She then studied in the Department of History and Language of the St. Petersburg Women's Pedagogy Institute, graduating in 1912. She then taught at the Konstantin Girls' High School, gave private lessons and attended courses in history and archeology in the Department of History of the Bestuschewskije as a guest student kursy for women. She studied there until 1914 with Iwan Michailowitsch Greaves and Tadeusz Stefan Zieliński , who not only gave lectures , but also traveled with their students to the Crimea , Bukhara and other historically significant places. She took part in trips by the Bestuschewski students to Italy (1912) and Greece (1914). From 1913 Trewer was already working in the Imperial Archaeological Commission and examined and described the antiquities in Olbia . In 1914 she passed the state examination for the course of the Faculty of History and Philology at the University of St. Petersburg as an external student . In the same year she organized with six fellow students of the Bestuschewskije kursy, including the future director Stefanida Dmitrijewna Rudnewa , the dance group Heptachor , which performed in Russian cities and in 1927 received the status of a state studio with self-financing.

When the Russian Academy for History and Material Culture was created from the Imperial Archaeological Commission in 1919 after the October Revolution , Trewer was an assistant there. In the same year she started working at the Hermitage and was custodian of the Stroganov Palace , which was a branch of the Hermitage, until 1926 .

In 1922 Trewer began to occupy himself with the history and art of the Orient and heard lectures by Wassili Wladimirowitsch Bartold , Joseph Orbeli , Sergei Fjodorowitsch Oldenburg and Alexander Arnoldowitsch Freiman . In 1926 she became a lecturer at the Department of Iranian Studies at the University of Leningrad (LGU) and in 1928 assistant to Joseph Orbelis during the transformation of the Orient Department of the Hermitage into an important scientific center for oriental studies . Without defending a dissertation, she became a candidate in 1938 and received her doctorate in history in February 1939 . In 1939 she became a professor at the Faculty of Oriental Studies at the LGU.

During the Leningrad blockade in the German-Soviet war , Trewer was evacuated and worked in Tashkent first in the Institute for Languages, Literature and Art and then from 1941–1943 in the Uzbek branch of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR (AN-SSSR, since 1991 Russian Academy of Sciences (RAN)). In 1943 she was elected a corresponding member of the AN-SSSR. She then moved to the Institute for History of the Academy of Sciences of the Armenian Soviet Socialist Republic in Yerevan (1943–1945). After the war ended, she returned to Leningrad to the Russian Academy of History and Material Culture, which had meanwhile become the Leningrad Department of the Institute of History and Material Culture of the AN SSSR.

Trewer's main research interests were the history and art of the Caucasus , Central Asia and Iran . She studied the interaction of the Hellenistic and Oriental cultures. She found that after the conquest of Bactia by Alexander the Great , an independent culture had developed there that combined local and Greek elements.

Trewer's older sister Ilsa Wassiljewna (1891–1955) was an art historian and poet , and her younger sister Nina Wassiljewna (1898 – after 1942) was also an art historian.
