Nadezhda Terentyevna Volkova (Russian: Наде́жда Тере́нтьевна Во́лкова; 20 June 1920 – 26 November 1942) was a courier in an underground Komsomol cell during the Second World War.

[2][3] Volkova left her job at the hospital in March to attend training at the Central School of Partisan Organizers in Moscow.

After graduating from the school in the fall she was assigned to the Volchansk Forest Partisan Detachment, based in the Kharkov Oblast of Ukraine.

A Gestapo unit was headquartered in the district, resulting in a large police presence that made carrying out operations very difficult for the partisans.

When she was running low in ammunition she turned the gun on herself to avoid capture; Shcherbak also died in that battle and they were both buried in Vovchansk.
