 The bulk of Vvedensky's extant works survived in the archive of Daniil Kharms.The archive itself was saved by , close friend of both poets, who, in the middle of the most deadly winter of Leningrad blockade, came to the abandoned and sealed apartment of arrested Kharms, removed the papers and preserved them all along.Most of Vvedensky's poetry was not widely known during his lifetime and not published in Russia until much later.
