Véra Obolensky (Russian: Вера Аполлоновна Оболенская; 11 June 1911 – 4 August 1944) was a French Resistance member during World War II (1939–45).

After leaving school, Véra Makarova worked as a model for Russian fashion houses, then as secretary to Jacques Arthuys, an industrialist.

[3] In the period just before World War II (1939–45), the Obolenskys lived well as wealthy members of the exiled Russian aristocracy.

[2] Jacques Arthuys, founder of the OCM resistance organization which he ran from his home on Avenue Victor Hugo, was helped by Vera Obolensky as his secretary.

[4] In December 1940, Arthuys combined his group with that of Maxime Blocq-Mascart, which was involved in gathering intelligence and helping prisoners of war escape.

[2] Obolensky arranged to collect information let slip by German officers who used cocaine and spent their evenings with Spanish dancers.

I will not betray either my homeland or the country that has sheltered me.” Her companion, Sofia Nosovitch, was tortured by immersion in ice water, asked for mercy, was given it, and survived the war in a labour camp.

[3] Her body was delivered to the laboratory of Dr. Hermann Stieve, Chief of the Institute of Anatomy at the University of Berlin, who was studying the effect of stress and environmental factors on the reproductive system of women.

[2] There is a stele that honours Véra Obolensky in the Sainte-Geneviève-des-Bois Russian Cemetery, and a plaque in her memory in Rueil-la-Gadelière where she lived with her husband.

In 1958 Véra Obolensky was posthumously awarded the Knight's Cross of the Legion of Honour and the Croix de Guerre during an official ceremony.
