Mayakovsky, Vladimir Vladimirovich (1893–1930)
| Russian Futurist poet. He combined revolutionary propaganda with efforts to revolutionize poetic technique in his poems 150,000,000 (1920) and V I Lenin (1924). His satiric play The Bedbug (1928) was taken in the West as an attack on philistinism in the USSR. |
