In the 1930s, Gulya married a nephew of the "people's enemy" Aleksei Pyatakov, and gave birth to a son. In 1940, she enrolled in the Hydromelioration Institute. In 1941, she enlisted in the Red Army following Operation Barbarossa and was killed during the Battle of Stalingrad.

In the 1960s, she was made one of the official Soviet martyrs for the Fatherland. Several objects were named in her honor. She was also the central hero of Elena Ilyina's novel "The Fourth Height". As part of the de-Sovietization campaign in Ukraine, streets named in her honor were renamed in the 2020s, on the formal grounds that her activity was not related to Ukraine.{{cite web |author=|title=Недавно переименованную улицу в Днепре предлагают… снова переименовать|url=https://gorod.dp.ua/news/211085|website=gorod.dp.ua |date=2022-10-27|access-date=18 October 2023|language=ru}} In September 2022 a street that was named after Korolyova in Dnipro was renamed to honor American coloratura soprano of Ukrainian ethnicity Kvitka Cisyk.{{cite web |author=|title=In the center of Dnipro, the street of Stepan Bandera appeared the mayor|url=https://www.pravda.com.ua/news/2022/09/21/7368431/|website=Ukrayinska Pravda |date=21 September 2022|access-date=18 October 2022|language=Ukrainian}}
