bond, which accelerated after a trip to Vedeneyeva's summer cottage in Kashin in April, was destined to remain hidden from most of Vedeneyeva's family and friends. To keep up appearance of a mere friendship, they spent their summers apart. Cutting herself off from all activities other than her work, her love and her immediate family, Parnok's poetry became paramount and with help from Tsuberbiller and Vedeneyeva she stopped translation work. By winter 1932, her body had become swollen with edema, signalling that her Graves' disease had affected her heart. For the next six months, Parnok was mostly bedridden and Vedeneyeva visited daily. In an attempt to improve Parnok's health, Tsuberbiller suggested that they summer in and despite the arduous trip, they arrived safely. Vedeneyeva vacationed separately in the Crimea. While they were apart the lovers were plagued with poor mail service, which acerbated Parnok's stress. On 31 July 1933, she penned her last complete poem, as a farewell to Vedeneyeva. Death and legacy On 20 August 1933, Vedeneyeva returned to Moscow and that same day, she took the train to join Parnok and Tsuberbiller in Karinskoye. The arrival was not due to Parnok's illness, but a scheduled arrival per her pre-planned itinerary. On 25 August, Tsuberbiller realized that Parnok was dying and notified Erarskaya. Parnok succumbed to a heart attack at 11:30 a.m. on the morning of 26 August 1933 with Tsuberbiller and Vedeneyeva at her bedside. Though she tried to make the trip from Moscow before Parnok died, Erarskaya did not arrive until around 5 p.m. A portrait of Tsvetaeva was on her bedside table when she died. The village druggist assisted Tsuberbiller in obtaining the necessary paperwork to take the body back to Moscow, after the funeral service in Karinskoye. Her funeral procession on 28 August with her friends and fans extended 75 kilometers outside of Moscow. They did not reach the city until the following day. She was buried in Vvedenskoye Cemetery in Olga Tsuberbiller's family plot. After Parnok's death, her works were not available, nor was there any development of Russian scholarship about her until after the Soviet period. In 1979, the Soviet scholar, Sofia Polyakova, edited the first Collected Works of Parnok, which was published in the United States. In 1983, Polyakova published Незакатные оны дни: Цветаева и Парнок (Those Unfading Days: Tsvetaeva and Parnok, Ann Arbor, Michigan: Ardis Press), which unravelled the relationship between
