132 years ago today, July 19, 1893 (June 7, 1893 lunar calendar), the Soviet poet Mayakovsky was born. Soviet poet Mayakovsky's work "Good!" Mayakovsky (July 19, 1893-April 14, 1930) was a Soviet Russian poet. Born in the village of Baghdadji, Georgia. The Russian Revolution of 1905 had a great impact on him. He joined the Bolshevik Party in 1908 and engaged in secret revolutionary propaganda. The first long poem,"Clouds in Pants"(1914-1915), criticized the capitalist system and denied dark reality. Works before the October Revolution generally bear the mark of formalism. The poet called the October Revolution "my revolution". In the early days of the victory of the revolution, he wrote poems such as "Our March"(1917),"Ode to Revolution"(1918),"Orders to the Art Army"(1918),"March to the Left"(1918), and the poetic drama "Religious Burlesque"(1918) praised the revolution and reflected the fierce struggle between socialism and capitalism. From October 1919 to February 1922, he participated in the work of "Rosta's Window" and created many encouraging poems, satirical poems, posters and posters that were concise and easy-to-understand, humorous, spicy and satirical. He overcame the influence of futuristic formalism and gradually embarked on the path of realism. The poem "Meeting Fans"(1922), a satirical poem about bureaucracy, was praised by Lenin. When Lenin died in 1924, he wrote the long poem "Lenin" in a deep tone, expressing the great grief of the working people and reproducing Lenin's glorious image against the broad background of revolutionary history. 1922-1929 In 1999, he visited France, Spain, Cuba, Mexico, the United States, etc., and wrote a series of poems on international themes, exposing social ills such as money rule, class oppression, and racial discrimination in capitalist countries by contrast ("Poetry about America", etc.), expressing his love and pride for the Soviet motherland ("Soviet Passport", etc.). In 1927, he wrote the long poem "Good!" to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the October Revolution. This long poem has a strong romantic color, and Lunacharsky called it a "bronze statue of the October Revolution." The satirical comedies "Bedbug"(1928) and "Bathhouse"(1929) have the traditional styles of Gogol and Shedrin. The long poem "Sing With Open Your Throat"(1930) was his last work. In his poem, he summarized his life of creating for the proletarian revolution. Because of how he devoted his life to creation for the proletarian revolution at that time. Due to "personal reasons" such as factional struggles and ideological contradictions in the literary and artistic circles at that time, the poet committed suicide on April 14, 1930. Mayakovsky was born on July 19, 1893 in the village of Baghdji, Georgia. His father was a forest ranger and was very concerned about his children's education. At the age of 9, Mayakovsky entered Kutaisi Venko Middle School and later transferred to Moscow. The 1905 Russian Revolution had a profound impact on him, and he participated in school strikes and demonstrations. In 1908 he joined the Bolshevik Party and engaged in secret revolutionary work. He was arrested and imprisoned three times, where he also organized struggles among political prisoners and read a large number of literary works. In the Russian intellectual and literary circles from the beginning of this century to around the October Revolution, a bourgeois prejudice prevailed that revolution and art were incompatible. Young Mayakovsky, like many other progressive writers, was influenced by this prejudice. Although he had a certain political enthusiasm, supported the party and welcomed the revolution, he mistakenly believed that the party's work would hinder his study and creation. In 1909 he stopped doing party work. The sound of the guns of the October Revolution made Mayakovsky re-recognize the revolution, which he affectionately called "my revolution." At the historic moment when the uprising sailors attacked the Winter Palace, they marched forward singing poems written by Mayakovsky: "You eat pineapples and chew grouse, your end is here, bourgeoisie!" The day after the revolution, the poet came to the Smolny Palace, the uprising headquarters, to work. He wrote a large number of poems singing about the great victory of the October Revolution and calling on artists to integrate with the revolution. He also created the poetic drama "Religious Burlesque", the first modern drama after the revolution. During the Civil War from October 1919 to February 1922, Mayakovsky wrote agitation poems, satirical poems, and made propaganda pictures and posters day and night. These eye-catching poems and paintings posted in street windows cooperated with the party's work and recorded major issues in real life at that time. In the poem, Mayakovsky called on the people to rise up against imperialist armed interference, expressing his belief in victory in the revolutionary cause. The period from 1924 to 1930 was the mature period of Mayakovsky's creation. When he wrote the long poem "Lenin", he had already accepted the perspective of historical materialism. In this poem, the poet expresses the great sadness of hundreds of millions of people over the death of Lenin in a deep tone. This is the first political lyrical narrative work in the history of proletarian literature that depicts revolutionary leaders. However, just as Mayakovsky was about to continue to display his talents, he was rejected and attacked by some sectarian leaders from the leadership position of the "Rapp (Russian Proletarian Writers Union)". In January 1930, Mayakovsky created his last work-"Sing With Open Your Throat", summarizing his life. He directly told "future comrades" that his creations were dedicated to the proletarians of the world. On April 14 of the same year, Mayakovsky committed suicide full of grief and indignation. In his letter to "To Everyone", he explained the reasons for his suicide. News raw data sources → https://www.abtool.cn/today_detail/1eck.html 17WorldNews[2025.09.27-14:16] 访问:114
