Here is what I consider a fantastic video of top-level Russian dancers dancing seemingly syllabus figures only to very slow foxtrot music: . This video which is 21 minutes long has been broken into separate videos for each couple, which I will reference below. Please help me put figure names of some of the figures I'm not familiar with as follows. I list the last name of the male dancer followed by a link to the video for a couple, followed by times of the figures I need help on. Thanks in advance.

Varfolomeev

These are not strictly syllabus figures, at least not in the sense of the ISTD examinations. Neither do I think these are good, clear examples of how to execute syllabus work (or even a desirable way to dance in general). Nevertheless I had a cursory look at the first few videos, and here are some pointers:

Bredikhin
At 0:47 Heel Pull and Hover Feather (omitting the left sway)

Varfolomeev
0:22-27 Feather Finish, Top Spin, Top Spin
1:02-1:09 Open Natural Turn, Outside Spin, 1-3 Natural Turn
1:14 Quick Open Reverse, extended Weave ending

Vlasov
0:54 Continuous Hover Cross
1:02 Double Reverse Spin, Reverse Pivot
1:04 Reverse Heel Pull

Glukhov
0:33 Natural Fallaway (checked)
0:40-50 Curved Three Step, Reverse Pivot, Hover Cross action, Cross Swivel, Curved Feather, Open Impetus
0:55 Zig Zag (see quickstep syllabus, extra figures)
1:12 4-6 Natural Spin Turn (waltz/quickstep)
 
Here is my stab at it, just because "name that step" is a fun game...

Bredikhin
0:47 reverse wave, heel pull, hover feather.

Varfolomeev
0:22-27 two top spins
1:02-1:09 hovercross from promenade that turns into a mini outside spin to natural turn.
1:14 feather step to extended weave

Vlasov
0:54 continuous hovercross
1:02 overspin
1:04 reverse corte, three step

Glukhov
0:33 natural turn to back whisk
0:40-50 curving three step, back swivel, hovercross to forward swivel, synchopated curved feather, open impetus
0:55 zigzag to weave
1:12 natural spin turn taking an extra measure (cause the music isn't slow enough)

Del Gaone
0:42 heel pull to curved feather?
0:45-0:49 outside spin to hovercross to stumble
1:04 a right lunge shape?

Kruglov
0:22-0:23 double feather
0:27-0:28 two backward walks

Nikitin
0:45 back check, reverse pivot, back hover
0:58 top spin to reverse wave
1:03 heel pull to feather (like the last four steps of a natural telemark)
1:18 reverse pivot to hover corte
1:23 reverse corte
1:26 open reverse turn
1:31 4-6 of natural spin turn

Pugachev
0:34 reverse pivot, reverse turn
0:52 outside swivel (synchopated from back feather)
1:04 drag hesitation
1:06 heel pull to curved feather

Reshetnikov
1:22 continuous hovercross to extended weave

syllabus steps you might want to look at/review:
Top spin (you missed it couple times) - this is my favorite navigation step
Drag hesitation
Hovercross
Heel pull
