Moldavskaya Polina Volfovna (née Blech) (20 July 1950, Tulchyn, Vinnytsia Oblast, Ukraine) — nurse.

Polina Moldavskaya was born into the family of a shoemaker, Volf Srulyevich Blech (born 1900, Tulchyn), and a homemaker, Dvoira Leibovna Ladyzhenskaya (née Vainerman) (born 1909, Bratslav, Vinnytsia Oblast). She worked as an apprentice at the Tulchyn Shoe Factory (1967–1968). She graduated from the Vinnytsia Medical College named after Zabolotny (1968–1971). After moving to Riga, she worked as a nurse-educator in children’s institutions No. 218 and No. 171 (1971–1974), as a nurse at Riga City Polyclinic No. 9 (1974–1975), and as a laboratory assistant at Riga City Polyclinic No. 13 (1979).

In her marriage to Yuriy Vladimirovich Moldavsky (born 1941, Haisyn, Vinnytsia Oblast), a daughter was born: Stella Yuryevna Moldavskaya (born 1972, Tulchyn).

In 1979 Polina Moldavskaya received permission to emigrate to Israel, where since the 1920s her aunt (her mother’s cousin), Esther Ron (born 1908, Bratslav), had been living.
