Masha Enzensberger

[2] In 1967 she married the poet Hans Magnus Enzensberger, with whom she travelled in Germany, the US and Cuba, before settling in London, her marriage having ended.

[4] In London and Cambridge in the 1970s, she became known for her illumination of works of avant-garde Russian culture, including film (Dziga Vertov) and poetry (Osip Brik), especially through her commentaries and translations for the periodical Screen.

[8][9] During the 1980s, where the political climate in UK and Russia became less supportive, Enzensberger continued to live in London, but had difficulty obtaining regular employment.

It is thought that Masha was planning to return to Russia permanently in the aftermath of the fall of the Soviet Union in 1989–90.

[1] Feinstein reports that "...I saw her last in a Moscow of brown streets, puddles and people still shaking with euphoria after defeating the military coup in 1991.
