plant on Bersenevskaya Embankment was erected in 1889, producing not only chocolates and sweets but also biscuits, tea, coffee, and ice-cream. The brand name became world-renowned, and took home the Grand Prix at the Paris World Fair in 1900."

"The Red October factory museum will, however, remain open on the island, as well as a hand-made chocolate production department."
