Чешские и словацкие ученые о В.В. Маяковском

Abstract

The article Czech and Slovak Scientists about V.V. Mayakovsky is dedicated to the Russian and Soviet poet, futurist V.V. Mayakovsky. Our job is to cleanse his image of the layers of ideological prejudice and put him on his pedestal, because we are dealing with one of the most original poets in the world, whose work has always aroused attention, and often passion. The focus of the study is the reception of the writer in the Czechoslovak cultural space during his lifetime, in the interwar period, in the period after the end of World War II, during the period of building socialism in our countries and after 1989, i. e. at the time of the change in the socio-political situation and the emergence of two independent republics. After many decades, our article is an attempt to re-imagine for Czech and Slovak readers one of the most original poets of world literature without the burden of ideological ballast.
