Ivan was the son of Prince of Moscow Daniil Aleksandrovich.

In 1208 – 1211, Ingvar sent his son to assist Daniil Romanovich in his struggle against the sons of Igor Sviatoslavich of Novhorod-Siverskyi.

Daniil Andreyev was the son of Leonid Andreyev, a prominent Russian writer of the start of the century ; Maxim Gorky was his godfather.

This act had two important consequences: it meant that when Leonid Andreev, like many other writers and intellectuals, left Russia after the 1917 Russian Revolution, his young son remained behind ; it also meant that Daniil was raised in a household that remained deeply religious.

One of the most important was the Oberiu movement that included Nikolay Zabolotsky, Alexander Vvedensky, Konstantin Vaginov and the most famous Russian absurdist Daniil Kharms.

In the 1970s George Gibbian at Cornell published the first English collection of OBERIU writing, which included stories and a play by Daniil Kharms and one play by Alexander Vvedensky.

New translations of all the members of the OBERIU group ( and their closely knit group of friends, the Chinari ) appeared in Summer, 2006 in the USA ( OBERIU: An Anthology of Russian Absurdism, containing poetry, drama and prose by Alexander Vvedensky, Daniil Kharms, Nikolai Zabolotsky, Nikolai Oleinikov, Leonid Lipavsky and Yakov Druskin, edited Eugene Ostashevsky and translated by Matvei Yankelevich, Thomas Epstein, Genya Turovskaya, Eugene Ostashevsky and Ilya Bernstein.

Founded in 1928 by Daniil Kharms and Alexander Vvedensky, OBERIU became notorious for provocative performances which included circus-like stunts, readings of what was perceived as nonsensical verse, and theatrical presentations, such as Kharms's Elizabeth Bam, that foreshadowed the European Theatre of the Absurd.

The core of the group included Daniil Kharms, Alexander Vvedensky, Nikolay Zabolotsky, Konstantin Vaginov, Igor Bakhterev, and others, including actors, musicians and filmmakers.

It is said to have been founded by a peasant, Daniil Filippovich, ( or Filippov ), of Kostroma.

In 1928, Daniil Kharms founded the avant-garde collective OBERIU, or Union of Real Art.
