Anna Abrikosova was a Russian linguist and religious sister of the Dominican Order who lived from 1882 to 1936. Born into a wealthy noble family in Moscow, she later became a key figure in the formation of the Russian Greek Catholic Church. After converting to Catholicism, she founded a community of sisters who provided clandestine education and translated religious texts during the Soviet era. She spent over ten years in solitary confinement within concentration camps due to her faith, eventually dying from spinal cancer.
