I've been watching old competitions (while reading during boring programs, I admit) and during 1988 OSP a pairs spin reminded me of the Natasha spin, even though it's a bit different:
Benning & Johnston (CAN) - 1988 Calgary, Figure Skating, Pairs Short Program (US ABC)

What is the history of the Natasha spin? Is it one of those spins that different competitors did in different variations and Miskutenok/Dmitriev perfected? Is it like the Bielmann spin, when it was begin done for decades before Bielmann perfected it and did it the best, resulting in the spin being named after her?
Benning & Johnston (CAN) - 1988 Calgary, Figure Skating, Pairs Short Program (US ABC)

Calgary, Alberta, CANADA - 1988 Winter Games, Pairs' Short Program - Denise Benning and Lyndon Johnston of Canada placed 5th here.
