Our teacher spoke about a guy called Daniil Harms in school, but which one is correct name, Daniil Kharms or Daniil Harms? I found both names from Google, Kharms was slightly more popular. -- Panu 06:50, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)

- It's just a matter of transliteration from Russian. Cyrillic "Х" (as in Хармс) is usually transliterated as "kh." Same is with Khrushchev (spelled Хрущёв in Russian) and Chekhov (Чехов), etc. As it's a common practice to use "kh" instead of "h," we could say it's more "correct." --Dejan Cabrilo 07:29, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Okay, so redirect from Daniil Harms to this article is fine. -- Panu 07:40, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I redirected here "Danil Kharms" with the following text:
Danil Kharms (1905 - 1942) was a Russian author. Kharms was a part of the Leningrad avantgarde. He is now considered to be among the most prominent representatives of Russian Absurdism. He died in prison in 1942.

[edit] Transliteration
True, according to the common transliteration rules, his last name should be Kharms, yet it's known that he composed that word from a foreign language. In my opinion, Harms would be more accurate, emphasizing therefore the (pseudo-)foreign origin of the name. Klaus Bertow 22:39, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Multiple Names
Kharms actually had a weird obsession with using the same name more than once. He published under a number of variations: Kharms, Harms, Charms, Charms-Dandy and a long list of others. Polycarp-kusch 04:25, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Monument
I deleted the part about Charms' monument in St. Peterburg. I found a picture of it here and as far as I can tell, it does not resemble a vulva at all. mz (talk) 13:33, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
