Yulia Mikhalkova spoke about a unique gift “from Napoleon”

“I froze from the overwhelming feeling of romance”

For almost fifteen years of active touring life, ex-participant of the “Ural Dumplings”, actress and film producer Yulia Mikhalkova has received all sorts of gifts from the audience. And recently she came up with an unexpected statistic: on tour, in ninety percent of cases, she is given two things – flowers and alcohol. And if everything is clear with flowers, like any girl, Yulia loves them very much, then gift alcohol has always been a mystery for her. Moreover, it is very difficult to see in the actress a person who has a passion for strong drinks: Yulia adheres to a healthy lifestyle. At the same time, she admits that the palette of alcohol given to her is wide. Throughout her touring history, she was presented with ancient cognacs, exquisite moonshine, the sweetest liqueurs and liqueurs, and once was solemnly presented with a whole pack of beer.

“Oh, it was especially wonderful, I just froze from the overwhelming feeling of romance,” laughs Yulia Mikhalkova.

One day she was given a very rare gift – a bottle of very old wine, which, as the donor said, was raised from the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea. The bottle was 200 years old. They say that almost Napoleon himself dropped it into the sea.

“The tradition was not broken during the last tour. In Petrozavodsk they presented us with Karelian liqueurs. I haven’t tried it, but the aroma is interesting! And in Tikhvin they decided to simply blow me away and handed me a moonshine still. They say, hold on, mother, there is no such thing in Moscow, you’ll catch up with yourself. And now I hold this device in my hands, look at myself in the mirror and can’t understand anything: “Why, oh why do they give me alcohol all the time, and now also a moonshine still? Where is this desire written on my face? Mystery!” But seriously, I appreciate any attention from fans. Because they even give me alcohol from the heart and from the bottom of their hearts. I feel it and am immensely grateful! But the main thing to remember is that excessive alcohol consumption is harmful to health. It’s better to just collect it, like I do,” Mikhalkova told MK.
