Birth of Mayakovsky:
Person, Citizen and Poet!
___Mayakovsky was born in the Georgian village of Bagdadi on July 19, 1893. From a giant jug of wine ("Churi") like the Djinn from his bottle, a man appears ready to challenge to the bright heavens of Bagdadi:
« "Hi! Heavens! Take off your hat! I am going!"»

___The poet's birth was marked by the first collection «I» and the tragedy «Vladimir Mayakovsky» at the stage of the Luna Park in St.Petersburg. The hero is surrounded by carnival masks hiding the faces of D. Burlyuk, V. Khlebnikov, M. Matyushin, A. Kruchenykh... Futurists got their new leader, and Russia got its new Poet.
