This one is from his OGPU file from 1931 (his first arrest): https://bessmertnybarak.ru/filesSt/4698_Kharms_Daniil_Ivanovich/4698_1486036918.jpg . And this is from the NKVD file covering his second arrest, in 1941: http://d-harms.ru/images/foto/22.jpg . This was in Leningrad during the German siege, when hundreds of thousands starved to death. And he was in what was probably the worst place to be in Leningrad: the psychiatric division of the infamous Kresty prison. "...how many/Innocent lives end there." (Anna Akhmatova, Rekviem 4). |
