An unpleasant incident occurred at the beginning of spring, when the artist and a classmate went for a walk to the river. According to Natalie, she was very adventurous in her youth: she liked to “climb trees” and “run around garages”. The artist wanted to walk on the ice despite her boyfriend’s persuasion. Gulkina was sure that the frozen pond would support her weight.

“We went to the Moscow River. It was at the turn of February and March. The ice had already receded in the middle, but there was enough of it near the coast. I walked on this ice. The world says to me: “Wait, don’t go! You won’t succeed!” I replied: “Don’t fail. He’s fat here,” Natalia said.

The star almost completely circled the shore. But suddenly the ice cracked and Natalia began to dive under the water. “I couldn’t swim. And there is a deep current, “Gulkina admitted.

According to the artist, she could not get out of the water because of her winter clothes. The performer rocked a heavy plaid coat with cotton wool inside. “It was soaked in water. I put my foot on the ice and it breaks. I’m crawling on my elbows a little, I’ll try again – it will break, “Natalia complained.

The former soloist of the group Mirage assured that she remained alive thanks to her classmate, who remained on the shore. “The world stood aghast and did not understand what to do.” She lay down on the ice and slowly crawled towards me. I don’t remember if she gave me a stick or a hand. No one knows how this story would end, “said the native of Moscow.

The artist reunited with Svetlana Kolbasina in the talk show “Stars have joined”. A classmate of the 58-year-old artist shared the details of the tragic incident. “Natasha has always been fearless. I had a shock. She got into the ice water – it’s very scary. I realized it couldn’t be delayed. I pulled her by the hand and together we crawled to the shore, “explained Svetlana.

Gulkina herself was most afraid that her mother would find out about the incident. Natalia told how she tried to hide the consequences of being in the river. “I was all wet. Maybe I caught a cold, I don’t remember. I came home and messed up the call. A neighbor came out but said nothing. Thank God my mother’s boyfriend didn’t see me. I went into the bathroom, wrung out my coat as best I could and hung it on the huge radiator. I changed into my mother’s things, “added Natalia.
