WOW...Alina takes Bronze in the amount media mentions she got this month! -
Olympic champion in figure skating Alina Zagitova took third place in the number of mentions in the Russian media in September.
The rating, which includes representatives of culture, art and show business, was headed by actor Mikhail Efremov (13,528 mentions), the second place went to singer Alla Pugacheva (2561).
Zagitova, who ranked 11th in the ranking last month, received 1,896 mentions in the press.
Two-time Olympic champion Evgeni Plushenko took 5th position (1829), his wife - producer Yana Rudkovskaya - 11th (1311), choreographer Ilya Averbukh is 36th (547), commentator Dmitry Guberniev - 51st (420 ), Olympic champion Alexei Yagudin - 59th (370), champion of Turin-2006 Tatyana Navka - 88th (251).
Alina in the "Late Nite with Urgant" studio:
Thanks for detailed information.WOW...
So to clear the air about the people above Alina.
The reason there's a lot of media around Efremov - it's because he's a very famous actor, who's been on trial this year for involuntary manslaughter due to drunkdriving. The whole situation was incredibly publicized due to conflicting statements from his lawyer, him fainting in the courtroom. A whole show, if you ask me.
Alla Pugacheva - is probably the most famous singer Russia ever had, she's seen as a mother and head of russian show business. So she's always on the top.
Then there's Alina, who's just... sitting there, going to university, doing her first steps as a journalist in IA.
Yeah, the fame level is through the roof when the only people who can beat you are showbiz megamogul and the craziest scandal with drunkdriving.
Maybe Russians find her true beauty by comparing her with drama makers. They really like her as a positive and influential celebrity.I think she also resembles Irina Shayk. I believe she is also Tatar.She's perfect. She's beautiful. She looks like Linda Evangelista. She's a model.
Thank you for explaining this. I didn't know who they were. This really puts it into perspective.WOW...

To be honest, I was shocked by the rank and her popularity in Russia now. She always kept a low profile and literally said nothing while coaches/skaters/school manager were eager to create drama recently.Maybe Russians find her true beauty by comparing her with drama makers. They really like her as a positive and influential celebrity.
Anther shocking finding, Plushenko only ranked 5th place...after he shocked everybody with too much transfer news and his new baby... Maybe that's why he and other coaches want Alina to corporate with them. Alina brings fame and money to them. That's why people keep making fuss about her.
The most interesting thing is, I don't think Alina cares about fame and popularity. However, I still hope the media and people around her treat her better and do not drag her into countless drama. She is not a girl who is eager to earn money and fame by showing off her personal life.

She also remindes me of Scarlett Johansson. They are both dominating ladies, sexy and cool.I think she also resembles Irina Shayk. I believe she is also Tatar.![]()
