Vladimir Zlobin

Vladimir Ananievich Zlobin (Владимир Ананьевич Злобин, 1894 (Saint Petersburg)-1967 (Paris)) was a Russian symbolist poet and secretary for Zinaida Gippius.

[1] As a student, Zlobin was a member of a poets' group where he met Gippius.

[2] He emigrated from Russia in 1919 together with Gippius and her husband Dmitriy Sergeyevich Merezhkovsky, first to Poland[3] and then to France where all three lived in one flat.

[2] In the correspondence between Gippius and Zlobin, the two played with gender ambiguity in the Russian language.

He then worked on different projects for Gippius and helped to organise, in his Paris flat, "Sundays"[vague] for Russian poets and writers.
