EG doesn’t even have to release her, any administrative person in Sambo can sign Aliona’s documents. The problem at the moment is that Aliona didn’t even apply to transfer (submit her papers) in the first place, that’s why RusFed keeps commenting on this. She can’t get released, if she didn’t apply for it...
I don’t think Plushenko would’ve just forgotten about paperwork... is Aliona hesitating, I wonder?
Yeah, no. I really doubt that, especially since they've already started choreographing her programs.
