Around 1948 Vecherkovskaya married her coach, Kiril Putyrski, and for some time competed under his name as Galina Putyrskaya; they divorced around 1960. Before the 1955 European Championships, Vecherkovskaya and her partner Mikhailova were medal favorites in double sculls. However, two rowers of the Soviet coxed four became pregnant, and to save the team Vecherkovskaya and Mikhailova were merged into the coxed four that resulted in a gold medal.
