[Elena Gapova]

Well, there are two people and one zeppelin that go under this name:
http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%93%D0%B8%D0%BD%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%B1%D1%83%D1%80%D0%B3

The first man (see his photo at:
http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%93%D0%B8%D0%BD%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%B1%D1%83%D1%80%D0%B3,_%D0%9F%D0%B0%D1%83%D0%BB%D1%8C_%D1%84%D0%BE%D0%BD
)
might "match" the description.  I do not know, though, how well known he
was at the time.
