eeeh... If you look up the names of the Russian champions at this age category, they're pretty much all present here in Hungary... :??

EDIT: Okay, upon a closer look, six of their #1's are here...

To be honest I much prefer the Russian reserve list,which is as follows
46 Denis Chymin Finalist 2010 ESCB (European schoolboy champs)
48 Cyril Kusnetzov Winner ESCB 2010
50 Dzhailabreil Virirhanov 2011 National runner-up
52 Shamil Checherov 2010 & 2011 National champion
54 Artem Melkonyan 2009 ESCB & 2010 National champion
57 Ilyas Isaev 2011 National runner-up
60 Shamil Malsagov 2009 ESCB
63 Tamerlane Magomedov 2011 National Champion
66 Alexander Agafonov 2011 National Champion
70 Lendrus Hakobyan 2010 & 2011 National champion
75 Georgi Popov 2010 ESCB champion
80 Ruslan Yurchenko 2011 National champion
+80 Khozi-Akbar Mamanov 2010ESCB 2011 National champion

Melkonyan,Popov and Malsagov lost in the 2011 Nationals but are highly rated.
