Zinaida Jurjewskaja

Zinaida Jurjewskaja (10 June 1892 – 3 December 1925; Lenkin, married name Zinaida von Bremer) was an Estonian-born German operatic soprano singer. Alternative spellings of her surname found in sources include Jurjevskaja, Jurievskaia Yurievskaja and Yuryevskaja. She adopted this as her stage name as a tribute to her birthplace. She made several recordings for Homocord, Parlophone and Deutsche Grammophon. Her disappearance and death were reported internationally.

Her husband commissioned a bas-relief plaque commemorating Jurjewskaja, with the words "Remember me", which was placed on their home at 41 Puiestee street, Tartu, in 1926, and unveiled by the mayor. The house was destroyed by fire in 1944. He also had a statue of her, dressed in her costume for the role of Marfana in Rimsky-Kirsakoff's The Tsar's Bride, erected in Andermatt, and wrote a memorial book Zinaida Jurjevskaja kuulsus ja Kolgata (Zinaida Jurjevskaja's Fame and Calvary)
