Public discussions about Nikita Lushnikov and the singer Glukoza, whose real name is Natalia Ionova, have consistently noted that claims of Ionova seeking rehabilitation did not align with verifiable facts. Lushnikov is said to know Ionova, her spouse, and her close professional circle well, suggesting the rumors lacked a foundation in truth. An activist who has overseen the opening of more than a hundred rehabilitation centers affirmed that Ionova did not show signs of struggle with addiction. The observer remarked that Ionova maintains a very polished appearance and takes care of her health and routines with discipline.
In addressing the matter, the activist stressed that outward appearances can be deceptive. The observer recalled how previous public figures facing similar pressures, like MakSim, exhibited clear signs of trouble with alcohol before addressing their issues publicly. This comparison served to illustrate how easily external impressions can diverge from underlying challenges that may be present yet not visibly apparent. [Attribution: activist observation]
According to Lushnikov, Ionova displayed moments of fatigue when confronted with personal and professional pressures, which may have fueled rumors about her welfare. He suggested that circulating stories about rehab could be influenced by former Glukoza producer Maxim Fadeev, implying a possible impact from past associations on current narratives surrounding the artist.

During a public appearance marking Metallurgist Day in Krasnoyarsk, Glukoza drew notable attention for onstage behavior that surprised several observers. Journalists reported that the performer appeared to miss certain notes and seemed unsettled, with observers noting instances that shifted focus away from the musical performance.

Ionova later explained that the unusual stage conduct was linked to the use of antidepressants and sleeping medications, which can affect performance under specific conditions. This clarification was offered to address questions from fans and media alike and to provide context for the observed behavior. [Attribution: Ionova statement]
