An excerpt characterizing Kirillova, Elena Igorevna

– Do you like my surprise, Madonna? – Satisfied with the effect produced, asked Karaffa.
The most incredible thing was that this strange man completely sincerely did not understand what deep mental pain he caused me with his “surprise”!.. Seeing HERE (!!!) what was once the real “hearth” of my family happiness and peace, I wanted only one thing - to rush at this terrible “holy” Pope and strangle him in a mortal embrace until his terrifying black soul flies away from him forever... But instead of realizing what I wanted so much, I just tried to pull myself together , so that Caraffa would not hear how my voice was trembling, and said as calmly as possible:
- Excuse me, Your Holiness, can I stay here alone for a while?
- Well, of course, Isidora! These are now your chambers! I hope you like them.
Did he really not understand what he was doing?!.. Or, on the contrary, he knew perfectly well?.. And it was just that his restless atrocity “had fun”, which still could not find peace, inventing some new tortures for me? !.. Suddenly I was struck by a burning thought - what, in this case, happened to everything else?.. What happened to our wonderful home, which we all loved so much? What happened to the servants and servants, to all the people who lived there?!
“Can I ask Your Holiness what happened to our ancestral palace in Venice?” I whispered in a voice that had shrunk from excitement. – What happened to those who lived there?.. You didn’t throw people out into the street, I hope? They don’t have another home, Holiness!..
Karaffa winced with displeasure.
- For mercy, Isidora! Should you take care of them now?.. Your house, as you, of course, understand, has now become the property of our most holy church. And everything that was connected with him is no longer your concern!
– My house, like everything that is inside it, Your Holiness, after the death of my beloved husband, Girolamo, belongs to my daughter Anna while she is alive! – I exclaimed indignantly. – Or does the “holy” church no longer consider her a resident in this world?!
Everything was seething inside me, although I perfectly understood that by getting angry, I was only complicating my already hopeless situation. But Caraffa’s unceremoniousness and impudence, I am sure, could not leave any normal person calm! Even when it was just about desecrated memories dear to his heart...
– As long as Anna is alive, she will be here, Madonna, and serve our beloved holy church! Well, if, unfortunately for her, she changes her mind, she, one way or another, will no longer need your wonderful home! – Karaffa hissed furiously. – Don’t overdo it in your zeal to find justice, Isidora! It can only harm you. My patience also has limits... And I sincerely do not advise you to cross them!..
Turning sharply, he disappeared through the door, without even saying goodbye or informing how long I could remain alone in my so unexpectedly resurrected past...
Time stopped... mercilessly throwing me, with the help of Caraffa’s sick fantasy, into my happy, cloudless days, not at all worrying that such an unexpected “reality” could simply stop my heart...
I sadly sank down on a chair by the familiar mirror, in which the beloved faces of my relatives were so often once reflected... And now, surrounded by dear ghosts, I sat all alone... Memories suffocated with the power of their beauty and deeply executed with bitter sadness our departed happiness...
Once upon a time (now it seemed like a very long time ago!) at this same huge mirror I combed my little Anna’s wonderful, silky hair every morning, playfully giving her her first children’s lessons at the “witch” school... In the same mirror, Girolamo’s eyes, burning with love, were reflected , affectionately hugging me by the shoulders... This mirror reflected thousands of carefully preserved, wondrous moments that now stirred my wounded, tormented soul to the very depths.
Here, nearby, on a small night table, stood a wonderful malachite box in which rested my magnificent jewelry, so generously once given to me by my kind husband, and which aroused the wild envy of the rich and capricious Venetians in those distant, bygone days... Only today this box was empty... Someone’s dirty, greedy hands managed to “put away” everything, the “shiny trinkets” stored there, appreciating only the monetary value of each individual thing... For me, it was my memory, These were the days of my pure happiness: the evening of my wedding... the birth of Anna... some of my long-forgotten victories or events of our life together, each of which was celebrated with a new work of art, the right to which only I had the right... .These were not just “stones” that were expensive, it was the care of my Girolamo, his desire to make me smile, and his admiration for my beauty, which he was so sincerely and deeply proud of, and so honestly and passionately loved... And so Now these pure memories were touched by someone’s lustful, greedy fingers, on which, cowering, our desecrated love wept bitterly...

On Sunday, the Russian women's basketball team won the European Championship and qualified for the 2012 Olympic Games. It is also very pleasant that the brightest star of the last tournament was our Alena DANILOCHKINA, who did not start it in this status. As a result, not only her rivals could not resist her talent, but also the organizing committee of the championship, which recognized the Russian as the most valuable player of EuroBasket. In an interview with Novye Izvestia, the basketball player shared her impressions of all these events.

Alena, the current situation is somewhat similar to the fairy tale about Cinderella. Who would have thought before the European Championship that you would turn out to be its best player... You yourself were probably surprised by this turn of events?

– A few years ago, club coaches told me: if you play for the national team, it will only be as a playmaker. But for some reason, the team didn’t trust me with the position of point guard. For some time, the national team generally relied on foreigners, in particular, on Becky Hammon. Yes, and I was haunted by injuries and sores, as a result I missed the European Championships in 2007 and 2009, as well as the Olympics in Beijing. Now I have fully recovered, and our coach Boris Ilyich Sokolovsky believed in me. At first I simply released him in the starting lineup, but then he transferred me to the position of number one, and I began to direct the team’s actions. I must say that I am a calm, cool-blooded person, so I quickly overcame my anxiety and simply began to show what I was capable of. And the girls supported me. They, like Sokolovsky, believed in me.

How did you celebrate the victory?

– We couldn’t fall asleep for a long time because of our joy. There were a lot of congratulations, naturally, champagne. Now the celebrations will probably continue in Moscow. In general, we still need to realize that we are European champions.

But the equanimity with which you regularly hit the ring of your rivals was truly champion...

– This may sound immodest, but at this Euro I simply played to my strength. I didn't do anything supernatural. And equanimity... This quality is really inherent in me. I’m used to making decisions without giving in to emotions. Although deep down, emotions, of course, are boiling. When I was recognized as MVP of the tournament, tears naturally came to my eyes. It's good that I didn't cry. By the way, even after the semi-final with the Czech Republic, girls came up to me and said that, most likely, they would give me MVP. Then I took it calmly. If they give it, that’s good, but it’s more important that the team wins.

At the start of the championship, the team was criticized a lot, especially after the defeat to Belarus and the painful victory over Great Britain. Have unflattering reviews reached your ears?

– Yes, we have received criticism. It was, of course, unpleasant. But we didn’t like the way we played against the English. As a result, there were even meetings without coaches. On the eve of the playoffs, the girls and I said to each other: “Let's prove to everyone that we can play good basketball.” So the comments were only beneficial.

When do you think the turning point came and self-confidence appeared?

– When we beat Turkey in the preliminary group stage. In the first quarter they simply crushed their opponents. This was the moment when even the substitutes felt confident.

In the final we had to beat Turkey again...

– The main thing was to get ready for the game.

Even before the start of the European Championship, you signed a contract with Nadezhda from Orenburg. Do you regret it? Now your value, figuratively speaking, has increased significantly.

- No, I don’t regret it. I'm sure I did everything right. Signed a good contract. I am satisfied with everything.

I know that you are not very willing to make contact with journalists. What is this connected with?

– I mainly communicate with relatives and friends. I don’t like it when people show increased attention to me.

Everyone calls you Alena. And according to official documents, you are Elena...

“My father wanted to name me Alena, but during registration he was told that there was only Elena, and no Alena. It’s written in my passport that I’m Elena. But none of my relatives and friends ever called me Elena. That’s why I consider myself Alena.

The CSKA women's basketball club signed a contract with defender Elena Danilochkina, who was involved in the training of the Russian national team this summer, but was unable to qualify for the Olympic team. The head coach of CSKA, the famous basketball player Gundars Vetra in the recent past, told the sports information agency “Ves Sport” about other changes in the team.

“The composition of CSKA has changed significantly this summer,” noted Gundars Vetra. - We will have two new Americans playing - defender Katie Douglas and center Janelle McCarville. CSKA should be strengthened by Ukrainian forward Alexandra Gorbunova, who last season had good statistics in the Euroleague, playing for the Hungarian Sopron. In addition, we signed Lyudmila Sapova from Vologda-Chevakat, and the latest acquisition of our team was Elena Danilochkina, who previously played for BC Moscow. Sapova and Danilochkina are the closest reserves of the Russian national team, and I really count on them in the new season. They will definitely have a chance to prove themselves, and then everything depends on them. Spaniard Amaya Valdemoro and American Nicole Powell left the team. Forward Irina Sokolovskaya, who won the bronze medal at the 2008 Olympics, and center Maria Nikitina are no longer in CSKA.”

Gundars Vetra also outlined the problems that CSKA faced in preparing for the season. “A year ago, on the eve of the start of the Russian Championship, we won the World League, which brought together a very representative line-up of participants. Unfortunately, this off-season I was not able to test the team in serious tournaments. Such is the specificity of women's basketball that one part of the players is involved in the national teams of their countries in the summer, while the other plays in the WNBA. For example, our naturalized Russian Becky Hammon won bronze at the 2008 Olympics as a member of the Russian team, and now she has led San Antonio to the finals of the Western WNBA competition,” noted Gundars Vetra.
