Mayakovskiy (1893 - 1930), born in Georgia to Cossack/Ukrainian parents, was a multi-talented revolutionary poet who also designed posters and produced films. Known for decades as the author of the famous line that became a longstanding Soviet motto: "Lenin lives, lived and will live!" Disillusioned with life and the Soviet state, he committed suicide at 37.
