By looking them through again I recognized that I love their "Carmina Burana" as well
Especially Tanya's dress. The color fit her so much

Interesting read about the state of figure skating in Ukraine http://www.fsuniverse.net/forum/sho...etes-when-they-win-medals-for-other-countries
About halfway through she talks about Tanya
About halfway through she talks about Tanya
Those are all so adorable! Seriously talented fans. I'm imagining, if i drew a pic for them, how my stick figure Tanya and Max would compare. 
Edit: Ok really wanted to watch the TV interview despite my crappy connection and powered through... only took me 20 minutes. BUT SO WORTH IT! Max is SO expressive! He's just too handsome for words. Love Tanya's look after the couple discussion. Poor thing looks exhausted tho, well they both do.

Here is, at last, another portion of the documentary's translation... It follows the piece that was here.
***
In December, 2010, at the national championship, Volosozhar and Trankov had a confident win over Yuko Kavaguti and Alexander Smirnov, the European champions. And that was after only six months of training together. But the main competition of their first season was supposed to be the World championship. Tatiana, Maxim and their coaches decided to go and train in Japan, where the championship was going to take place. They arrived in Tokyo on March, 11, 2011.
And several hours later, the media space of Russia was struck with terrible news. [a glimpse of newscast about the earthquake in Japan]
Nina Mozer: And back in Russia, they were nearly mourning for us already... And an article appeared, literally entitled like "It could be their debut world championship"…
Now they are able to recollect it light-heartedly, but at that time everything was very serious. Because, when the skaters and the coaches were riding by train, the disastrous earthquake was raging in Japan. Journalists tried to phone them, but the mobile communications were off. And then it occurred to someone from the mass media to publish a front-page story – Volosozhar and Trankov are missing, possibly were the victims of the earthquake.
TV: They wrote that "It could be their first world championship", posted our photos there…
These scaring speculations were soon heard by their relatives, who also couldn't phone to Tatiana, Maxim or their coaches for several hours.
TV: My mum was sitting for two hours without any information… as she said, she was completely stunned, didn't know what to do…
Valentina Trankova: I came home, turned the television on – and there they were saying about the earthquake in Japan... And I had hysterics, naturally… And I was phoning to everyone else I could… in Moscow or anywhere… because their telephones didn't answer…
This terrible uncertainty lasted for the long five hours…. And all this time, Tanya, Maxim and their coaches were sitting in the train, having no idea of what had happened.
Nina Mozer: When we arrived in Osaka, the telephone switched on, and there were about forty text messages, about fifty missed calls and the phone was ringing non-stop… "how are you?" "where are you?" "are you okay?" Then Alexander Georgievich Gorshkov phoned me, and asked me in a trembling voice: "How are you?" And we hadn’t got a slightest idea, what was going on… how we were to know that there was an earthquake behind our backs?
They stayed in Japan for almost a week – until it was officially stated that there wouldn't be the World championship in Japan that year. Then Nina Mozer's team went home, to Russia. But very soon all the elite of the figure skating world followed them there – because a month later Moscow was holding the World championship, which had been cancelled in Japan.
All the five days of the event, the Megasport Ice Palace was full. The boom was great. The attention of the fans was locked on the Russian skaters. And under such conditions, Volosozhar and Trankov were to have their first international competition. Not an ordinary debut any more. Now it was more like "baptism by fire".
MT: We have never had such a scaring competition in our life, I think. And it was definitely a rehearsal of what was going to be in Sochi… When the whole hall was full of Russian flags, and the whole hall roaring "Russia, Russia"… that was such an experience, that I will never forget.
That's how it happened. They entered the ice to perform their short program – the dark horses, known only by their careers with the previous partners, but together absolutely unknown. The tension was enormous. How many skaters there have been in the history, which were a success with one partner, then teamed up with someone else – and disappeared forever…
Nina Mozer: That was the first time, when we were seen by anybody… The judges didn't know us, nobody knew us yet, in fact…
TV: There was such an adrenaline rush…the heart was hammering, and the legs felt rubbery… I'm very happy that we managed to cope with this nervousness then…
Their ultimate ambition at that competition was to be among the top six. But after their short program at their debut world championship Volosozhar and Trankov were third, and the best among the Russian pairs. Ahead of them were only the world champions from Germany and the Chinese pair, silver medalists of the Olympics a year before.
The tension was increasing. This was the practice before the long program. Volosozhar and Trankov, the debutants, were preparing to go to the ice in the strongest warm-up group. And the lot was not too kind for them - they were to perform the last in the group. Any skater knows what it means – at a strain of the nerves.
TV: I was sitting there, unlaced the skates, waiting for our time to go… I felt restless, was running to and fro… and there sat a security man, he said to me: "Now, why so nervous? Everything will be okay!" Big thanks to him – maybe, that really helped me to calm down a bit…
MT: We went to the ice, and the air itself was feeling tense… all this electricity in the air was felt… We understood that it was a 'make it or break it' moment…
And when we finished, it seemed that such a heavy burden had fallen from my mind… we finished, and I just exhaled, as if – I don't know, as if a heavy armour vest was taken off from me – because all this had been so hard, so nervous…
And we had hoped there to be, maybe, in the top six, or top five… and then we finished third after the short program, and there was a chance to get to the podium…
That the German pair Savchenko/Szolkowy were going to be champions, that was beyond all question. But what place the Russian skaters would take? Debutants are not normally scored too high at the world championships, not usually placed on the podium. But here Volosozhar and Trankov left no variants to the judges. The only question was, which medal they would take – bronze or silver.
MT: We didn't hope for the silver. When we performed well, we thought "oh, we are keeping the third place - that’s great" – and then it turned out that we had outrun the Chinese, who had been on the Olympic podium less than a year before…
At their debut World championship Volosozhar and Trankov took the second place. And they had a win over the defending champions and silver medalists of the Olympics in Vancouver – Qing Pang/Jian Tong. Now this Chinese pair is also in Sochi and in the pairs' event, which is to start on February, 11, they are among the favourites. But let's not run ahead, let's leave for a while Volosozhar and Trankov on their first podium of the world championships, and make a short excursus about their rivals…

Thank you SO much, borzaya!!
Thank you borzaya for the effort of translating the whole piece!
But at the same time Tanya is the one who almost always leans for a kiss (after performances, closing ceremony) so they're even lol.
I think it would be a good idea to make a video. Maybe one with messages from us, written on some photos and merged together in a video.
I agree with all of you who said that Maxim is more willing to talk about their relationship. But if you noticed every time he says something that confirms it Tanya suddenly comes in with her "sports family" and he doesn't know what to say anymore and starts rambling those non-denial denials

Huge THANK YOU to Borzaya for all the work you put into the documentary translation, and another huge THANK YOU to Eli for the television interview translation!!! Really enjoyed watching that interview (the whole "relationship mystery" business has officially become comical ), but I really wish someone would tell Max that he needs to stop interrupting and talking over half of what Tanya says. I know he's a talker, and I guess we've heard before that Tanya is fine with Max doing most of the talking in interviews (is that correct???), but he really reaches the point of being rude much of the time. And you all know how much I LOOOOVE Maxim Trankov ......but geez, Max.....let the girl talk!!!

I was thinking the same thing. Sometimes when he interrupts her she nods and immediately stops talking. Wonder if it's agreed between them to leave most of the talking to him.
Not to be disrespectful or anything, and again, maybe she's fine with it and shares such a bond with him that she doesn't find it annoying, but if I were here you'd probably could tell it bothers me. LOL
especially if the question if often directed to me and i want to say something.
Haha but i guess i'm a very short-tempered person, unlike Tanya, who's an angel.

Thank you so much borzaya
It's really nice of you to translate all of that :yes:
annafer
You're so right that Tamya always denials things in words or doesn't want to talk about it, but then at tge performamces she somehow wants to show everyone that he's hers
So Maxim's the one to word it and she to show it

Maxim gives me the feeling that he is depending on Tatiana, always looking at her when he says something or being some way in contact with her.
I agree with mttvonice and kinoriH, I wish we could hear Tanya more, but who can stop Max from talking? I assume Tatiana got used to this and seems pretty cool about it, maybe she knows that this is what makes him happy, because he always has to do or say something, he just can't stay put. He's like a very active child lol.
You summed it up perfectly. Even though sometimes she speaks too and he always has to touch her in a waySo Maxim's the one to word it and she to show it

I thought the same thingI didnt understand a word, but one more time the way they look at each other made my day!
It would definitely bother me, but as you said, Tanya's an angel and it's probably in her nature to not get upset about something like that. I'm guessing that if it did bother her, she would have said something to Max about it long ago, and because of how much he adores her and wants her to be happy
, he would have already done everything he could to change that behavior -- at least I hope LOL.Still hard for me to hear it though :disapp:
And thanks to kinoriH's posting of....
