Natalia Egorova, former wife of Kyiv mayor Vitali Klitschko, model and singer, visited the Ivano-Frankivsk region — the area where she was born and raised. According to the Wave RBC.UA publication, citing the artist's Instagram, the trip was especially long-awaited for the celebrity: she had last been in the places of her childhood back in 2013, that is, 13 years ago. The return to her homeland gave Egorova the opportunity not only to see her loved ones but also to briefly immerse herself in childhood memories.
A Childhood Adventure in the Forest
One of the bright encounters during the trip was a conversation with a longtime friend. The women recalled a funny but rather risky incident from their childhood: at one point they had gone into the forest together to find a bear. However, according to Egorova, the encounter with the animal was not at all what they had imagined. 'We were just recalling how we once went into the forest to look for a bear. But the bear found us first. And we ran off, saving our own lives! At the time it seemed like the funniest adventure. Looking back now, perhaps it wasn't the most dangerous one,' the singer wrote on social media, adding that childhood memories are 'perhaps the most beautiful and carefree.'
Visit to Her 97-Year-Old Grandmother and the 'Secret of Longevity'
During the trip, Natalia also visited her grandmother, who is already 97 years old. Egorova warmly spoke about her relative's well-being and confessed that she was impressed by her activity. According to the artist, at 97 the grandmother retains a clear mind, has good eyesight, and can still embroider without glasses. This is exactly what Natalia jokingly called one of the possible secrets of longevity: 'I think I've discovered the secret of longevity. My grandmother is 97 years old. She has a clear mind and can still embroider without glasses. Friends, forget about anti-aging secrets. We all urgently need to start embroidering!'
Context and Significance of the Trip
The return to Ivano-Frankivsk land after such a long break gave the model and singer a reason to combine two themes — family and nostalgic. On the one hand, it was a personal visit to the older generation of the family; on the other, it was a vivid slice of childhood that the artist publicly shared with her followers. Overall, the material is of a lifestyle nature and is based on Egorova's own Instagram posts, which is characteristic of the Wave column dedicated to lifestyle, travel, and the personal stories of public figures.
