Lyubov Chernaya

Lyubov Panteleevna Chernaya (Russian: Любовь Пантелеевна Черная) (November 6, 1935 – legal death September 5, 2008) was the mother of the KrioRus co-founder Valeriya Udalova. The sixth patient of KrioRus, she was cryopreserved in September 2008.

Chernaya graduated from a medical university in Krasnodar, and worked as a general practitioner all her life. She held positions from an ordinary therapist to the head of a hospital.

Chernaya signed up for cryopreservation arrangements on March 8, 2008, after a year and a half of reluctancy. In the summer of the same year, after perforation of the intestine with a fish bone and an incorrect diagnosis, she developed peritonitis. Udalova's daughter transported her to the hospital for treatment from Kirovograd to Moscow where she legally died.
