Life

In 1930, her family moved to Moscow. In 1937, her father Ieronim Uborevich, a prominent Soviet military commander, was arrested and executed, together with Mikhail Tukhachevsky , Iona Yakir and August Kork. She was a friend of Mikhail Bulgakov's wife, Elena Sergeevna Bulgakova.[1] The family was exiled to Astrakhan, and after her mother Nina was arrested, Vladimira was moved to an orphanage in Sverdlovsk. She studied at the Moscow Architectural Institute. In 1944 Mira was arrested, convicted and sent to the Vorkutlag camp. She was rehabilitated, and graduated from Moscow State University of Civil Engineering. She worked at Zentromasch.[2] In 1960s at a request of Elena Bulgakova, she wrote a number of letters, remembering her childhood and later experiences.
