Thank you. I have added these programmes to the Original Post of this thread.
While I'm here, I'm sorry but I forgot to let everybody know that I made a further update to Alina's Original Post on Monday. Not only have most of the blank cells in the Competitive History table been filled, but a lot of additional competitions have also been added.
Many thanks to Myslitel for all the additional information.
Also, after receiving some feedback last night about the right-hand side of the tables in the first posts of threads being cut off by adverts, I have now changed all the tables to the smallest font size, so as to enable more of the table to be seen in one go. It won't solve the problem completely, but it will hopefully help to make things a little less inconvenient.

ok guys, here is some translation (thx google translate for making it a bit easier and faster, at the same time completely screwing up some parts 
)
- Alina, last season was a real breakthrough for you. Will you surprise us in this one?
- We decided not to change the free program, so we are keeping "Don Quixote", I will again appear in the image of
Kitri. The program turned out to be good, everyone liked it. I also really like it. The program is complex. We have
changed some of the jump entries, and we are improving it a bit. I need to skate this program confidently, to do
everything cleanly, without any mistakes, because it will be my first adult season and I need to skate confidently.
A short program was made by Daniel Markovich Gleyhengauz. It's called the Black Swan.
- The story is borrowed from the film?
- No, we came up with a story about how an innocent white swan is born in the world, and faces up the cruelty and
reality of our world, gradually becoming what it is necessary to be in this world for the achievement of results
and knowledge of perfection.
- Philosophical theme.
- Yes.
- When did you start making the program?
- At the end of last season, in April. We have chosen the music in advance. This is Clint Mansell "Black Swan" Ost,
Nicholas Britell "The Middle of the World" (Moonlight). The program was almost done before my vacation. Now at the
training camp in Novogorsk we polish the programs entirely. Technically, the jumping set will remain the same as I
showed at the Russian Championship.
- If it's not a secret, where did you spend your vacation?
We flew to the Dominican Republic. This was, perhaps, my first vacation for the last 3-4 years, which we spent with
the whole family. I was very happy to be with my parents, my sister, because I rarely see my relatives: I live with
my grandmother in Moscow, they are in Izhevsk.
First three days i was trying to regain consciousness. And, to be honest, I just wasn't doing anything. Then I went
to the gym, the hotel had a fitness center with simulators. I began to train, do the exercises that we were told to
do, i was running, jumping etc. In the summer, you can not relax especially, even on vacation.
- How long did you stay in the Dominican Republic?
- 10 days.
- Not long enough, probably?
- Then we went to Izhevsk, and it was great. At home I met with friends whom I had not seen for a long time, went
to a skating rink, talked with my relatives, grandmothers, and grandfathers. They congratulated me, rejoiced. I was
pleased.
Also, my grandmother surprised me. In order to follow my performances on the ice, she learned how to use the
computer. Now she is in my VKontakte(vk.com) group, reads and watches everything. She told me that if she is not in
a good mood, she makes the volume of the computer sound loud, searches for my programs on YouTube and starts to
watch them. After that, the mood is getting better.
- Tell me, how did they meet you at the rink?
- I went there to watch the training of my younger sister, she also is engaged in figure skating. I did not expect,
honestly, that the kids will meet me like that! I was immediately surrounded and almost knocked down. They had a
training session, and because of me everyone was distracted. So I told them: "Let's get back to training." Training
time should be appreciated. This I clearly understood for myself.
- Your dad is a hockey coach, he's probably proud of your successes?
- Of course. And at the same time he says: "Of course, you're a fine fellow. But we must move forward, do not
relax." I have such conversation after each competition. He's like training me at home. The coach is the coach.
- So now you are at the training camp in Novogorsk, sport life continues?
Well I try, as I can, to paint my life. Recently I got a friend - a little chinchilla. I named her Dymka
(translates as something like "Smoke"). Now I'm talking to you on the phone, and she looks at me with her eyes, as
if she understands everything. Grandmother brought her for a short time from home, otherwise I really miss her.
This is such a cute and warm little animal, I think that Dymka will be my favorite and devoted fan.
- Wish you all the success, Alina.

Checked on Wikipedia, and yes, Eteri's daughter is Diana. It's not that I am particularly interested in Eteri's private life, but I didn't know her daughter was born in Las Vegas. But does it mean Eteri was (or is) married to some American dude named Davis?
Again, it's not something where I really put my interest....

topic: its unclear story, i haven't seen any confirmed information about that, only rumors. Also, seems like Eteri doesn't want to make it public, so we can only guess.

OMG How did I miss this? I've been busy. This just blew my mind.
There is a new interview (in russian) with Daniil Gleyhengauz where he mention Zagi's new program. He said that program ends with "changing of clothes". I am new to figure skating, and so far i have only seen this kind of thing in EX. So my question is, how common is for sportsmen to change his clothes during a competitive progam? Are there any precendents?

It isn't really popular but it was done before. For example last season Laurine Lecavelier had this kind of trick in her Grease FS.

Thanks. The costume change will be very appropriate for a Black Swan program. I cannot wait.
