and in 1914 helped to publish the first story, "Swedish gloves", then the other. The author, who could be considered the first Russian surrealist, if his legacy is quite preserved. An aesthete who adored a magazine graphics and painted in the style of Jacques Your. Person magazines, clippings, albums, pictures replaced travel, the city, to which he was not destined to pass. The specimen, which were jealous of, and which parodied the futurists, but which were left alone parody. A dreamer and a dandy, who was arrested and shot by the Bolsheviks in 1938.
