RBC asked for comments to Eteri Tutberidze and Tatiana Navka.
Since 2025, Sokolovskaya has been coaching at the Academy of Tatiana Navka “Our Hopes”.
20-year-old Valieva throughout his adult career trained in the group Tutberidze. In January 2024, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) suspended Valiyeva for four years for violating anti-doping rules. During the suspension, the skater could not participate in competitions, but continued to maintain athletic form and perform in ice shows.
In the autumn of 2025, shortly before the end of the period of disqualification, Valieva announced the resumption of her career. At the same time, she completed her cooperation with Tutberidze and began to prepare for her return to the sport under the leadership of Sokolovskaya at the Academy of Tatiana Navka.
