Catalogue Note
This collection of miscellaneous pieces was produced by members of Hylaea and the Union of Youth in order to coincide with the Italian futurist Marinetti's visit to Russia. Severyanin, the founder of Egofuturism, was a new addition to the group, and it is likely that the aggressive manifesto with which this volume opens, "Idite k chortu [Go to hell]", in which they grouped Symbolists, Ego-Futurists and Acmeists together, is due to his influence.
