 | | Vladimir Vladimirovitch Mayakovsky (July 7 (O.S.) = July 19 (N.S.), 1893 - April 14, 1930) was one of the foremost Russian poets of the early 20th century. |
 | | In the summer of 1915, Mayakovsky fell in love with a married woman, Lilya Brik (whose husband, Ossip apparently did not object to the affair, becoming Mayakovsky's publisher), and it is to her that the poem The Backbone Flute (Fleita pozvonochnik, 1916) is dedicated. |
 | | At the onset of the Russian Revolution, Mayakovsky was in Smolny in Petrograd, and a witness to the coup. |
