Kristina and Alexei on the cover of "Moscow Skater": http://cs624828.vk.me/v624828912/46940/nHi1-cf17iU.jpg

And a very long article with interviews inside by Olga Verezemskaya.

It's really worth the read. I liked them even more after reading the interviews.
Dmitriev explains their chemistry: "Kristina and Alexei - two opposites. They are so different that, apparently, it holds them together." :)

Thank you for the links! They were so impressive in their first season together, so I can't wait to see how amazing they are now. Everyone talks about how special Alexei is, and I wholeheartedly agree. But Kristina has impressed me a lot with her charisma, presentation, and landing ability(she's very good with her triple jumps and I was impressed with how she handled the landings on the throws last year when they hadn't quite gotten the feel of it). It would be easy for a skater to pale with such a capable and charismatic partner like alexei, but I don't see this with her at all. I agree with Dmitriev- they're different but match so well. It's going to be tough, but it would be great if they made it to the Olympics in 2018.

I like Kristina very much. She is very tough but still elegant. Dmitriev said he'd identified her potential years ago. I believe he knows talent when he sees it. :)

quiqie from FSU has translated the article:

I've just now had a chance to read the interview, and I must say I'm very surprised their exhibition program was put together so quickly on the fly. It's one of my most favorite exhibition programs of the last season!

I was also glad to read from the journalist and from Dmitriev how gentlemanly Rogonov is. I got that kind of impression from seeing them skate, and it was nice to get confirmation. :)

Now that is interesting. Field/Stevens lacked some of the big tricks, but had good power in skating.

I like their new SP! The step sequence is well chroreographed and the transition between the throw 3F and the spin is really interesting.
Alexei is awesome as always (Kristina's great too ^^).

They are such a joy to watch :clap:

Rogonov looks bigger than last season. I guess it's true that he spent a lot of time in gym, although I don't know if it's very good for their skating.
I like their FD, I see tons of potential there. Hopefully they will not dissapoint! :)

I'm not in love with this program but their costumes are really nice. Hope they change my mind at Skate America!!! Can't wait.
