I got a little distracted by other things and didn't finish my rankings until the adult test skate. But it's even good, as I saw new programs and can compare with the very best that was done in the last staff. Let's discuss the three best programs conscious for Andrei by the trio Davydenko-Lunin-Koscheev, and I will of course compare their results with the first results of the duo Gleichengauz and Tutberidze.
Okay, here we go.
That program was very good, but Andrei had better programs. Which ones? I'll tell you next time.

2020-2021 SP “That Enigma Program”
Music: Enigma - Sadeness (Part II)
Image: Marquis de Sade, nothing more, nothing less.
This was the first adult season for seventeen y.o. Andrei. Literally this program was the first thing he performed at open rentals, his first public performance. And damn it, it became an event. It was so unexpected to see how Andrei had grown professionally in just a couple months. And we remember that this was a pandemic season, when preparations for the season were crunched due to space constraints. Under such conditions, Andrei managed to make a qualitative leap, and his team managed to prepare him for it.
One of the conditions for the rapid transformation were the programs. Let's start with the short program, which made a little less impression, but still remains the favorite program of many spectators.
What was special about it? Well, first of all, it was unexpected classical music in electronic processing (“Sadeness” starts with the famous “Toccata & Fugue for Organ in D Minor” by Sebastian Bach), which sounded very cool on the ice. Choreography with an emphasis on classical ballet choreography (Andrei even performed a version of the fouetté, bouncing). Successfully accented movements. Beautiful costume (one of Andrei's best costumes). Finally, the very fact that such a young athlete skates something so sensual (Marquis de Sade!) was shocking and eye-catching. All this somehow coincided so well that the program made a magical impression and captivated. Even with constant mistakes (Andrei showed only 2 error-free skate of this program during the season).
Andrei loved this program very much. He even planned to keep it for the 2021-2022 Olympic season and performed it three times: at the test skates, at the competition in Minsk and at the Denis Ten Memorial. But then he realized he couldn't hear that music anymore, and his team set him a new short program.
He also tried to keep it as a demonstration number and performed it at the Golden Spin of Zagreb. But that idea too was eventually abandoned.
However, it is one of Andrei's three programs that was a head and shoulders above the others, and it gets a well-deserved bronze medal. Sade, I'm still following you!
