Vitalia Viktorovna Reshetnyak (1925–2015) was a Soviet protozoologist and marine biologist, specialising in Radiolaria, Phaeodorea and Acantharea.
Reshetnyak was born on May 10, 1925 in the province of Voronezh. In 1948 she graduated from the Leningrad State University Her supervisor was Valentin Aleksandrovich Dogel. She worked at the Zoological Institute of the USSR Academy of Sciences from 1949 until she was made redundant on 1 April 1982. In 1956 she defended her thesis "Deep-sea Radiolaria of the Phaeodaria of the northwestern part of the Pacific Ocean". For the first time she described the vertical distribution of deep-sea Radiolaria and Phaeodorea in the Kuril-Kamchatka trough. She made a significant contribution to the study of the morphology and systematics of Phaeodorea. Together with A.A. Strelkov she summarized the data on colonial Radiolaria. She wrote a monograph on the Acantharea of the world's oceans[1], considering them an independent type. Reshetnyak described more than 20 new species for science, and established a new family of Phaeodorea, Polypyramidae Reschetnjak, 1966. She was the author and co-author of more than 50 scientific papers, including two monographs.
Reshetnyak died in St Petersburg in 2015.
