(1893-1930) Russian poet and playwright, a revolutionary from early years, a Futurist poet whose verse radically shocked post-Revolution
RUSSIA. Of particular sf interest is his first fully fledged proseSATIRICAL play, Klop (1929; trans Guy Daniels as The Bedbug in The Complete Plays of Vladimir Mayakovsky (coll 1968 US), in which, some generations hence, a Soviet bureaucrat is kept in a zoo as a curious example. Banya (1930; trans Guy Daniels in the same 1968 volume), set in the contemporary USSR, employs a similar array of satirical tools. These two plays were sufficiently sharp in their criticism of the blandness of Soviet ideas that a good deal of official criticism descended on VM'shead.
