Edited to add - since it's sort of related, LOL - Tatiana got her documents back from the theft of her purse from her car. Passersby found her purse dumped and I guess only the money had been taken by the thieves. So some good news for her.

Basically, the article says that on June 17th as she left her car for a minute to make a cell phone call, thieves ran up to her car, knocked out the window and took from the rear seat her purse with money and documents. They left in a black Mazda. She said she lost 7,000 dollars, but she was more worried about her green card, Russian passport, foreign passport, and German visa. They think someone directed them to her car. Through the press, Tatiana appealed to the thieves to return the documents (for a reward).

The gist of the articles say Tatiana was a victim of an auto burglary in June. She had parked her car on Leningrad Prospect, and left the car for just a minute. At that point, unknowns broke the side window of her Range Rover, took her bag of personal belongings, and fled in a black Mazda. To the joy of Tarasova, a couple days later she got her documents back when an elderly pensioner called to say the bag had been found in a Moscow train station.

It's a pity someone couldn't have "found" Alexei's gold world's medal that was in his car when it was stolen.

Another review and more photos from the opening of the Yalta Ice show on June 26th. Here are the Alexei bits, and I'm cracking up at the photos of Alexei on his cell phone - what a surprise.

The show started. First on the ice was Olympic champion, four time world champion Alexei Yagudin. Each element of the program forced the hall to applaud louder and louder. After the performance, the figure skater got up on the stage with the charming hostess Anastasia Zavorotnyuk and said that he would like to take a dip in the Black Sea.

Closing the show of Yalta Ice was Olympic champion Alexei Yagudin. Elements of his program forced us to applaud with our last strength, the palms of our hands already burning. It is a pity, but everything good has to end sometime.

From the press conference:

>>
Olympic champion Alexei Yagudin noted that there are no complaints about the ice, that it was excellent, and afterward asked: "Where can I find a good beach?"

"When I was phoned in Moscow by Peter Tchernyshev and invited to participate in the show Yalta Ice, I thought that I had somehow fallen into a broadcast of "Drawing," because in Yalta there cannot be ice!"

Kind of confusing article (in my opinion, LOL) on next season's plans for Ice Age. What I'm understanding from the article is that Chulpan won't be back for the next season (the 4th season) because the fees are not high enough for her. Averbukh says that he had to cut performance fees because of the economic crisis and everybody agreed to the fees cut except for Chulpan. The article also says the following skaters/celebrities are going to return for next season. I question the accuracy of the list, and whether the author is confusing the last finals with the next season, but, here it is:
