The 22-year-old office worker had grappled with her attacker when he snatched her handbag as she walked to her parents' home in the Russian capital Moscow.
But she was so shocked by the ordeal she didn't know that the thug had buried a kitchen knife in her neck just fractions of an inch from her spinal cord.
Her horrified parents rushed her to hospital where surgeons managed to remove the blade without damaging Julia's spine.
"Shock had kicked in and her body prevented her from feeling any pain. She simply walked home without feeling the knife in her back," said one medic.

"I thought she was wearing a halter dress with a large fastening at the back"
"A good stiff drink works it's magic once again maybe?"
"I think she must be a truly brave woman. I wish I could handle the little mishaps in my life with the strength she showed that day."
"I think she was in severe shock. It can numb you out.
The brain just says it's too much to handle and turns off the switch.
It's pretty amazing."
