Margarita Meyendorff (Mourka)
Margarita Meyendorff (Mourka) is an award-winning author of two published books: her memoir entitled DP: Displaced Person which is being translated into Russian for publication in Russia, and an anthology of 30 short stories entitled Flipping the Bird.
The daughter of a Russian Baron, she was born displaced in a refugee camp in Germany, far from the opulence of Imperial Russia that was her birthright. A series of wars destroyed this privileged existence, and Mourka’s life became a series of extraordinary moves. She has performed as an actress, dancer, musician, and storyteller at venues throughout the United States and in Europe. Currently, Mourka is writing her third book entitled The Magic Bus about her and her husband’s adventures in their 1991 VW Pop Up Westfalia camper.
