Abstract

In this article the occurrence and roles of vehicles, means of transport, are discussed. Usually, the vehicles (tram, car, plane, boat) that Kharms uses in his poetry are connected with obstacles, disappearance, death. However, every type of transport retains its own characteristics. In Kharms's tales for children the roles and connotations are generally less negative.
