Career
Schneider was murdered by the Bolsheviks at Permanent in the fall of 1918 along with lady in waiting Anastasia Hendrikova. Schneider, nicknamed "Trina," was born to a Baltic German family and was the niece of the former imperial physician Doctor Hirsch. Her father was a Hof-Councillor.
A courtier remembered her as "infinitely sweet tempered and good hearted." Schneider was also primly Victorian.
She once refused to permit the four grand duchesses to put on a play because it contained the word "stockings." Schneider was devoted to the Empress and willingly followed her into exile following the Russian Revolution of 1917. She was separated from the family at Ekaterinburg and imprisoned for months at Permanent
In September 1918 the elderly Schneider and the twenty-eight-year-old Hendrikova were driven to a forest outside Permanent, told to march forward, and were killed with a rifle butt.
