1) For the start - let's figure out who's coming out from juniors.
Ladies: Alina Zagitova, Polina Tsurskaya, Stanislava Konstantinova (may be also Alisa Fedichkina)
Men: Dmitry Aliev, Lord Samarin.
I don't know about pairs and ice dance, but likely Ustimkina/Volodin and Boikova/Kozlovsky from pairs and likely Loboda/Drozd and Skoptcova/Aleshin from ice dance.
2) Let's check who we have in seniors now:
Ladies: Evgenia Medvedeva, Anna Pogorilaya, Elena Radionova, Maria Sotskova, Adelina Sotnikova, Elizaveta Tuktamysheva, Alena Leonova, Serafima Sakhanovich, Yulia Lipnitskaya.
Men: Mikhail Kolyada, Maxim Kovtun, Andrei Lazukin, Alexander Petrov, Sergei Voronov, Artur Jr. Dmitriev.
Pairs: Tarasova/Morozov, Stolbova/Klimov, Kavaguti/Smirnov, Zabiyako/Enbert, Astakhova/Rogonov, Volosozhar/Trankov.
3) I suggest to do it in two options: your wish and your real predict.
Ladies:
My wish: Evgenia, Alina and Polina.
My predict: Evgenia, Alina and Polina.
Considering circumstances I need to fix my predict concerning girls, but it's not easy.
My wish still the same: Evgenia, Alina, Polina
But my predict: Evgenia, Alina (if puberty won't hit her in the next season) and a mystery girl.
Anna Pogorilaya - don't know what to say. With well skate (not perfect) she lost at Nationals to Maria Sotskova (she also skated not perfect).
Elizaveta Tuktamysheva - I read her interview where she said that she's ready for the next season, and ready to show her best. Will see.
Elena Radionova and Maria Sotskova - both girls with Buyanova now. Her superpower should be taken into account. Masha and Radio now will have some boost even with mistakes at Russian Nationals.
Adelina Sotnikova - I'm not sure that Plushy can help her, but let's see. Her skating skills are incredible, and If she'll regain her jumps - all things could happen.
Stanislava Konstantinova - many people who saw her live said that she is super fast. Main question - will she cope with herself?
Polina Tsurskaya - it will be a miracle if Polina will cope with her disease and will start to show her best. But I won't stop hoping.
Dunya Panenkova - she is eligible for Olympics, if during the summer she will gain the speed in her skating and other girls will bomb at Nationals, then she has a chance.
