There is an international fans area on the discussion board also, where you can write in english. https://vk.com/topic-69564002_32961566

This is the complete Nathalie's comment, that was published on IZ group. Unfortunately it's in russian but apparently Uhh is not the only person that heard the same comments from her. Not that Nathalie's words are the bible in anycase, mind you, but since we do not have the original audio and I do not believe a word coming from MarieM's mouth I think it's worth to copy the link here also.
Doesn't open for me...

Strange, it works for me. Try this one. The text it's below the picture.
p.s. A big favor, when you have time. Can you translate in english, please?

No, it doesn't work - obviously, it's necessary to be a member of the group...
I've just clicked a request button to enter it - but even if they accept, it won't happen at once...

I'll tell you later but it's easy. I entered with my FB account. They need a phone number though, if you're willing to give yours.

They no longer ask for phone # if you log in through FB. I just logged in through FB, it was literally a two click process, then enter a password, then one more click.

I think they will ask for it later. That's what happened with me at least. I looged like you through FB, very easy, and I don't know why after a month they asked for the phone.
Honestly though why do people find it so easy to say the most nasty things about Lena, repeatedly? Despite her nervousness you could tell that she wasn't the tentative one today. At test skates Ruslan was much more into it and fluid. Each of them had these minor miscues in the FD but certain persons who will remain nameless just constantly harp on the fact that Lena is the one who is under-trained. I think it borders on slander and is really distasteful. I'm contemplating reporting and blocking in this fan fest if the disease spreads.

I agree. While there was much to discuss at COC, it should be reminded that this is a Fan Thread. Constructive opinions and positives only.

I can’t wait to see what Elena and Ruslan are skating to at the Gala. To this point, I’ve watched their SD and FD performances from the test skates, Mordovian Ornament, and CoC a bazillion times, so I really am needing/hoping for something new from them in the exhibition.
One thing I would like Elena and Ruslan to do is consult with Chesnichenko and Nechaeva to work on matching their free legs and arm/leg extensions. Chesnichenko and Nechaeva’s past teams of Samuelson/Bates, Samuelson/Gilles, Hubbell & Hubbell, and Kriengkrairut/Giulietti-Schmitt were sublime in regard to this. They did wonders with Samuelson/Gilles matching extensions in a short period of 6 months and S/G performing at U.S. Nationals as a brand new team; their FD to “Stairway to Heaven” is one of my faves. Also, their teams had some really cool and beautiful lifts especially Kriengkrairut/Giulietti-Schmitt and Samuelson/Gilles; those teams only had a height different of 5 and 6 inches which is about the same for Elena and Ruslan. Just a suggestion.

They are using their SD choreography with I put a spell on you (Annie Lennox) in the gala. I didn't see that one coming...
Lol its not like using Swan lake in their SD. Btw I like her dress. Its far more bold than her competition dresses.
I just overslept the gala. Did someone watched it
Yup, it was cool. She should wear that dress for the actual SD. Shows off the beautiful extension she has in her legs. Just sayin...

Thank you.
That`s definitely the right skirt length for Elena. If this is her orginal SD dress, I`m all for switching it with the one she had for the competition. The dress she had on for the comp is cute, but her gala dress fits the Queen theme much better. As generic as it was, I also liked Ruslan`s Gala outfit much better than the suit he was wearing during the SD. I think his outfit should be more loose. Maybe he should wear a jacket with rolled-up sleeves for the SD.
