Mariya Yevchenkova was a female human reporter in Kiev in the mid 21st century. In 2045, her niece, Tatya Bilash, alerted her to the arrival of two extraterrestrials at the Agro III station in the Pacific Ocean. Yevchenkova's office had been bugged by a terrorist named Aghan of the Alliance for the Twelfth of November, and thus this information was widely leaked. (TOS novel: Strangers from the Sky)
