Other skaters from Crystal rink like Sasha Trusova said before that Crystal rink is a competitive work place and that they aren't really close friends there. Evgenia's word are not that different from that.

I think it's from the Olympic Channel interview.link, please
That's my problem with her interviews. Almost a year ago she said that all her friends are at her new place and that she was very happy in Canada. Now I read that she had a year of struggle and tough adjustments and her friends are in Moscow.
But my biggest problem is that such a large and profound interview not to some random guys but to ISU appears now, on July 15. I would understand it much bettter if it would have come out close to New Year when she wins her GP stages, GPF, and tells the world what a long way she had to go since Olympics to regain her former glory. Yes, you could refer it to my "Russian mentality" but I read this interview like "it was hard work for me before and now I have fun". Come on, is this sport about winning medals or about having fun?
I remember when Michelle Kwan abruptly cut ties with her long-time coaching/choreography team of Frank Carroll and Lori Nichol in 2001. It was awkward; some feelings were hurt. If there was a majority opinion among U.S. fans I think it was something like, "What are you thinking in your silly head, Michelle. The Dream Team has led you to 4 world championships!"
However, there was such a reservoir of good will towards all three of them that fans in general did not rush in to place blame. Stuff happens. Good luck to all of them.

This scares me.

Thank you for reminding me again how hilarious Sasha‘s “stay kind... and tear everyone down. Into pieces“ brothers are.
“Stay kind,” said the elder brother, and “tear everyone apart” - the younger brother. He is still small, and still does not know that you need to be diplomatic
As for the second part... She did just win a Worlds bronze after the toughest season she ever had and after many people wrote her off, thinking she‘d either bomb or not make it there at all. I can see why people would be interested in such a story. \
Well, Daniil probably gets a monthly fee that probably adds up over 15000$ a year. Compare that to a one-time cost of 15000$- I doubt that It is cheaper to have a permanent in-house choreographer. In addition to that you also have to pay insurance for him etc... I really believe it is cheaper the way Mishin does it.
Internet wasn't a thing back then as much as it is now
Probably this is what was meant, but that is not what she rally says. She says "I can't speak of friendship, I'm not sure whether I have them" (at least that's how it was translated), that means "our friendship was not tested yet." This is another thing that can be felt differently in the east and west. Can't speak for Russia, but in my country when someone speaks about friend, it is a person that you can rely on in hard situations, who will help you, support you. Not just someone with whom you speak every day and wgho smiles at you (and I believe this will be quite similar in Russia). Which doeasn't mean you can't be friendly in contact. Also, as was stagted here that "environment is not so friendly at Khrustanyi, she says exact opposite: "At figure skating rink we have very friendly environment."
I know and that‘s what makes it so endearing. The cute little boy who proudly announces his sister will tear all her competition apart. Children tell the truth of what they think, they do not need to be diplomatic yet. Thankfully because it leads to situations like that. It’s such a funny yet genuinely honest moment that I have to laugh every time I see it.
This a very good explanation. I don't want to offend anyone but don't expect users from the western emisphere to completely understand your words I lost count how much fake news got spread through comments here because of translation misunderstandings, not to mention russian /american/ western cultural contrasts. Some things are hard to get and you can not blame them
Recently I was really shocked arguing on reddit with an american - a strong critic of Eteri T., whom he accused of starving the students. Challenging this person, he finnally admited that the so called Eteri methods concerning diets, weight control issues, are pretty common in US and in general in the skating world but he still condemned Eteri because in US the coaches at least speak publicly about the importance of skaters putting their health first. I find that hypocritical, if a coach speaks on TV against it doesn't really mean he doesn't do it during practice. The "image" is really important for them
I don't like Zhenya.
