Kharms and the Beach of Petropavlovka

ter. Peter and Paul Fortress, 6, Saint Petersburg, Russia, 197198

Kra kra krasi fasi perekosi. Object, object, object, object, object, object, object, object, object, object, object, object.

Kra kra beautiful fasci distortions. Object, object, object, object, object, object, object, object, object, object, object, object, object. (“Treatise on beautiful women lying on the beach near the Peter and Paul Fortress, sitting on Mars Field and in the Summer Garden, and going to the Lenkublyt dining hall,” 1933).

After parting with Ester Rusakova, Kharms began to often go to the beach at the Peter and Paul Fortress. In his diary, he even recorded the air temperature: if the weather was expected to be good, he could go to the beach. There he would lie down, sunbathe, and wait for someone to lie down next to him – that’s how he wanted to meet a woman. His notes include evaluative remarks about the ladies: this one is pretty, that one not so much. But he met his second wife, Marina Malich, not on the Peter and Paul beach, but through a mutual friend.
