Olga Skobeleva

Olga Nikolayeva Skobeleva (née Poltavtseva; Russian: О́льга Никола́евна Ско́белева, урождённая Полта́вцева; 11 (23) March 1823 — 6 (18) July 1880)[1] was a Russian philanthropist and hospital organizer. Olga and her family were strongly tied to the Imperial Russian Army; her husband was Russian general Dmitry Ivanovich Skobelev, while Olga was the mother of Russian general Mikhail Dmitrievich Skobelev and the head of the Bulgarian Red Cross.[2] She was killed in Plovdiv, Bulgaria, when her carriage was ambushed by bandits in 1880.[3][1] A monument was later built on the site of her murder.[1]
