In 1902, Mayakovsky entered the gymnasium in Kutaisi. After his father's death, Mayakovsky and his mother moved to Moscow.

In 1911 he entered the Moscow school of painting, sculpture and architecture. Entered in a poetry circle and joined the Cubists-futurists. His first published poem was called "Night" (1912), it became a futuristic collection of "slap in the face to public taste".

14 April 1930 at 10:15 am Mayakovsky shot himself in the heart with a revolver. It happened in Moscow in the house № 3 on Lubyanka passage, room No. 12. Obviously, it was a suicide. However, in spite of the posthumous request of a poet "that die, don't blame anyone, and please do not tittle-tattles. Dead this not terribly fond.", speculation continues surrounding his death. Often there is a version about the murder, however, additional examination and investigation of any conclusive evidence of this version have not found.
