Vera Obolenskaya
1911–1944 (age 33)
Biography
Vera Obolenskaya served quietly but indispensably as a secretary for the Russian émigré community, tending to correspondence, archives and the practical needs that kept cultural life going through war and displacement.
Her steadiness helped preserve connections between generations of exiles, and her memory endures at Sainte-Geneviève-des-Bois Russian Cemetery.
