Tennis star Maria Sharapova, 25, will launch her line of premium chewy candies in Moscow at the end of April, according to a statement issued Thursday by her company, Sugarpova.
High-end supermarket chain Azbuka Vkusa has been selected as the sales partner for Russia.
"I'm looking forward to the moment when Russia sees what we have made," the four-time grand slam winner said in the statement.
Sharapova started the candy company in August 2012. Her products are now available in the United States, Britain, Canada, Japan and Australia.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
