'This exhibition is not a jubilee, it's an account of my work. I demand help - n
ot the glorification of non-existent virtues. That's what we are talking about,
comrades, and not about glorifying private persons.' Mayakovsky was a poet, play
wright, artist, director, actor, diarist, producer of agitprop posters and adver
tisement slogans, and writer of articles, essays and speeches.
