Brother 1: Alena, Dasha tried to become a skater for a short time. Would you like to try becoming an actress?

Alena: Oh, at some point ... I often have a desire to finish one of my hobbies and find a new one. In 4 years I will try to enter the medical faculty of the university. Or at least the preparatory department. To study and become a doctor. And they say to me: "Well, what kind of doctor you are, it is better to become an actress, go to the theater institute." And until the moment I entered [the sports institute], everyone considered it his duty to send me [to the theater]. I had no thoughts of immediately acting in films without special education.

Well, I am definitely one of those people who would tell Aliona that she should be an actress instead of a doctor! :biggrin:
But I can see how it might be boring for Aliona to have to memorize lines, and I'm not sure she would enjoy acting for TV or movies where you have to repeat the same scene over and over again until the director is satisfied. She might like live theater though, and I could see her doing very well in improvisation! 👍 She definitely should be in front of a camera!

Go to theater school, Aliona!! (After you retire from skating!) :pray: :biggrin:

Egoistically everything that would take her in the public eye, but her dreams shoulod come first of course.
Since she loves to compete I agree with you about live theater.
There she could keep finding those spikes of adrenaline

you see, there is one big problem here. It was no coincidence that Alena said that she did not watch Russian movies. There is nothing to watch. After the collapse of the USSR, our cinema fell into a muddy puddle, from which it still has not got out. 95 or even 99% of all Russian movies and TV series are disgusting nonsense.

By the way, there are two interesting examples: 1) actress Tatyana Drubich, who received a medical degree and managed to work as an endocrinologist; 2) Natalya Guseva, who played a major role in a super popular TV series as a child, but then chose to get a medical degree and become a microbiologist. Apparently, there is some strange connection between medicine and cinema.:)

Well, I don't know much about contemporary Russian films either but there's a Russian series I've watched recently and it was stunningly good! It's called Dead Mountain (Pereval Dyatlova) and it's about the mysterious case of the so-called Dyatlov Pass Incident, when 9 experienced ski hikers died in very strange and bizarre circumstances in the Northern Urals in 1959. I've always found their tragic story extremely intriguing ever since I first heard about it and the series captures it in a unique way. The producers and the actors (and everybody who was involved) did a phenomenal job. It's a must see for everybody who likes the X-files kind of stories. :)
 
My egoistical self would love her to become an actress in good films or series but I have also the impression that she has all that makes an excellent doctor, from learning abilities to psychomotor abilities through good hormonal/adrenaline management... and care for others. (Some of the deftest surgeons are catastrophic with cooking or dressing a table, it must be said.) If she remains motivated for it, I hope she will do it.
Though the career is very hard for beautiful women. Not only can they get unwanted proposals (I guess she would manage them very well) but also many people who see them believe they got their diplomas, positions... because they were beautiful. I'm thinking about it because there's a French (now retired I think) breast cancer surgeon who looks like a younger Brigitte Bardot and it seems she's heard a lot of that stuff. But then, being that beautiful is difficult everywhere.

I've seen that too, because I knew about that incident before so I was curious about the depiction in the TV series. Actually apart from figure skating I'm a movie fan active on czechoslovak movie database, so I need to keep some general awareness about the movie production.

Though as for the russian production, of the latest films only a handful of war films or films about space program got to me, and some sport movies too (I really liked Dvizhenie vverkh aka Going Vertical about the 1972 olympic victory in basketball tournament). Of the "higher quality" production I've seen some Zvyagincev's films and also films from Yuri Bykov.

the series "Pereval Dyatlova" is really done well and stands out against the general background (although the explanation of the riddle offered there is most likely incorrect). But "Dvizhenie vverkh" is just a pretentious copy of the pathetic American movie "Miracle" (2004) but with a noticeable admixture of anti-Sovietism. Moreover, the real events of 1972 were distorted in such a way that they were as similar as possible to the plot of the American original. This is our cinema, unfortunately ...

Happy New Year to Aliona! May all her dreams come true. One of her dreams is to become a doctor. I hope aliona becomes a veterinarian because she loves animals so much. She has small hands which will come in handy when performing surgery on animals.

Tell honestly: you just don't want to accidentally fall into her small hands? :)And the main type of surgical operations in veterinary clinics is such that I am even a little ashamed to name it ;)

Can you give me a hint?

I'm sure aleona would want to work with horses but some of that as veterinarian is not very pleasant if you know what I mean. ;)

Does AK still have her cast on? It is she running or walking the treadmill to keep her conditioning level up?

Well, what to hide - the most common surgical operation in a veterinary clinic is castration. Perhaps the most fanatical feminists can dream of such a job:biggrin:. But not Alena.

unfortunately, I have no more news than you. I think that it is too early to remove the plaster cast, it will be possible in a week or even two weeks, not earlier. Last post in Instagram:

Possibly because I'm not russian I watch such movies from a distance. Also the truth is that once glorious czech(oslovakian) cinematography is competely dead in quality and actually everything looks like an opus magnum in comparison with the current czech movies. That's probably why I am not that critical, though it is true that my impression is many US and russian movies compete with each other in the level of patriotism. :)
