In Russian literature it is difficult to name the name of the writer who took such an active part in the publication of his works as Mayakovsky. In many cases, he not only created the idea of ​ ​ the future book, but also directly embodied it, acting as a publisher, designer, printer, etc. Therefore, the history of the publication of the poet's works is, in the true sense of the word, part of his human and creative biography.
