Athletistic/Figure skating. Producer Yana Rudkovskaya, wife of two-time Olympic figure skating champion Evgeni Plushenko, commented on Alina Zagitova’s show “Keepers of Time”, which premiered in Kazan. Rudkovskaya accused the show’s director Zagitova of plagiarism, comparing it with fragments of Plushenko’s show “The Little Mermaid”, and at the same time ironically responded to Zagitova’s arrogant statements.

“I have great respect for Alina Zagitova as a figure skater, and she knows it. She is one of the most beautiful and graceful athletes in the world. Millions of girls started figure skating after her triumph at the Olympic Games and are still inspired by her performances and images on the ice. Like many others, we would like to see her in our shows, but unfortunately, this has not happened yet.

All this is indisputable, but since Alina said in an interview that she is now also a producer and is ready to compete with Navka, Rudkovskaya and Averbukh, then, as they say, “call yourself a milk mushroom – get in the back.” I admit that producer Alina Zagitova may not be interested in our show with Evgeniy, although I strongly recommend her to do it. But the director of her show seemed to be in the front row of our “Little Mermaid.”

Advice from an experienced producer: contact only the best and try to be original.

And one more thing: sold out – this is when all the tickets are sold before the show starts, and there is a huge rush.

With all my love, your friend Yana Rudkovskaya (producer with 20 years of experience),” Rudkovskaya wrote on her Telegram channel.
