Named in memory of Nadezhda Vasil’evna Plevitskaya (1884–1940), a splendid Russian singer who sparkled on the stages of Russia, Europe and America. Many great connoisseurs of Russian art called her “Russian skylark” and “nightingale”. Leonid Sobi-nov {see planet  (4449)} sang with her, and Sergej Rakhmaninov {see planet  (4345)} accompanied for her. (M 26762) _ _.
