Here are some thoughts on the teams:
Ak Bars: Very similar team to last season. I expect them to be a bit stronger and dominate again the league.
Lokomotiv: Kapralova replaces Voronkova, Kisy Karakurt. Not as strong as last season but they have been almost unbeatable in the playoffs in recent years...
Krasnodar: Ezhak is back. This should make the team stronger than last season.
Moscow: Kapustina is back and Gilyazutdinov took over. They can't do worse than last season but making the final would be a surprise.
Metar: A lot of changes. It will be difficult to be as succesfull as last season.
Korabelka: The new team has some strong players like Filishtinskaia, Bobrova and Nesterova. They should do a lot better than Sparta last season.
Leningradka: Chernova, Tsibulko and Maksimova were replaced by Yurieva, Ruban and Russu. At the moment not as strong as last season but this might change until spring.
Minchanka: Several changes. I do not expect much from them.
Proton: The biggest and maybe the strongest squad in years.
Tulitsa: Several changes. They had a disappointing season. Should be somewhere in the middle of the league table.
Uralochka: Hardly any changes to the roster. I expect them to be slightly better than last season.
Omichka: One of the weaker teams. Only small changes. Smaller squad than last season.
Yenisey: Kostina is back and replaces Frolova. A lot of young, interesting players. The should do a little better than last season.
Zarechie: The surprise team of last season. I do not expect them to reach again the top 4.

Filishtinskaya is almost 35. Why would you include her when your nation is not allowed to compete in the short (and probably) mediem term? I would've preferred Ozerova, Volodina (still injured?) or Khlebnikova.

I'm surprised with the inclusion of Biryukova. Last time I saw her, she was mediocre. Liking most of the picks although I would've thought it would be more of young players born in 2000+. Would like to see Kobzar there instead of Filishtinskaya. I wonder if Kadochkina-Tolok would be opp full time from now on? Excited to see this team in action!
Biryukova has clearly better reception stats, attack is almost the same https://volleyservice.ru/index…ic&act=main_stat&gender=f

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.
