Understanding why the federation moved Valieva from junior to senior tests is very simple, it is pure common sense. It is mainly a message for plushenko that no matter how many girls he catches from Tutberidze, there will always be more behind, secondly it is a show of support for Tudberidze of allowing him to show 3 skaters when the other coaches and plushenko will only have at most 2; And finally, it is pure publicity for the event, because it will be televised nationally for TV1, and while more Tutberidze girls are on the ice it is obvious that there will be higher ratings.
Do you really think the Federation supports Eteri on this level? Poor Eteri, if she needs such support. But I don't think so. I believe they decided it because Valieva is on level and they want to help Kamila. She has chance to be in the Olympic team. They want to give her more experiences.
This is unpopular but it must be said. Seriously plushifans stop your envy. I know it is annoying to know that your gold coach has not won anything compared to Tutberidze, all by dedicating himself to removing skaters instead of training the few who want to train in their academy from childhood.
Honestly leave the envy, some comments are read bordering the hatred of Tutberidze for the change of Valieva from junior to seniors. If Plushenko had behaved as a coach the federation would not have come to this; the saddest thing is that so far Plushenko says nothing about Valieva, because he knows that the criticism would rain, i wish his fans would behave the same.
Honestly what are you talking about? Envy? What envy? Ridiculous. :roll5: We are not stupid thus we know and according to his inrerview Plushenko knows, too he is not on Eteri's level yet. Plushenko is a 3 years old coach. How could there be as many results as Eteri, who has been working as a coach for about 17 years?

Please tell us what results Eteri had at the time?

Nothing.
Incidentally, Tarakanova's results were almost the same under Plushenko as under Eteri's control . :yes: And one important note, Eteri doesn’t raise her skaters from an early age at all. The skaters go to her from other coaches, did you forget it? If someone can’t do triple jumps, she kicks out them. See Scherbakova, who was kicked out by Eteri, so someone else taught the triples to her.

What is a joke, I was surprised when I learned it. What happened in this 3 years is due to Plushenko's name, is due to what Plushenko is in figure skating. This situation is very interesting because in this story the characters are Russians, everyone is interesting, everyone is very famous, everyone is very popular, everyone is very talented. Lambiel's didn't receive such attention because of his new
ready-made skaters 
( I don't want to say they are not talented, probably you understand what I wanted to say)
Otherwise Plushenko started his school with many little children . They are teaching them the basic of the figure skating and the basic of every sport. But the academy is only 3 years old. Right?
