Nikolay Morozov is an evil wizard/voodooist:
I've found a translation of one Japanese article and it's, ehm, interesting.
So here's the sourse:

According to the article, during Vancouver Olys, Morozov who coaches Miki Ando, appreared alongside the rink while Yuna was practicing, and had said something aloud. The article reported that 'Morozov was cursing Yuna to make mistakes'.
The article went on stating that 'Morozov is a well known chanter in the figure skating world', thus he is always whispering words during Miki's performances to send energy for her to get good results.
The article also noted that Tarasova who will be finished coaching Mao within the season, does the same as Morozov in cursing their skaters' rivals, and 'They do so by cursing other skaters' hair or things they like'. They claim that's why Orser told Yuna 'Never let your belongings out of sight'."
Here's a video of Nikolay of casting spells:

So do you still ridicule Plushy for believing in Zagainov's voodoo powers? ;)
Also I can't get the image of Tarasova chanting over a huge bowling pot and throwing some hair in that out of my head.
