Unlikely, yes. But why not a nice move? She can benefit both from a good coaching and by the presence of more experienced skaters around.
I think plushy was tarankanovas last chance. She obviously is some complicated emotional teenager. ATM there are too many talented Russian ladies out there. Why should russfed still bother with an emotional teenager? They will invest in the many similar talented kids/ladies out there. Goodbye beautiful high rippon lutzesTarakanova and Mishin? Highly unlikely. I don't know what's on professor's mind. He is 78 now - seems like the time to focus. He and his team achieved with Liza some truly amazing progress this season and yet they face serious challenges in the season to come. Sofia won the Europeans and represented Russia in 2 world championships. But without going forward she will hardly repeat this success. Lazukin has a chance to become the leading Russian man with much higher international status if he adds another stable quad to his SP and FP. I am even not talking about his other students. That's a lot of work to do. Bringing struggling Nastya does not look like an option.
P.S. I am glad that people no longer name her "Tarankova".

In my completely amateurish opinion I hope not, Misha's SP suited he much better.
Tarakanova wisely stated in her answer that she will not divulge into the conditions of her being accepted back to Snow Leopards again, I assume she is on probation under quite strict terms.
I hope both parties can work successfully together and Anastasiya will be comfortable again in the presence of other girls her age.
So far, the internet lynch mob went mostly after Plyushchenko.
As owner/director and chief trainer of his Academy he also needs to re-assess his position with respect to national team members under his charge.
Anastasiya’s chances are of more concern to most of us than his business.
Is David Wilson Evgenia's choreographer again? With Muse I can image a typical Wilson program without much transitions or sparks. I think dramatic music work better for Evgenia than an abstract and slow piece.
One key is how much damage puberty will do to her. We will see.
She should have returned to the greatest coach for the ladies. Nastya is very up and down. If she settles down she can still become very good. One key is how much damage puberty will do to her. We will see.
Just from pure interest where do these rumours about Nastya being a problematic athlete come from? I haven't heard anything on that topic from Team Tutberidze for example and they do have very high working ethics.
This instagram account seemed to have communicated with Alena Kanysheva and asked her some questions. I thought it was interesting, even though I‘m not sure where they got their information from and whether they‘re entirely credible. But according to that Alena and Panova seemed to have separated on friendly terms, as she names her as one of her favorite coaches. Her favorite jump is the lutz (not surprising, given her strong technique ), her favorite skaters are Zhenya, Alina and Nathan and her Alena Kostornaya is her best friend in the group.

I personally, once more, doubt Plushy's abilities.
He is very PR driven, but has to yet show some good results. So far, all the top skaters who went there didnt last, and all left with negative comments from Plushy himself.
When does JGP start? August?
LOL, puberty will do no damage to her. She is already quite tall, but seems naturally athletic, strong and very fit.
Working with young adolescents is never easy, but once the trainers have found the right buttons to press in the correct order, things will usually work out.
Her relative position at Snow Leopards won't change, she is still the oldest of their juniors and a very welcome addition to their ranks.
Anastasiya will be regarded as the leader of that pack of little snow leopard cubs, and by character she could be.
Plus she has a certain commanding presence and authority in her voice and demeanour.
She seems to me one of those people that could be your best friend but also your worst enemy.
