Arenât you ashamed to vote for printing 5,000 copies of Mayakovskyâs â150,000,000â?
It is nonsense, stupidity, double-dyed stupidity and affectation.[1]
I believe such things should be published one in ten, and not more than 1,500 copies, for libraries and cranks.
As for Lunacharsky, he should be flogged for his futurism.
6/V.
Lenin
- â The poem â150,000,000â had signs of V. V. Mayakovskyâs early futuristic trend: it was written in a mannered style and cast in a complicated form; he denied the classical heritage and extolled futurism as the only literary trend consonant with the times.
