Vladimir Glotser 'Marina Durnovo: My husband Daniil Kharms'.

As early as in beginning of 80-s, to Leningrad, to the flat on Mayakovskogo street (former Nadezhdinskaya), which was next door to the one where Daniil Kharms had been living before being arrested in 1941, came letters from the South America where Kharm's wife Marina Malich was brought by her destiny to.

She wrote from Venezuela to her cousin Marina Rzhevuskaia which was married to art historian Vsevolod Nicolaevich Petrov who met Kharms since before war.

But in 1983, caused of M. N.

Rzhevuskaia death, this correspondence ended off.

Rzhevuskaia and Petrov's daughter, named Marina too, as well as Kharms' sister Elizaveta Ivanovna Toblievich, nee Iuvacheva, who I used to see coming to Leningrad occasionally, were sure that Marina Vladimirovna Malich more than likely wasn't alive.

'Otherwise she would have been writing to us for sure'.
