You have to be careful with false friends though :) For example in Russian "огонь" means "fire" but in Polish "ogon" means "tail". It took me some time to figure out that "вращение" means "spin" because it sounds similar to the Polish word for "impression" ("wrażenie").

Yeah, I know :) Still, it's easier for us to learn Russian, and for Russian to learn Polish :) Btw. "ogon" is similiar to "ogień" (fire) though!

Don't think so. Looks like a rink in Poland to me

I'm quite sure Katia's in Torun now (and that there is Sylwia Nowak-Trębacka in a background of the video). Axel Torun club has been organizing camps for figure skaters from all the country as there are no many ice rinks open in summer in Poland. So Katia has both ice and her boyfriend in Torun at the moment (she also shared photos with Filip) ;)

Yup, I think that is the Tor-Tor icerink (training rink attached to the main rink) in Torun, Poland. This is the same rink that hosts the Mentor Torun Cup.

The MKS Axel Torun Facebook page has some photos of Team Axel Torun training at the same rink.

Now just waiting for them to upload new Katia content.

It's incredible that Katia is 18 now... She looks so young :)
Happy birthday, dear Kasia!!!
I wish your all dreams come true, our beautiful sunshine!

Seems like we will get a Benoit Richaud program from Katya this year! He posted a photo/clip of her on his insta story like he does with all of his students :)
Excited to see what kind of program he will do with her :)

According to MKS Axel Torun, Katia and Benoit are working on a new free program...

https://www.facebook.com/axeltorun/videos/609392216661952/?__so__=channel_tab&__rv__=all_videos_card

Our player, Polish Champion, Ekaterina Kurakova, is currently at a short group in Curchevel, where under the eye of the choreography master Benoit Richaud, a new program is being created.... it will be nostalgic, mysterious and very interesting.... a program in which surely we will see the new, unknown face of Katya... Can you guess what will create a musical illustration of this artwork?

Belinda Schönberger (former Austrian figure skater) is providing the video content with maybe more to come...
