I thought the league and cup modes were a bit strange this season. There was the "normal" cup which ended in December. The league had 14 teams, of which the top 8 made the playoffs. Teams 9 to 14 started a new cup. They played each other once. The top 4 played the losers of the league QF (two games playoff). The four winners played another round to determine the two teams to join the league semifinalists for the final 6. Omichka, who finished 13th in the league and has to play the second best team from league A to stay in the Superleague, hadn't played a competitive match for over a month before the playouts.

Ushakov is the new NT coach (https://volley.ru/news/01JSKJA4GHE80A187CA2T00YW0). Would've preferred Marichev...

Uralochka has so many tall girls: Protopopova, Shvydkaya, Nikitina, Shnip, Sokolova (2008) and now Dahlke. But they like using players below 190 to start.
Height isn't everything. I prefer Pavlova (186 cm, 2006) over Protopovoa (195 cm, 2004)...

Rishat Gilyazutdinov is the new Dinamo Moscow Head Coach.
With Kapustina back, they need a good foreign OH to become challengers again.
-
It looks like Korabelka (St. Petersburg) will replace Sparta in the Superleague next season. This will bring Nesterova back to the top league (unless she goes abroad...).
-
I'm afraid Lokomotiv forced Parubets to come back early and she felt her knee injury.
Did she play? I only saw Zaitseva's injury.

Leningradka won the first game (3:2) in the second place match (best of 5) in Kaliningrad. Loko lost the third set after leading 24:19!

I heard she is pregnant
Indeed (https://championat48.ru/2024/0…na-vzyala-pauzu-v-karere/). I hope she will come back.

Visa & MC are accepted. Have you tried it?
I tried MC but payment did not work. It is odd that they give Visa/MC as an option considering that they suspended Russian operations two years ago (https://www.bbc.com/news/business-60637429)...

Transfer overview https://sport.business-gazeta.ru/news/294303
Among others:
- Ushakov new Zarechye coach
- Voronkov and daughter back in Kaliningrad
- Dmitrieva second setter for Kaliningrad
- a lot of setter changes
- Tulits and Proton with big changes
- Omsk seems to keep most of the league a team. Added only setter Lapato and OH Tkacheva so far.
-
Omichka Omsk will play in the Superleague next season. They lost their first relegation match against Kursk, but didn't lose a single set in their other three matches.
Let's hope they can find some players and money to make a competitive team next season. Something Kursk could not do... They had a really small squad and lacked quality. On the other hand, it is very difficult to start planning a Superleague team after the season...

Parubets' curse
Some positive changes at Dinamo Moscow. Koshkin will be the new coach. He is one of the most exciting Russian coaches and did well at smaller clubs (Sakhalin and Dinamo Metar. Will be interesting to see what he can do with good players.
Team next season:
- setters: Smelenko (sucks for Proton who lost Gatina and Smelenko), Popova-Sinitsyna
- OPP: Goncharova, Yurieva (used to be OH)
- OH: Kapustina, Kupryashkina (probably happy to leave Uralochka...), Shevchuk (not sure about this transfer...), unknown foreigner
- MB: Pushina, Lazarenko, Polyakova, Volodina (17 and probably won't play much)
- libero: Podkopaeva, Khabibrakhmanova
IMHO the last player should be a strong receiver.

The finals start today for those interested in sport...

Erdogan hasnt invaded a country and isnt waging a war, its a pivotal difference. Hence the situations are not really comparable.
While there are violations of human rights in Turkey, it isnt really close to Russian level. Putin and his barbaric regime in Kremlin has killed hundreds of journalists and hundreds of businessmen during his time in power and Erdogan isnt remotely close to achieving such numbers.
Türkiye invaded Syria and is still occupying part of it... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/…upation_of_northern_Syria

Start of semis today.
Moscow plays against Loko. Both were struggling in the previous round. Loko won the last match in January (with Galkina). Considering that Loko always makes the final and they have the third game at home I would say they are slight favourites.
Kazan plays Leningradka. They only won one set against them in the qulification...

I'm surprised he can even go to those matches. He doesn't doze off?
Playoff games were coached by Mikhail Karpol.
