In the poem "Vladimir Ilyich Lenin" V. Mayakovsky recreates the image of the leader both as a politician and as a demiurge. The poem was completed in October 1924. Its author is 31 years old, he travels around the country with lectures and reading poetry, composes slogans for propaganda posters, and visits Europe for a short time. According to the genre - ode to the leader, biography, in size - an accent verse with rhyming, which can be called cross-rhyming, there is no division into stanzas, there are inaccurate, composite rhymes. It is based on the January impressions of the death and funeral of V. Lenin. The poet covers the history of mankind from European revolutions and industrial upheaval. Like Soviet Boyan, begins an epic "story." Disowns any hint of the leader's chosenness from above: he is earthly.
