Is this anna the same anna that is playing in the tournament or is this a different one?

True.

Does someone knows the opening Kateryna Lagno is Playing?

Haha! :))

didn't knew about this.

So ... just 17 women over 2500 elo? How many GM women are there? around 20?

In September 2012 FIDE lists 1380 living Grandmasters.^[1] Of these, 1353 are male and 27 are female.

I guess Ushenina got the title later, so now 28.

There are 29 female GMs in the world.

:) You overlooked one pdela?

Natalia Pogonina is correct...

female GM's

Btw, I always thought her name was Lahno. Now I've seen it spelled both ways (Lahno/Lagno) recently. Which way is more correct, and why is there a second way to spell her name? Is one German, like Yusupov/Jussupow?

The cyrillic G is the same letter as the cyrillic H.

I've seen Garry Kasparov spelled as Harry Kasparov... which looks a bit odd to a chess-player.

I like her name,

There's no "h' sound in Cyrillic. So if it were phonetic, her name would be Lagno. But I don't know why Lahno is popular then.

You mean they can't write "Hitler" (Гитлер) or Hotel (Готель) in Cyrillic?

Nowadays, the H sound is sometimes represented as Х instead of Г... but there doesn't seem to be much standardization.

EDIT: Ah, yes... I see her name is indeed spelled Катерина Олександрівна Лагно. With a 'г'.

why did my comments get deleted. no sense at all...
