In the poem "At the Top of my Voice" (1930), the statement of the sincerity of my path and the hope of being understood in the "communist faraway".

I loved it.
It's not worth rummaging through the old one.
Mayakovsky Vladimir Vladimirovich
Family.
Study.
Revolutionary activity
Vladimir Mayakovsky was born into a noble family.
Mayakovsky's father served as a forester in the Caucasus; after his death (1906), the family lived in Moscow.
Mayakovsky studied at the classical gymnasium in Kutaisi (1901-1906), then at the 5th Moscow Gymnasium (1906-1908), from where he was expelled for non payment.
Vladimir Mayakovsky's further education was artistic: he studied in the preparatory class of the Stroganov School (1908), in the studios of artists S. Y. Zhukovsky and P. I. Kelin, in the figure class of the School of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture (1911-1914, expelled for participating in scandalous performances of futurists).
Back in 1905 in Kutaisi, Vladimir Mayakovsky took part in gymnasium and student demonstrations, in 1908, having joined the RSDLP, he led propaganda among Moscow workers.
He was arrested several times, and in 1909 spent 11 months in Butyrskaya prison.
He called the time of his imprisonment the beginning of his poetic activity; the poems he had written were taken away from him before his release.
Long live — again!
- my madness!
Mayakovsky Vladimir Vladimirovich
Vladimir Mayakovsky and Futurism
In 1911, Mayakovsky formed a friendship with the artist and poet D. D. Burlyuk, who in 1912 organized the literary and artistic group of futurists "Gilea".
Since 1912, Vladimir Mayakovsky has constantly participated in debates about new art, exhibitions and evenings held by the radical associations of avant garde artists "Jack of Diamonds" and "Union of Youth".
Mayakovsky's poetry has always maintained a connection with the visual arts, primarily in the very form of writing poems (a column, later a "ladder"), which assumed an additional, purely visual, impression produced by a poetic page.
Mayakovsky's poems were first published in 1912 in the almanac of the Gilea group "Slap in the Face to Public Taste", where a manifesto was also placed, signed by Mayakovsky, Velemir Khlebnikov, A. E. Kruchenykh and Burlyuk, which in a deliberately shocking form declared a break with the traditions of Russian classics, the need to create a new language of literature corresponding to the era.
The embodiment of the ideas of Mayakovsky and his like minded Futurists about the purpose and forms of new art was the production of his poetic tragedy "Vladimir Mayakovsky" at the St. Petersburg theater "Luna Park" in 1913 (published in 1914).
The scenery for it was painted by artists from the" Union of Youth " P. N. Filonov and I. S. Shkolnik, and Vladimir Mayakovsky himself acted as a director and performer of the main role — a poet suffering in a disgusting modern city that has disfigured and corrupted its inhabitants, who, although they elect the poet as their prince, but do not know how to recognize and appreciate the sacrifice he makes.
"The Creator in a burning hymn".
Poetry of the 1910s
Fear screams from the heart,
Rushing around in the face, hopeless and boring.
Mayakovsky Vladimir Vladimirovich
Comes in 1913 Mayakovsky's book of the four poems called "I", his poems appear in the pages of futurist almanacs (1913-1915) "Milk mares", "Dead moon", "Roaring Parnassus", begin to be published in periodicals, published the poem "a Cloud in trousers" (1915) and "backbone Flute" (1916), "War and peace" (1917), a collection of "Simple as Moo" (1916).
The poetry of Vladimir Mayakovsky are filled with rebellion against the entire world order — the social contrasts of modern urban civilization, the traditional view is beautiful and the poetry of ideas about the universe, heaven and God.
Mayakovsky uses a belligerently broken, rude, stylistically reduced language that contrasts with traditional poetic images — "lay down love on the violins", "nocturne... on the flute of drainpipes".
The lyrical hero, shocking the layman with sharpness, brittle language and blasphemy ("God was caught in the sky with a Lasso"), remains a romantic, lonely, tender, suffering, feeling the value of "the smallest speck of living dust".
We must snatch joy from the coming days.
Mayakovsky Vladimir Vladimirovich
Mayakovsky's poems of the 1910s were focused on reproduction in oral form — from the stage, at evenings, debates (the collection "For the Voice", 1923; in magazines, newspapers and book publications, poems often appeared in a form distorted by censorship).
Their short chopped lines, "ragged" syntax, "colloquialism" and deliberately familiar ("fraternal") intonation could not be better suited for listening: "... do you, who love women and dishes, give your life to please?".
In combination with his tall stature ("hefty, with a step of a fathom") and the sonorous voice of Mayakovsky, all this created a unique individual image of a poet fighter, an area rally speaker, a defender of the "language — free street" in the "hell of the city", whose words cannot be beautiful, they are "cramps stuck together in a lump".
Already in the early rebellious poems and poems of Mayakovsky, a love lyrical theme occupies a significant place: "My love, like an apostle during it, I will spread the roads along a thousand thousand."
Love "torments the soul" of a suffering, lonely poet.
In 1915, Vladimir Mayakovsky met Lilya Brik, who took a central place in his life.
From their relationship, the futurist poet and his beloved sought to build a model of a new family, free from jealousy, prejudice, and traditional principles of relations between women and men in a "bourgeois" society.
Many of the poet's works are associated with the name Brik, the intimate intonation colors the letters of Mayakovsky addressed to her.
Declaring in the 1920s that "now is not the time for love affairs", the poet nevertheless remains faithful to the theme (lyrical poems, the poem "About It", 1923), which reaches a tragically heart rending sound in the last lines of Mayakovsky — in the unfinished introduction to the poem "At the Top of his Voice" (1930).
There are no perfect families, all families are bursting, there can only be perfect love.
And you canot establish love by any "must", by any "canot" - only by free competition with the whole world.
Mayakovsky Vladimir Vladimirovich
"I want to be understood by my country"
The revolution was accepted by Mayakovsky as the realization of retribution for all those offended in the former world, as a path to an earthly paradise.
Vladimir Mayakovsky asserts the position of Futurists in art as a direct analogy of the theory and practice of the Bolsheviks and the proletariat in history and politics.
Mayakovsky organized in 1918 a group of "Kompot" (Communist futurism), actively participates in the newspaper "Art commune" in 1923 creates a "Left front of the arts" (LEF), which included his like — minded writers and artists, publishes magazines "LEF" (1923-1925) and "New LEF" (1927-1928).
Trying to use all the artistic tools to support the new state, promotion of new values, Mayakovsky writes topical satire, poetry and limericks for campaign posters ("Windows of GROWTH", 1918-1921).
Rudeness, clarity, directness, his poetic style, the ability to transform design elements of book and journal page in an efficient, expressive means of poetry all this has ensured the success of "ringing the power of the poet", dedicated wholly to the service of the interests of "attacking class."
The embodiment of Mayakovsky's position of these years were his poems "150 000 000" (1921), "Vladimir Ilyich Lenin" (1924), "Good!" (1927).
The sun would have faded, having seen our souls golden placers.
Mayakovsky Vladimir Vladimirovich
By the end of the 1920s, Vladimir Mayakovsky had a growing sense of inconsistency with the political and social reality that inspired him from his adolescence to the high ideals of the revolution, according to which he built his entire life — from clothes and gait to love and creativity.
The comedies "The Bug" (1928) and "The Bathhouse" (1929) are a satire (with elements of dystopia) on a bourgeois society that has forgotten about the revolutionary values for which it was created.
The internal conflict with the surrounding reality of the coming "bronze" Soviet century undoubtedly turned out to be among the most important stimuli that pushed the poet to the last rebellion against the laws of the world order — suicide on April 14, 1930.
