Now I am quietly waiting for the catastrophe of my personality to seem beautiful again, and interesting, and modern.

Every year around Christmas time I draw Esenin and Mayakovsky for my literature art account! 🎄 I’ve been doing this for a few years now and wanted to share this year’s one on here too. I’ve enjoyed seeing my art evolve through these posts over the years. (Links below are my lit art pages!)
Merry Christmas to those who celebrate, and happy holidays to everyone — I hope you all have a wonderful festive time! Wishing you a lot of joy in the new year ahead. 🎇

As much as he is an Asshole of astronomical proportions, he is still my favourite secondary character in the show.
Mischa Mayakovsky is a grumpy, abusive assbasket but he's fucking smart.

Lyudmila Mayakovskaya's flat in Lower Presnya, Moscow
Lyudmila Mayakovskaya was Vladimir Mayakovsky's older sister. I've never known about her, but she was actually a very interesting person. She graduated from the Stroganovsky Art Workshop and in 1910 came to work as an aerography artist at the Tryohkgornaya Textile Factory, soon becoming the head of the aerography department. For many years she was the only female head of department among a hundred of men.

Almost since the first day Lyudmila started teaching other workers her process. In 1920 she joined the team of VHUTEMAS art academy and worked there until 1948. In her autobiography she wrote, "My students work in every textile factory of the USSR."
Thanks to her work and position, in 1927 she was able to buy her own 3-room flat in Lower Presnya where she lived with her sister and mother. Lyudmila was always involved with Vladimir's work as well, for example helping him make stencil copies of posters that he was creating. After his untimely death she was a vocal supporter of him and helped organize a museum. She donated the Presnya flat with all furniture and belongings to the museum after she passed away.
The flat is located in a very typical, no-nonsense 1920s house. For more than 50 years it was used as a museum office and only opened to the public in 2019. Althouth it's Lyudmila's flat, much of the exposition is understandably dedicated to Vladimir.

Vladimir paid for phone line being installed in the flat. This is the original phone from 1927.

I wish more of the original items were saved, especially the kitchen and the bathroom. Still, it was very interesting to see a constructivist era flat with its unusual floor plan (at least two doors in every room for air flow), ice pantry, air ducts, turn-to-ring doorbell etc.

"Art must not be concentrated in dead shrines called museums. lt must be spread everywhere – on the streets, in the trams, factories, workshops, and in the workers' homes."
