This article is from the book signing in Ufa - http://www.bashvest.ru/showinf.php?id=19130"The 4x World Champion, triple European Champion and Olympic Champion Alexei Yagudin, recently a singer, actor and writer appeared not only on ice at the Ufa arena but also in one of the bookstores of the city. During the daytime Alexei signed copies of his book and in the evening, together with other participants in the international stage of show "Ice Age" he performed his programs. He was one of the few, who found time in order to meet with the journalists. Alexei arrived on time as promised. He dressed very simply and inconspiculousy. He spoke in a calm voice without special emotions. When people requested a photograph with him he rejected no one. He posed but did not smile. "We flew in to your city on the eve of the appearance but we had time to sightsee - the driver of the taxi politely showed us the old part of the city and the also the new including the arena which we would be performing in." The remainder of the article covers various aspects of Alexei's life - he mentions how he taught Vika Dayneko to virtually stand on skates and how she taught him to appear in the music video. In the summer Sasha Savelyeva promises to earnestly teach Alexei vocal technique but Alexei emphasizes that he does not plan to rush headlong into some profession that he had not intended. The question is asked about his Tartar roots and Alexei mentions that his grandmother is. Karenna
