Just that it recalled me a scene from an old but still famous fairytale The Proud Princess. The basic synopsis is that in a kingdom far far away there is a young and just king Miroslav, who asks for a hand of a princess from a neighbouring kingdom. The princess is beautiful but spoiled so she just sends him a message that he's not worthy to even tie her slippers. The king doesn't want to let it just like that so he comes to the princess palace in disguise as an ordinary gardener. There he meets the princess and of course he manages to change her character in time, but at the beginning there is a scene where the princess tries to force him to tie her slipper. I hope the scene is understandable even in czech:I'm pretty sure she would find a number of volunteers to tie her laces
So now imagine Aliona enforcing the other team members to tie her skates

The Big difference is Aliona will make you want to do it, as good deed, as a gesture of friendship or, if needed, for the good of Sambo 70 and the great Mother Russia
... not that I'm the best judge: I will pay my trip to Moscow to tie her laces

I watched this fairy tale as a child, like many other movies made in Czechoslovakia. Unfortunately, now on Russian television sometimes only "Tri orísky pro Popelku" appears.Just that it recalled me a scene from an old but still famous fairytale The Proud Princess.

But I think that if Kostornaya wished that the laces on her skates were tied not by team members, but by fans, the queue of those wishing would stretch to the horizon, despite the fact that Alena can hardly boast of royal origin

I don't know if any skater can tie another skater's laces correctly. I believe one must feel exactly how tight it is on the leg at every moment. Of course I can be wrong.I'm pretty sure she would find a number of volunteers to tie her laces

About her origin, when I ask for an automated translation of something about her, sometimes her name is translated by bonfire. Is it the real meaning of her name? I don't speak Russian and don't even know the male version of her family name.I watched this fairy tale as a child, like many other movies made in Czechoslovakia.

It would be so apt!
Sasha Trusova's name to the reverse, I see translated as coward and nothing could be wronger.

This is a rather difficult question. But I can say right away that the bonfire has absolutely nothing to do with it. Male version of her name is Kostornoy or Kostorny. Depending on where the stress is placed. Alena's father is Sergey Kostornoy. The stress in this word is on the last syllable.
Here is one of the explanations I found:
The nickname Kostorny, according to one version, is derived from the word kOster' (кОстерь) - the hard bark of plants suitable for flax and hemp yarn. Thus, Kostorny could be called a master who was engaged in spinning, or a rude, stern person. According to another hypothesis, this nickname was carried by an avid dice player, as well as a swindler. Six-sided dice in past centuries were made from animal bones (bone on russian is kost' ("кость") ) and were an instrument of a very gambling game, often severely persecuted by the authorities. Later, by analogy, Kostarny (and sometimes Kostorny) began to be called a passionate gambler. It is less likely that the surname Kostorny goes back to the baptismal name Konstantin.
But I think another explanation is more realistic. There is a very similar surname "Kastorny". For example, Ukrainian soccer player Oleg Kastorny. the letters O and A in Russian are often close in their sound. By the way, in Russia people pronounce Alena's surname more like "KastornAya". So, near Kursk there is an urban-type settlement Kastornoye (It was founded in 1571 by decree of Tsar Ivan IV). And I assume that Alena's ancestors once lived either in this village, or close to it.

there is also the word "трусы" (trusy) with stress on the last letter. It means "panties"

I went only once in Russia (Moscow) and was surprised by how open (near a) many os were pronounced. In Domodedovo for instance. So I readily believe you. In France too, many people have as name a village, town or region a remote ancestor came from. Even in Japan it seems (probable origin of Hanyu, a place near the town where his father grew). And the name is not rarely slightly different from the original one.
Thank you very much, I didn't expect such a detailed answer!

Unfortunately there are no subtitles this time. I'll translate this later. Alena promised to return to the ice soon and start training. At the same time, she said that although the cast was removed, the effects of the fracture still persist due to complications.

Alena only mentioned it, without details. Actually, here is the translation of the first half of the video:
So guys, hello everyone, you are on my channel, and today we will have a review of my New Year's makeup. This is a brilliant, beautiful and fabulous makeup. In addition, I have two news. As you noticed, the first thing is that I'm already wearing an orthosis. It's not the right orthosis, but I was told it didn't matter. This means that soon I will be able to go on the ice, because the cast is gone and nothing bothers me.
The second piece of news is that my hand is not as good as I would like it to be. That is, it was not an ordinary fracture, there is a complication. The whole story is not very pleasant, unfortunately. But soon I'll be on the ice.
Another news - I got vaccinated against coronavirus. So far, only the first part of the vaccine. What can I say about it? I used the CoviVac vaccine, and I didn’t notice almost any side effects. My hand hurt a little, but nothing critical. That day I was getting a manicure, I lifted my backpack and felt that a muscle hurt. Nothing else, I didn’t have a fever, I didn’t have a breakdown, cough, runny nose or any other symptoms. It was just that my hand hurt a little for one day or a day and a half. Getting vaccinated is not painful at all, almost nothing is felt ...
(referring to the dog) Well, what are you?
She wants your attention too...
(to dog) Yes, yes, yes! All right, go!
A small introduction, we have digressed from the topic a little ... Today I am doing makeup, so watch, repeat, make some stories marked “Alena with make up”, or something similar, I will be very pleased. Those who get the coolest make-up, I will post in my stories.
So, to begin with, I remove the hair. In addition, I have two new eyeshadow palettes. (shows the palettes) These two ... To be honest, I've only tried this one so far, and I haven't even opened the second one yet, I'm most interested. So now we will do it. (opens palette). This is what it looks like... Wow, it's magnetic, wow! Here you can collect your own colors, amazing. It's a very pigmented palette, I love it, I really like glitter, and therefore ... cool!
(a little distracted by the dog)
So! Go. For starters, I take a lip scrub. This is Victoria Secret, I was given it as a gift, a very good thing. This scrub always preps the lips. For example, if I am preparing for some competition, or something else. Be sure to apply this scrub before applying lipstick and leave it on for about 15 minutes. It turns out just a wow effect, some kind of panacea. My lips are often dry and chapped, and the scrub returns them to normal.
After that, I calmly begin to paint my eyes, because the shadows can fall off, and I don’t want to stir it all on my cheeks - otherwise it will turn out badly. At the very beginning, I take the corrector. I have this corrector "MAC". And I apply beige colors all over the eyelid ...
Why are my eyes red? Because I'm doing this for the second time. This is the second attempt. The first time, it didn’t work out very well, or even quite badly. I'm already using the right hand, but it still remains the same curve as in the cast. Just a hopeless hand.
So, the base is ready. Let's get to the eyes. I apply beige and pink shadows so that some kind of foundation appears on the eyes, in addition to the corrector, and so that at least the main color appears. Then I draw the corners of the eyes with brown color ...
(to dog) You can't! I understand when you do it...
Actually, these are the problems I face when shooting every video!
(to dog) No! Not!
Okay, let's give her an alternative replacement. (taking some toy for the dog, throws it into another corner of the room. The dog runs away after the toy)
After I applied the brown corners, they need to be shaded. Well, this is how it happened. Next, I take the concealer, as in the Instagram trends. I take a clean brush. I have a special concealer brush. By the way, I bought the concealer, it seems, at Wildberries, I don’t remember exactly. I put concealer on half of my eye. Even a little more than half. More precisely, I apply concealer on half of the eye, and then blend it around the edges. It is advisable not to skip a single section, because otherwise it will not be possible to attach the glitter well later - it will quickly fall off, and this is absolutely useless to us.
Well, after all this, I take glitter. This is also a dangerous thing, because it constantly crumbles, it can get into the eyes, and I have my very sensitive eyes. Maybe I'm not applying these glitter correctly and it shouldn't really flake off, but it happens. I put on a lot of glitter, because it is very cool and looks great on the eyes. For the New Year holidays, this is very suitable - it looks as if it is snow on the eyelids. This is how my glitter look… Next, I need to finish the corners of my eyes. I pick up my eye corner brush again and another palette (shows palette). I like this palette because it has bright colors. Even if you take quite a bit, it will still be a well-marked addition. The advantage of such corners is that in the same place where I apply the shadows, then I will make an eyeline.
Now I need to shade the resulting corners of the eyes a little. But only a little. If I shade too much, then all the glitter will be smeared and there will be no effect from this. I can also say that such makeup can be used in everyday life. For example, I will now do such a make-up and go to the cinema. There we will finally meet my dear Dasha. Yes, she already walks on her legs, and this is good news. I am very happy for her, because everything is already getting better and moving in the right direction.
So, we make an eyeline. Now the main thing is not to blink and not to breathe. Life just has to stop. (draws an eyeline) What's the difficulty here? The fact that I also drew the inner corner of the eye. And it turns out very badly for me. I don't know how to draw it at all. Of course I'll try. That's it... Oh! So, and then with a cotton swab I remove everything superfluous.
Yes, guys, not every makeup can be done quickly. As much as I would like to save time, at least half an hour is needed.
(to dog) Don't touch my microphone!
No matter how okay ... Here, no one will particularly find fault ... Phew! For some reason it doesn't close, strange... (puts aside the eyeliner). I should probably add more glitter. Now… (applying additional glitter). Here, it immediately became brighter.
After that, you can already do the tone of the face and eyebrows. Before I do my face tone, I take a primer... Or is it not a primer? In general, the basis. If I'm wrong about something, please correct me. In general, I take the foundation for makeup. This is my “Make Up Forever” with a smoothing effect, it seems. This foundation is very good on the skin, I really like it. After that I take a foundation. I have it in a very bad shape, because I broke the jar. I do not plan to buy a new one yet, because it is expensive, and there is still a lot of cream in this jar.
Before I start doing, I will cover up bruises and bags under the eyes in the same way with a corrector. If you have bags under your eyes, then nothing will help you. If there are only bruises under the eyes, then the corrector is quite capable of disguising them, and very well. The most important thing in this case is to know exactly what color to use. There is a special plate, you need to study it.
Why don't I want to buy a new foundation? I just said this. Because I really liked this cream. I put it on, it's a little different from my skin color, just a little bit. And when I smear it, the color will change and become indistinguishable from my skin, and it will be very cool, my skin will become like porcelain, perfectly smooth. I was very lucky with this foundation, it suits me very well.

Perhaps I made some inaccuracies, because there is hardly anything more unfamiliar to me than makeup. And by the way - the Dasha mentioned in the video is, of course, Usacheva.
I will translate the second half of the video a little later.

second part:
I want to note that now, when I use foundation, I do not completely cover the entire surface of the skin, but apply it in separate touches, because this way it lays down much better. That is, I “drive in” the cream with short movements. Especially in the eyes, where I already have a corrector.
What to do next? Further, I still continue to try to draw the eyeline from the inside. This time I'll be smarter and do it with shadows. But with the help of shadows, this cannot be done ... (uses a pencil). Well, that's it, now the inside of the eyeline is also more or less normal.
Fine! What do I do next? Next, I'll do my eyebrows. I'll touch them up a bit, even though I already had a permanent. For competitions or for some events, in any case, I paint my eyebrows. And on ordinary days, I have enough of what I already have, my eyebrows look very even and beautiful. I forgot about the eyebrows, probably right after I did this procedure (permanent). After that, the eyebrows always look made up, which suits me perfectly. Since I initially came with a request that they make my eyebrows for every day, and not under makeup. I can tint them at any time, but making them less bright would be problematic.
Well, and then a very common question (while I thought about it) is a question about my selection for the competition. Unfortunately… Not even that, not like that, I'll start differently. We have a sports principle in accordance with which everyone competes and performs. All are on an equal footing. That is, if I did not participate in the Russian Championship, then I cannot be selected for the main starts. And if someone is replaced by me, it will not be fair. Because people compete. There are different situations, but when I missed [the championship], I immediately understood that this season, unfortunately, I would not be able to take part in the main competitions. But that's okay, I hope I still have plenty of time. I will make [fans] happy, skate, compete, improve results. I hope everything works out for me.
So, here I already have my eyebrows ready. I lifted them up a little with a latch. Next, one interesting thing should be done. I take the same concealer. So, you need to squeeze out a little ... And this is how I do it. Next I use a sponge. Just a little more I will make the area on which the foundation is applied. A sponge is used to avoid fingerprints.
That's it, great. Now I take the glitter again and stick it in the same place where the concealer was just used, which served as the base in this case. I applied once, and now I slightly blend these glitter. So, this is what we got ... After that, of course, contouring should be done ...
(opens box) Oh! Although the plaster is gone, I still can’t open it… I’m generally lucky with my cheekbones, because they are very pronounced and visible on my face. I don't have to do anything to make my cheekbones stand out. In most cases, I don't even paint my cheekbones. The exception is makeup for events and competitions. But every day I don’t paint my cheekbones, because they are already clearly visible. I got very lucky with this. I remember there were moments when someone asked me, I think it was Liza Nugumanova, but I'm not sure, because a lot of time has passed. So she asked me: “how do you get such cheekbones, how do you paint them?”. And I looked at her and thought: “What, cheekbones need to be painted? Why?". So I got very lucky with that.
So, it remains to finish it all with powder and complete my makeup with eyeliner and lips. I apply powder almost all over my face, except for sparkles. Now the most interesting. The main addition to my image is a white eyeliner. I have all the Nyx colored eyeliners except for the blue one. The blue one, I think I bought at L'Etoile, because the one I had before ran out and I had to improvise very quickly. I draw very brightly with a white eyeliner, I try to draw a lot with it. And the mucous membrane of the eye, and under the mucous membrane, because the whiter, the better it will look. Because of this, the whole makeup becomes very unusual, and I really like it.
Next, I take a thin brush. White color, a lot of white color - and right under the eye I apply white shadows. Directly on eyeline. The appearance of the eye immediately noticeably changed. Fine! After all this, I take mascara. Sometimes I can stick on my eyelashes, sometimes not. Today I decided not to do this, because it would be too bright and catchy. I tinted my eyes with mascara, and now the eyelashes are visible, and everything is visible.
But that's not all. Next, you need to draw the outline of the lips. Since my lips are clearly visible, there is no need to increase their visual size. Therefore, I either outline the natural contour of the lips, or even try to reduce it a little. If I leave the house with such huge lips, then all the relatives will immediately call me, as it was once when I was photographed in this form. But I just did it like this in that photo. And immediately 800 angry reviews. Grandmothers called me, they began to ask what I had done to myself, how I had disfigured myself so much, what master I got to, that they ruined everything for me. And only people who saw my lips “live” said that everything was fine. Well, I had to reduce the contour.
I just put on a tint. This is a Benefit tint. Now it's over, there's not much left. However, the jar was too small. But overall, he's pretty cool. The best part is that it can be used for both eyes and lips, as well as a blush. It was a special collection about three years ago. I am very careful with this tint because I really like it.
And the final touch of my makeup is the moon and stars. (draws) You can also draw snowflakes ... That's how it happened. I'm definitely going to add glitter to it. Just from the new palette that I promised to show. True, one color spilled a little, but that's okay. This is what this palette looks like (points to the camera). Here are the basic colors, and there are a lot of them. For color makeup, this is a real fire.
Then my favorite ... Now I'll take this brush and add blue glitter, just to the moon. And immediately there will be a different view. And on other stars and snowflakes, I will put purple glitter so that it differs from the moon.
Well, here is my makeup. This is what I looked like during New Year. I hope you liked it. I hope I didn't talk too long. Right now, I'm selfish. In general, I really like it. I even tried to make sure that my eyes did not start to redden. Everything worked out for me, the makeup is just super. Repeat, post on Instagram, tag me, and the best makeup options that I see will get into my stories.
Guys, thanks again everyone for watching this long video. I hope you liked it, I hope that I correctly explained, in an accessible language, what and how I do and you will succeed even better than me. Thank you, stay beautiful, happy, healthy, bye!

As always, thank you very much for your time and effort to translate Aliona's words for us. I don't think I have ever watched (and read) such a long video on how to put on a specific (or any) make-up...
