Vadim, eldest son of Leonid Andreyev and father of Olga Andreyeva Carlise, lived in Geneva during the 1960s and worked in the UN Secretariat, although he never gave up his Soviet passport. His unique situation allowed him to publish his poetry in the literary journal Zvezda and to write a memoir, Detsvo, published to very large acclaim in the USSR. Both he and Olga knew and supported Weisberg and the present lot hung in their Geneva apartment on rue Schaub and was given to their daughter Olga Andreyeva Carlisle.
