Mayakovsky

As a poet, Vladimir Mayakovsky changed the context of Russian and Soviet literature both before and after the revolution. His controversial suicide to this day is a subject of debate. This is an extract from a larger documentary by Copernicus Films and the Director, Michael Craig, about Mayakovsky and part of a series of six films about the Russian avant-garde and futurism.

I was crying when i was in the museum of Mayakovskiy in Moscow, observing the room where he committed suicide. I dont have enough words do describe my admiration. Personality, poetry, voice, appearance I was all shaking looking at his clothes and personal things. When I read his letters to Lilya Brick i was so mad,I couldnt hold myself. he is the ONE, forever.

mayakovsy was true genius, true revolutioner. his poem "LISTEN!!!!...." that is pasted here, was written when he was 20 year old. just think about it. what an understanding of world. he was the rapper, that was the first time russian poetry got right direction.
