Some Alexei mentions in this article on Russian athletes who turned to business ventures...

Champions pack gold

Russian athletes successfully master enterprise, opening cafes, auto sales salons, hotels, and stores.

Earlier our athletes spoke only in favor of honor of country, but nowadays victories pay decent money: win the Olympic Games - obtain 100 thousand dollars, take a world championship title - on average 20 to 30 thousand dollars in the pocket. Certainly, first of all, the guys buy a car, then an apartment, and further they think: career will soon end - how will I live? Many attempt to organize their own business.

Yagudin buys houses in America

Aleksey Yagudin also works in real estate, but in America.
- I buy houses on credit and then sell them - says the figure skater. Loan rates in America are 4-5%, in Russia - 10-12%. Suppose, in Russia, I buy a house for 100 thousand dollars and rent it out. In America, for the (same) money, I immediately buy five houses and rent them out. Because there the starting fee - 20% from each. Plus, when you rent (out), you are actually paid the same credits. So remains a certain profit. That is the arithmetic.

Aleksey Yagudin also has a car company in St. Petersburg, but not so long ago, he turned this area of business. (I'm not sure I understand this part, but I think the author means he sold it.)

Another article on Anna Semenovich's upcoming August issue as guest editor of "Mini" magazine. Since Alexei will be featured, I wonder if there will be any wedding coverage? It would be quite the coup!

There will be advance promo of the issue on the Russian TNT channel and the radio station, Europe Plus.

Not that anyone will verify, LOL. Rumor has it as this summer, rumor has it as this fall. From the principals themselves, not a peep...tabloids say, though, that one of the magazines is going to cover it. I would think that if that is the case, the magazine would be LED, Averbukh's magazine. But when I saw the Mini promo, I wondered if that could be it, too.

Ooh! Nice! Thanks so much, Alithia! They both look wonderful!

Was this video taken in Switzerland? I thought I saw a Swiss flag, but that might not mean anything, LOL.
