Olga Alexeyevna Novikova (née Kireeva, circa 1842, April 21, 1925) was a Russian writer, journalist, and patriot. After her divorce in 1868, she moved to London. Among her notable works are: "The M.P. for Russia," "Is Russia wrong" (1878), "Friends or foes" (1879), and "Russia and England, a protest and an appeal" (1880). Olga was friends with Gladstone and actively promoted Russian values among British politicians and the public during the period of the "Great Game."
Her grandson, actor Richard Marner (real name Alexander Molchanov), continued the family legacy. Olga was buried in the catacombs near the chapel at Kensal Green Cemetery.
