Acording to sport-express.ru Italy will replace Ukraine in Yeltsin Cup
For this competition, most probably teams will be resting their main players. My Russian starting 7 for this would be:
S: akulova
OH: Kosheleva, Goncharova
OPP: alisheva
MB: Moroz, Merkulova
L: Ulanova
Meanwhile, interesting to see Italy! It's been a while since Russia and Italy face each other. (Was it Edison Cup in 2010?)

2011 World Grand prix qualifier
Intresting u ask this Bibetron, because Russia and Italy have faced each other very few times since the game in ECH 2007 when Gamova was very angry at the italians for calling the russians "tall clumsy skyscrapers". I think the match-up Italy vs. Russia is one of the less contested match-ups last 5 yrs. actually, the only meetings I can remeber is this:
WGP qualies 2008 in Omsk (for 2009 WGP): Russia won I think but dont remember exact score.
Olympics 2008: Italy 3x1
WGP qualies 2010 in Italy (for 2011 WGP): Russia already qualified played with B-squad without Gamova, and Italy won 3-1.
Some more matches I have missed? They also played some friendly games I guess. However, only around three "real" matches last 5 yrs. is very few for the two giants of the continent.
