Poet of the Revolution

Vladimir Mayakovsky was a Bolshevik poet during the revolution. Here is a bit from his poem entitled "My Soviet Passport": I'd tear like a wolf at bureaucracy. For mandates my respect's but the slightest. To the devil himself I'd chuck without mercy every red-taped paper, But this ... I pull out of my wide trouser-pockets duplicate of a priceless cargo. You now: read this and envy, I'm a citizen of the Soviet Socialist Union!
