Mayakovskava
Street (Маяковского)
Named after the Soviet poet Vladimir
Mayakovsky (1893-1930). During the Soviet revolution
he supported the Bolsheviks, and his poems during
this period reflect the ideological aspirations of
the Communist movement and is interlaced with its
propaganda.
Mayakovsky
loved Odessa and visited this city four times. During
his first visit he feel in love with one of the beautiful
Odessa girls, but she did not return his love. Regardless,
it served as the inspiration for the well-known Soviet
poem "A cloud of pants".
Mayakovsky
seemed to have no luck with women, and they were ultimately
his downfall. He committed suicide in 1930, possibly
because of the refusal of a girl he met in Paris to
marry him and the poor reception of his play "The
Bathhouse" right before his death.
