“Valera brought a contract and informed me that if I didn’t sign it by September 1st, he wouldn’t skate with me. The contract was about me making full provision for him.” Vasilisa Kaganovskaia commented on a split up with her partner Valeriy Angelopol

Dear friends, you may have already seen the news – our pair no longer exists. It’s true, it’s not fake. And I want to tell you the truth. I have never brought disputes out into the open, but now I won’t stay silent.
It all started on July 4th: Valera told me that he didn’t want to skate with me anymore. I know the reason perfectly well, he had told it to his friend and my mother. And it had nothing to do with figure skating. It was, frankly speaking, personal. I won’t go into details, as I consider it inappropriate. But the next day, he changed his mind and started saying that he didn’t want to skate because he wasn’t satisfied with how I trained. He claimed I was mistreating him, working poorly, treating him horribly, and so on. Anjelika Alekseyevna (Krylova -ed.) and I did everything to save the pair, and for a while, it worked. We discussed everything and prepared for the test skates during that time. But three days ago, Valera brought a contract to practice and informed me that if I didn’t sign it by September 1st, he wouldn’t skate with me. The contract was about me making full provision for him.
You can see the content for yourselves, I’ve attached a photo. We tried to talk, Anjelika Alekseyevna suggested various other solutions, but Valera said it was his condition, and only under those conditions, he would, against his own will, skate with me. Neither I, nor my family, nor my coach, no one was willing to work under such conditions.
That’s why we’re not skating together anymore. And it’s not a mutual decision, but Valera’s decision alone.
But I am grateful for these 5 years. There were many good moments and victories. I’ve learned a lot during these years. And I’m moving forward. I love what I do and am filled with motivation to continue skating, but with a different partner.
Thank you to all the fans for your support.

Velka škoda,že sa tento par rozdelil začala som ich sledovat a ich korčulovanie je fantasticke ich vzajomna suhra je ako telo a duša v jednom
Valeriy has a GF…he can’t leave or broke with his GF while he was with Vasilisa. Though Vasilisa had a feelings towards Valeriy. Maybe it’s time to freed and let go each other. Wish them both that they have a successful career
They made such a stunning Skating couple. I was absolutely captivated by them. All the moves that they did were so expertly executed that I watched him for hours. I don’t have an opinion on what happened and I don’t think either should as well without knowing them. They were just too young to have formed a romantic relationship.
No matter what it’s really sad I really love seeing them skate together they took my breath away with their athletic skills their passion for each other it was just so beautiful, they say good things always come to an end and it did.
Oh my gosh, that is so sad. But I saw numerous times that he cared for her, hugging and kissing her every chance he gets. Maybe he’s hurt that she broke up with him? That’s what I think. But they moved so smoothly and so beautifully together. I hope they get back together again in the future. *sigh*
The first time I saw these two together, my first take on him was that he seemed like a person that is not trusting and controlling.
My opinion.

This guy has no respect for others, neither for himself. Feel sorry for the ‘next’ girl..
This is disappointing to hear. I started watching them and thought they are absolutely amazing together. I figured they understood each other, wanting to be going somewhere together. I’m honestly disappointed about having a contract like that. Must have been something else had to play in the decision. :(, :(
