Nikolai Robertovich Erdman (Russian: Николай Робертович Эрдман, IPA:[nʲɪkɐˈlajˈrobʲɪrtəvʲɪtɕˈɛrdmən]ⓘ; 16 November [O.S. 3 November] 1900, Moscow – 10 August 1970) was a Soviet dramatist and screenwriter primarily remembered for his work with Vsevolod Meyerhold in the 1920s.[1] His plays, notably The Suicide (1928), form a link in Russian literary history between the satirical drama of Nikolai Gogol and the post-World War II Theatre of the Absurd.
