Yulia Moiseevna Neiman (; 22 July 1907 – 1994), also known by the pen name Yu. Novikova , was a Russian Jewish poet, essayist, and translator.

Biography Neiman's ancestors came from the Netherlands before settling in the Baltic area during the early nineteenth century. Her grandfather Solomon Neiman worked in the medical profession and all of his five sons, including Neiman's father became physicians. Her first volume of poetry, Bonfire on the Snow, was printed in 1974, and her second collection, Thoughts on the Way, was released two years later. She published her final collection of verse, Fancies of Memory, in 1990. Her works explored different themes including the war as was the case in her poem 1941, where she recollected her view of the conflict as a child.

Legacy A street in Elista, Kalmykia is named in Neiman's honour.
