I guess he was a close friend of Malevich whom he saved once from death.

You can also find some information about Nina Ferdinandovna
Agadzhanova-Shutko on the same web-site. She lived in Moscow and taught at
VGIK. According to the existing lists of victims of Stalin's regime she
wasn't affected by the purges:

> Also a good friend of Kandinskii. Did Shutko die a natural death,

> And what about Shutko's wife, Nina Ferdinandovna Agadzhanova
> (1889-1974; credited as co-scenarist of Eisenstein's "Potemkiin" 
> and of Pudovkin's "Deserter" in '33)?  Was she affected in any way
