If Trusova would have switched to a proper coach, either in Russia or to RAF or BOrser, the negative emotions would be far less. She is a child, one can hardly expect her to leave her brothers and pets to go train somewhere abroad all alone for 50 weeks a year. Perhaps at 17-18, but not yet at 15 (almost 16 though, but Aleksandra seems more childish in character compared to her former rink mates)
Plyushchenko is a manager first and at best, his coaching is so far limited to the children from the incrowd that can afford the Academy. And mostly seen in exuberant social media postings by the Academy.
Rozanov, Volkov and the other paid staff are trainers:

The practical arrangements are yet unknown, who will actually be working with Trusova on skating skills, on choreography, on jumping? The Academy is not without capable staff obviously, and Volkov and the other paid specialists not without merit and experience. Managing her PR will most likely by Plyushchenko himself, but one should assume Mr Trusov is neither blind nor deaf, and will keep a close tab on all things concerning his daughter.
One might assume Volkov stays in charge over his current group, while Rozanov takes the poached, lured, Khrustalniy children, which are all very young still, apart from Aleksandra. Or those who are essentially Rozanov's pupils which whom Eteri Georgiyevna has little business. AFAIK, the Academy isn't too far from Khrustalniy, which doesn't make it harder for parents to deliver and pick up their children when they also live in the South of Moscow.
No doubt Plyushchenko wants to be seen with Trusova as much as possible (which leaves Konstantinova where, unceremoniously dumped by the sidelines or shifted off to some show troupe?)
I do stand with my observation that Aleksandra likes exclusive attention towards herself, which she can exploit for herself too obviously, if she and her parents plays some clever games themselves.
Also, I think one shouldn't underestimate the lure on certain parents of mixing with the 'beau monde' surrounding the Plyushchenko family, 'who want to belong' and to look down on the common raffle.
The whole unfolding of this (drama?), will be most interesting to follow from the sociological, psychological, emotional and human aspects. Russian figure skating has never been so exciting and controversial before ;-)
And of course actual competition is good, division of politics, fractioning of power too.
I will apologize you if you can show this..
