In Russian literary criticism there is a real confusion with the concepts of “direction” and “current”. What can be said with absolute certainty - he was an avant-garde poet, one of the brightest representatives of the poetic and artistic avant-garde (the poet was also an interesting painter, the author of the famous posters for “Windows of GROWTH”). If avant-gardeism is considered an artistic movement, then Mayakovsky belonged to such a movement as Russian futurism - in its cubo-futurist variety.
However, the very name “Cubo-Futurists”, or simply “Futurists”, was adopted by Mayakovsky and his group comrades (Aleksey Kruchenykh, David Burliuk, Benedikt Livshits and others) only at the end of 1913, largely due to the fact that they were called so by analogy with the Italian futurists. The members of the group themselves, wanting to avoid such a comparison, preferred to call themselves “Budetlyans.” This word, coined by Velimir Khlebnikov, was a carbon copy of the word “futurists” and literally meant “inhabitants of the future.” The Futurists were also called the “Gilea” group, from the Greek “forest”, which is how the ancient Greeks called the area inhabited by the legendary Scythians. And the futurists felt like “Scythians”, threatening modern bourgeois civilization.
For the sake of distinction from the Italian futurists, as well as from other domestic futurist groups (primarily ego-futurists), the prefix “cubo” was invented - a sign of solidarity with European cubist artists, primarily Georges Braque and.
However, futurism existed only until the revolution, after which it broke up into many small avant-garde groups that stole its discoveries and undertakings (comfutists, fuists, formlibrists, expressionists, nichevoks and others). Mayakovsky himself founded at the end of 1922 another completely avant-garde literary group - “Lef” (“Left Front”), as well as a magazine of the same name. But by the end of the 1920s, avant-garde art, primarily due to powerful pressure from the authorities, was gradually forced out of the artistic field of the USSR, and Lef itself turned out to be an unviable association. He survived several crises, dissolution and reorganization in 1929 under a new name - “Ref” (“Revolutionary Front”), and a year later Mayakovsky made a decision that was in many ways fatal both for “Ref” and for himself personally: and wrote in 1930 application for membership in the Russian Association of Proletarian Writers. The poet expressed his wish: “I believe that all active ref members should draw the same conclusion, dictated by all our previous work”. The poet’s comrades did not approve or support his decision, and in RAPP itself Mayakovsky never found new like-minded people, which was one of the reasons for the tragic ending of his life.

6. Do you agree with the opinion of literary critic V. M. Zhirmunsky: “Gumilyov does not embody spiritual tension... in a lyrical song that directly reflects the emotionality of the poet. His poems are poor in emotional and musical content; he rarely talks about intimate and personal experiences, like most of the poets of Hyperborea; he avoids the lyrics of love and the lyrics of nature, too individual confessions and too heavy self-absorption.” Justify your opinion.
7. About which poet did S. Gorodetsky say:
He believes in weight, he honors space

Give examples from Gumilyov's works that confirm this point of view.
7. Whose exploits does S. Gorodetsky write about?
Name, find out, tear off the covers
And idle secrets, and old darkness -
