Olga Borisovna Lepeshinskaya (Russian: Ольга Борисовна Лепешинская) born as Protopopova (Russian: Протопопова) (August 18, 1871 – October 2, 1963), was a Soviet pseudo-scientist, who advanced her career as a biologist in the USSR Academy of Medical Sciences through fraudulent discoveries and personal ties with Vladimir Lenin, Joseph Stalin, Trofim Lysenko and Alexander Oparin. She rejected genetics and was an advocate of spontaneous generation of life from inanimate matter.
