Anna Petrakova

Well...I'm one of the lucky ones on here who DID get to watch our favorite Russian play. Matter of fact, she's the reason I got a season pass to watch women's basketball.

All the best, Anna...the Cajun Russian!

Much like the Cajuns! :) WNBA is not completely out of the picture, but i have to gain experience in the european league first.

Kazan is a capital of Tatarstan. People there have very similar culture to russians, so i am sure it won't be much of a transition for me. It is not far from Moscow, so my family will be there to support me.

I depart July 12th, I am excited and anxious, and i can't wait to make this next step. However the thought of leaving my beloved Lafayette frightens me. One thing i know for sure: i am going to miss this place much and i AM coming back to visit!!

Thanks to all my friends for all your support, and watch out for my name! Special thanks to K. and Meridith Hall, Ms.Christy, DaddyCajun, Ed Dugas, Jay Walker, Daryl, Bruce Brown, Dan McDonald and all the rest of great people i've met on my journey!

GO CAJUNS!!!
Love y'all!
Anna

Anna, how is your career going as of late? Any new updates? Do you have any pics of you in a Cajun uni? Are there any young "potential" Ragin Cajuns you want to help recruit this way back to the Cajun Nation(a place you WILL always belong)! You would love our new coach Brodhead, we miss you on RaginPagin also!

I know this question was directed towards Anna, but according to her Twitter profile, she's currently with UMMC Ekaterinburg (Russian Premier League..if I'm not mistaken)

People are friendly, and all effort is appreciated. People care. And there's always a party going on :) So even though i was busy with school and basketball, i didn't miss out on college life. Thanks Lafayette

Love,
Anna..
