Vladimir Vladimirovich Mayakovsky (July 7 (19) ( 18930719 ) , village of Baghdadi, Kutaisi province (modern Baghdati, Imereti region, Georgia) - April 14, Moscow, RSFSR) - Soviet futurist poet, playwright, designer, editor of the magazines "LEF" ("Left Front"), "New LEF" and "REF".

Biography

Vladimir Mayakovsky was born in the village of Baghdadi in Georgia into the family of Vladimir Konstantinovich Mayakovsky (1857-1906), who served as a third-class forester in the Erivan province, from 1889 in the Baghdad forestry. The poet's mother, Alexandra Alekseevna Pavlenko (1867-1954), from a family of Kuban Cossacks, was born in Kuban. Mayakovsky's family tree includes the writer Grigory Petrovich Danilevsky, who in turn had common family roots with the families of A. S. Pushkin and N. V. Gogol. In 1902, Mayakovsky entered the gymnasium in Kutaisi. After the death of his father in 1906, Mayakovsky, his mother and sisters moved to Moscow. In 1906, in Moscow, he entered the fifth gymnasium (now Moscow school No. 91), where he studied in the same class with Pasternak’s brother Shura. He interrupted his studies in 1908 and took up revolutionary activities.

Thanks to his powerful voice, brilliant artistic abilities, powerful stage temperament and incredible charisma, he becomes the clear and unsurpassed leader of all public performances of futurists. However, although he had a voluminous bass with a rich timbre, he had no musical abilities and could not sing, he only recited.

I want to be understood by my native country,
but I won’t be understood -
Well?!
By home country
I'll pass by
How's it going?
slanting rain.

The author then did not dare to include the poems in the text, but in 1928 he published them as part of a critical article, albeit with an apologetic explanation: “Despite all the romance sensitivity (the audience grabs their scarves), I tore out these beautiful, rain-soaked feathers.” There is an opinion that even in the panegyric poem “Good” Mayakovsky mocks the ceremonial officialdom. “He rules with a rod so that he goes to the right. / I'll go right. / Very good." Perhaps this is an involuntary self-parody, but it is also possible that it is a foreshadowing of the postmodern “Policeman” by Prigov. Geniuses often get ahead of themselves.

Nowadays, opponents of the Soviet project blame Mayakovsky for his commitment to the October Revolution. However, the revolution was sung by Blok, Bryusov, Yesenin, Klyuev, Pasternak (who, however, questioned the feasibility of the revolution in the novel “Doctor Zhivago”), Khlebnikov and many, many others, who sincerely and enthusiastically accepted the revolution as the kingdom of the third testament. Such was the general intoxication with revolutionary romance, including the great poets, praising the changes that had begun in the country, as the road to a wonderful new world opening up before a renewed humanity. Now we can say that the Revolution of 1917 had a colossal romantic charm, brought unprecedented inspiration and renewal to the masses, shaped the way of life of tens of millions of young people, and primarily thanks to the work of V.V. Mayakovsky.

In the poem “At the top of my voice” (1930) there is an affirmation of the sincerity of one’s path and the hope of being understood in the “communist distance.” However, the poem “Bad” mysteriously disappeared. Mayakovsky kept all his notebooks. His sharply satirical plays “The Bedbug” and “Bathhouse” were removed from the repertoire. His anniversary portraits were torn out from the already printed magazine by order from above. In addition, a strange parcel with a revolver arrived from Lubyanka.

A reformer of poetic language, he had a great influence on the poetry of the 20th century. Especially on Kirsanov, Voznesensky, Yevtushenko, R. Rozhdestvensky, K. Kedrov. In the poetry of ironists and postmodernists, it is present as a kind of text that was initially commented on and interpreted with the opposite meaning.

He committed suicide (shot himself) on April 14, 1930. At one time there were many rumors that it was a murder, but in the 1990s an examination was carried out based on Mayakovsky’s belongings stored in his museum, which came to the conclusion that he himself shot. However, no examination can be one hundred percent reliable. The suicide version was resolutely rejected by Nikolai Aseev, who shouted directly from the podium: “Something is wrong here! He was killed". Perhaps we will never unravel the mysterious fuss of the special services around the death of the poet. It is completely incomprehensible why, ten days after the interrogation of the poet Veronica Polonskaya’s last love, the investigator who led this complicated investigation was shot. The case of Mayakovsky's suicide was opened the day before his death. There are more questions and hypotheses here than reliable facts. In the last verses, the poet undoubtedly says goodbye to life and the reasons for leaving are by no means political “the love boat crashed into everyday life.” These are not the words of a politician, but of the most tender and subtle lyricist. The ninety-year-old translator of “The Diary of Anne Frank” Rita Wright-Kovalyova said it best about him: “He was gentle!” The best epitaph for a poet who all his life strived to be rude, a son of the era.

Is it for you, who love women and dishes,
give your life for pleasure?!
I'd rather be in the bar whores
serve pineapple water!

To you! (1915)

According to the surviving memoirs of the famous writers of that time, V.P. Kataev and Yu.K. Olesha, the last day of Mayakovsky was reconstructed almost minute by minute. The writers were present in his apartment immediately after the tragic shot and testify that OGPU employees removed Mayakovsky’s brain right in his bedroom for transfer to the Brain Institute in order to establish the biological nature of genius.

The uniqueness of the Mayakovsky phenomenon, the unsurpassed scale of his creative personality, his poems, amazing in their artistic impact, are closely connected with the October Revolution. The most powerful, spiritualized, devoted and furious singer of the Revolution and Lenin was one of the founders of Soviet literary classics, a new revolutionary word. Just as Pushkin is indisputably considered the creator of new Russian literature and poetry of the 19th century, so Mayakovsky is recognized as the founder of Soviet revolutionary aesthetics, the first creator of the romantic, legendary image of V. I. Lenin. Mayakovsky, with the power of his talent, made the events of which he was a contemporary - the First World War, the February Revolution, the October Revolution, the Civil War, the NEP era - epic. Mayakovsky fearlessly addressed his descendants into the distant future, confident that he would be remembered hundreds of years from now:

My verse will break through the vastness of years
And it will appear weightily, roughly, visibly,
How the water supply system came into being these days,
Made by the slaves of Rome!

It is symbolic that the poet died when it became clear that the Revolution had taken place, when the most acute historical moments were already over, life in the USSR was getting better and it became obvious that the course of history was irreversible, and there was no return to pre-revolutionary times. The poet and the Revolution were made for each other, and the fact that there were no longer poets and writers of Mayakovsky’s caliber in the USSR can be explained by the fact that there was no longer an event comparable in historical scale to the October Revolution

Poet and God

The poet embodies the idea of a person as the crown of a worldview, who has the right not to reckon with anything or anyone that is outside of him. A challenge to Heaven is a challenge to God, a directly stated doubt in his omnipotence.

Almighty, you made up a pair of hands,
did,
that everyone has a head -
why didn't you make it up?
so that there is no pain
kiss, kiss, kiss?!

Cloud in Pants (1914-15)

The reproach to the Almighty turns into a sharp fight against God with extremely blasphemous and at the same time images that cut into the consciousness:

I thought you were an all-powerful god,
and you are a dropout, tiny god.

The work of Mayakovsky, who knew the Holy Scripture very well, is full of quotes and hidden references to it, and a constant dispute with it.

Cinema

In 1918, Mayakovsky wrote the script for the film “Not Born for Money” based on Jack London’s novel “Martin Eden”. The poet himself played the main role of Ivan Nov. Not a single copy of this film has survived.

He lived only 36 full years. He lived brightly, created quickly and created a completely new direction in Russian and Soviet poetry. Vladimir Vladimirovich Mayakovsky is a poet, playwright, artist and screenwriter. A tragic and extraordinary personality.

Family

The future poet was born into a nobleman's family in the village of Baghdad, Kutaisi province in Georgia on July 19, 1893. Like his father, his mother was from a Cossack family. Vladimir Konstantinovich was a descendant of Zaporozhye Cossacks, his mother was Kuban. He was not the only child in the family. He also had two sisters - Lyudmila and Olga, who far outlived his talented brother, and two brothers - Konstantin and Alexander. They, unfortunately, died in infancy.

From the tragic

His father, Vladimir Konstantinovich, who served almost his entire life as a forester, died of blood poisoning. While stitching papers, he pricked his finger with a needle. Since then, Vladimir Mayakovsky suffered from bacteriophobia. He was afraid of dying like his dad from an injection. Later, hairpins, needles, and pins became dangerous objects for him.

Georgian roots

Volodya was born on Georgian soil and, subsequently, already a famous poet, in one of his poems Mayakovsky called himself a Georgian. He liked to compare himself with the temperamental people, although he had nothing to do with them by blood. But, apparently, his early years spent on Kutaisi soil, among Georgians, affected his character. He became as hot-tempered, temperamental, restless as his fellow countrymen. He spoke excellent Georgian.

Early years

At the age of eight, Mayakovsky entered one of the gymnasiums in Kutaisi, but after the death of his father in 1906, he moved to Moscow with his mother and sisters. There Vladimir entered the fourth grade of the 5th classical gymnasium. Due to lack of funds to pay for tuition, after a year and a half he was expelled from the educational institution. During this period, he met the Marxists, became imbued with their ideas and joined the party, and was persecuted by the tsarist authorities for his revolutionary views. He had to spend eleven months in Butyrka prison, from which he was released for being a juvenile at the beginning of 1910.

Creation

The poet himself dates the beginning of his poetic creativity from the time of his imprisonment. It was behind bars that Vladimir wrote his first works. An entire notebook with poems was confiscated by the guards. Mayakovsky was a talented person in many areas. After his release, he became interested in painting and even entered the Stroganov School. There he studied in preparatory class. In 1911 he entered the Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture. Three years later he was expelled from the school for speaking publicly at gatherings.

He subsequently gained recognition in the artistic field. For his work on advertising posters for the Dobrolet company, the predecessor of Aeroflot, at the Paris exhibition Vladimir Mayakovsky received a silver medal.

Vladimir Mayakovsky wrote several screenplays for films in which he himself starred.

The creator called himself a “working poet.” Before him, no one wrote sweepingly using the so-called ladder. This was his signature style. Readers admired this innovation, but “colleagues” couldn’t stand it. There is an opinion that Mayakovsky invented this ladder for the sake of fees. In those days they paid for every line.

Love

The poet’s personal relationships were not easy. His first great love was Lilya Brik. Mayakovsky met her in July 1915. They started living together in the eighteenth year. He gave her a ring with the engraving “LOVE”, which meant Lilya Yuryevna Brik.

While traveling in France, Tatyana Yakovleva, a Russian emigrant, the poet ordered his second great love to be sent a bouquet of flowers every day. Even after the poet’s death, flowers came to the Russian beauty. During World War II, Tatyana only saved herself from hunger by selling the bouquets that came to her.

Mayakovsky had two children. Son Gleb-Nikita born in 1921 from artist Lily Lavinskaya and daughter Helen-Patricia born in 1926 from Ellie Jones.

Death

After prolonged attacks in the press, which began in 1929, on April 14, 1930, Vladimir Mayakovsky shot himself in his apartment. Thousands of people attended his funeral. The farewell to the poet lasted for three days.

Life milestones:

July 9, 1983 - birth;
1908 - entry into the RSDLP, conclusion;
1909 - first poems;
1910 - release from prison;

Vladimir Mayakovsky is a famous Russian Soviet poet, playwright, director and actor. Considered one of the greatest poets of the 20th century.

During his short life, Mayakovsky managed to leave behind a large literary heritage, distinguished by a clearly defined style. He was the first to write poetry using the famous “ladder”, which became his “calling card”.

There, Vladimir continues his studies at the gymnasium, but soon he has to leave it because his mother did not have the funds to pay for the education.

Mayakovsky and revolution

After moving to Moscow, Mayakovsky made many revolutionary friends. This led to his joining the RSDLP workers' party in 1908.

The young man sincerely believed in the correctness of his views and did everything possible to promote revolutionary ideas to other people. In this regard, Mayakovsky was arrested several times, but each time he managed to avoid imprisonment.

Later, he was nevertheless sent to Butyrka prison, since he did not stop his campaigning activities, openly criticizing the tsarist government.

An interesting fact is that it was in “Butyrka” that Vladimir Mayakovsky began to write the first poems in his biography.

Less than a year later he was released, after which he immediately left the party.

Mayakovsky's work

On the advice of one of his friends, in 1911, Vladimir Mayakovsky entered the Moscow School of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture - the only place where he was accepted without a certificate of trustworthiness.

It was then that the most important event took place in Mayakovsky’s biography: he became acquainted with futurism - a new direction in art, from which he immediately became delighted.

In the future, futurism will become the basis of all Mayakovsky’s work.

Special features of Mayakovsky

Soon several poems come out from his pen, which the poet reads among his friends.

Later, Mayakovsky, together with a group of cubo-futurists, goes on tour around the city, where he gives lectures and his works. When he heard Mayakovsky's poems, he praised Vladimir, and even called him the only true poet among the futurists.

Feeling confident in his abilities, Mayakovsky continued to engage in writing.

Works by Mayakovsky

In 1913, Mayakovsky published his first collection “I”. An interesting fact is that there were only 4 poems in it. In his works he openly criticized the bourgeoisie.

However, in parallel with this, sensual and tender poems periodically appeared from his pen.

On the eve of the First World War (1914-1918), the poet decides to try himself as a playwright. Soon he will present the first tragic play in his biography, “Vladimir Mayakovsky,” which will be staged on the theater stage.

As soon as the war began, Mayakovsky volunteered for the army, but was not accepted into its ranks for political reasons. Apparently the authorities were afraid that the poet might become the initiator of some kind of unrest.

As a result, the offended Mayakovsky wrote the poem “To You,” in which he criticized the tsarist army and its leadership. Later, 2 magnificent works “Cloud in Pants” and “War Declared” came from his pen.

At the height of the war, Vladimir Mayakovsky met the Brik family. After that, he met with Lilya and Osip very often.

It is interesting that it was Osip who helped the young poet publish some of his poems. Then 2 collections were published: “Simple as a Moo” and “Revolution. Poetochronika".

When the October Revolution was brewing in 1917, Mayakovsky met it at the headquarters in Smolny. He was delighted with the events that took place and helped the Bolsheviks, whose leader he was, in every possible way.

During the biography of 1917‑1918. he composed many poems dedicated to revolutionary events.

After the end of the war, Vladimir Mayakovsky became interested in cinema. He created 3 films in which he acted as a director, screenwriter and actor.

In parallel with this, he painted propaganda posters, and also worked in the publication “Art of the Commune”. Then he became editor of the magazine “Left Front” (“LEF”).

In addition, Mayakovsky continued to write new works, many of which he read on stages in front of the public. It is interesting that during the reading of the poem “Vladimir Ilyich Lenin” at the Bolshoi Theater, he himself was present in the hall.

According to the poet’s recollections, the years of the civil war turned out to be the happiest and most memorable of his entire biography.

Having become a popular writer in Russia, Vladimir Mayakovsky visited several countries, including the USA.

At the end of the 20s, the writer wrote satirical plays “The Bedbug” and “Bathhouse”, which were to be staged at the Meyerhold Theater. These works received many negative reviews from critics. Some newspapers even carried headlines “Down with Mayakovism!”

In 1930, his colleagues accused the poet of allegedly not being a real “proletarian writer.” However, despite the continuous criticism against him, Mayakovsky nevertheless organized the exhibition “20 Years of Work”, in which he decided to sum up his creative biography.

As a result, not a single poet from LEF came to the exhibition, nor, indeed, a single representative of the Soviet government. For Mayakovsky this was a real blow.

Mayakovsky and Yesenin

In Russia, there was an irreconcilable creative struggle between Mayakovsky.

Unlike Mayakovsky, Yesenin belonged to a different literary movement - imagism, whose representatives were the sworn “enemies” of the futurists.

Vladimir Mayakovsky and Sergei Yesenin

Mayakovsky extolled the ideas of revolution and the city, while Yesenin paid attention to the countryside and the common people.

It is worth noting that although Mayakovsky had a negative attitude towards his opponent’s work, he recognized his talent.

Personal life

The only and true love of Mayakovsky’s life was Lilya Brik, whom he first saw in 1915.

Once upon a visit to the Brik family, the poet read the poem “A Cloud in Pants”, after which he announced that he was dedicating it to Lila. The poet later called this day “the most joyful date.”

Soon they began dating in secret from her husband Osip Brik. However, it was impossible to hide my feelings.

Vladimir Mayakovsky dedicated many poems to his beloved, among which was his famous poem “Lilichka!” When Osip Brik realized that an affair had begun between the poet and his wife, he decided not to interfere with them.

Then there was a very unusual period in Mayakovsky’s biography.

The fact is that since the summer of 1918, the poet and Briki lived together, the three of them. It should be noted that this fit well into the concept of marriage and love that was popular after the revolution.

They were developed a little later.

Vladimir Mayakovsky and Lilya Brik

Mayakovsky provided the Brik spouses with financial support, and also regularly gave Lila expensive gifts.

Once he gave her a Renault car, which he brought from Paris. And although the poet was crazy about Lily Brik, there were many mistresses in his biography.

He was in a close relationship with Liliya Lavinskaya, from whom he had a boy, Gleb-Nikita. Then he had an affair with Russian emigrant Ellie Jones, who gave birth to his girl Helen-Patricia.

After that, his biography included Sofya Shamardina and Natalya Bryukhanenko.

Shortly before his death, Vladimir Mayakovsky met with emigrant Tatyana Yakovleva, with whom he even planned to connect his life.

He wanted to live with her in Moscow, but Tatyana was against it. In turn, the poet could not go to see her in France due to problems with obtaining a visa.

The next girl in Mayakovsky’s biography was Veronica Polonskaya, who was married at that time. Vladimir tried to persuade her to leave her husband and start living with him, but Veronica did not dare to take such a step.

As a result, quarrels and misunderstandings began to occur between them. It is interesting that Polonskaya was the last person to see Mayakovsky alive.

When the poet begged her to stay with him during their last meeting, she decided to go to a rehearsal at the theater instead. But as soon as the girl walked out the threshold, she heard a shot.

She did not have the courage to come to Mayakovsky’s funeral, because she understood that the writer’s relatives considered her to be the culprit in the poet’s death.

Death of Mayakovsky

In 1930, Vladimir Mayakovsky was often ill and had problems with his voice. At this period of his biography, he was left completely alone, since the Brik family went abroad. In addition, he continued to hear constant criticism from his colleagues.

As a result of these circumstances, on April 14, 1930, Vladimir Vladimirovich Mayakovsky fired a fatal shot into his chest. He was only 36 years old.

A couple of days before his suicide, he wrote a suicide note, which contained the following lines: “Don’t blame anyone for the fact that I’m dying, and please don’t gossip, the deceased didn’t like it terribly...”

In the same note, Mayakovsky calls Lilya Brik, Veronica Polonskaya, mother and sisters members of his family and asks to transfer all the poems and archives to the Briks.

Mayakovsky's body after suicide

After Mayakovsky’s death, for three days, amid an endless stream of people, a farewell to the body of the proletarian genius took place in the House of Writers.

Tens of thousands of admirers of his talent escorted the poet to the Donskoye Cemetery in an iron coffin while the Internationale was sung. The body was then cremated.

The urn with Mayakovsky's ashes was moved from the Donskoye Cemetery on May 22, 1952 and buried at the Novodevichy Cemetery.

Mayakovsky's biography contains many dubious moments that make us wonder who the poet really was - a servant of communism or a romantic? A short biography of Vladimir Mayakovsky will give you a general idea of the poet’s life.

The writer was born in Georgia, in the village. Baghdadi, Kutaisi province, July 7, 1893. Little Vova studied well and diligently, and showed interest in painting. Soon the Mayakovsky family experiences a tragedy - the father dies. Working as a forester, the father of the future poet was the only breadwinner. Therefore, a family that has experienced the loss of a loved one finds itself in a difficult financial situation. Next, Mayakovsky's biography leads us to Moscow. Vladimir is forced to help his mother earn money. He has no time left for studies, so he cannot boast of academic success. During this period, Mayakovsky began to have disagreements with his teacher. As a result of the conflict, the rebellious nature of the poet manifests itself for the first time, and he loses interest in his studies. The school decides to expel the future genius from school due to poor performance.

Biography of Mayakovsky: youthful years

After school, Vladimir joins the Social Democratic Party. During this period, the poet was subjected to several arrests. Vladimir wrote his first poem at this time. After his release, Mayakovsky continued his literary work. While studying at the gymnasium, the writer met David Burliuk, who was the founder of a new literary movement - Russian futurism. Soon they become friends, and this leaves an imprint on the themes of Vladimir’s work. He supports futurists, joins their ranks and writes poetry in this genre. The poet's first works are dated 1912. Soon the famous tragedy “Vladimir Mayakovsky” will be written. In 1915, work on his most outstanding poem, “A Cloud in Pants,” was completed.

Biography of Mayakovsky: love experiences

His literary work was not limited to propaganda pamphlets and satirical fables. In the life and work of the poet there is a theme of love. A person lives as long as he experiences a state of love, as Mayakovsky believed. The poet's biography and work testify to his love experiences. The writer's muse, Lilya Brik, the closest person to him, was ambiguous in her feelings towards the writer. Another great love of Vladimir, Tatyana Yakovleva, never married him.

The tragic death of Mayakovsky

To this day, there are conflicting rumors about the mysterious death of the poet. In 1930, on April 14, the writer shot himself in his rented apartment in Moscow under unclear circumstances. Vladimir was 37 years old at that time. Whether it was suicide, or whether Mayakovsky was helped to go to the next world, one can only guess. A short biography of Mayakovsky contains evidence that confirms any of the versions. One thing is certain: the country lost a brilliant poet and great man in one day.

Having come to the conclusion that closed groups prevented normal creative communication between Soviet writers, in February 1930 he joined RAPP (Russian Association of Proletarian Writers), which caused condemnation from his friends.
