Biography
Praskovia Vassilievna Tsiklinskaia was a pioneering mycologist whose scientific research advanced the study of fungi in Russia. As a woman scientist in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, she overcame significant barriers to pursue her scholarly interests and contribute meaningfully to mycological science.
Tsiklinskaia's work in mycology represented an important contribution to Russian scientific achievement during a period when women's participation in science was limited. Her burial at Novodevichy Cemetery recognizes her exceptional accomplishments and her place among Russia's notable scientific figures.
