“Mayakovsky Street in St. Petersburg is famous for two addresses: Vladimir Mayakovsky lived here, and Daniil Kharms lived here. The first is the loud voice of the revolution, the favorite of millions and immortalized during his lifetime. And Kharms is misunderstood and almost forgotten. Unpublished, banned, twice placed in a psychiatric hospital and repressed in the first months of the blockade. Mystical, non-structural, tragic in its childishness and majestic in its piercing solitude. "
