Comrade Pokrovsky,

I again and again beg you to help in the fight against futurism, etc.

1) Lunacharsky has had Mayakovsky’s “150,000,000” passed for printing in the Board (alas!).

Can this not be stopped? It must be stopped. Let us agree that these futurists are not to be printed more than twice a year and in editions of not more than 1,500 copies.

2) Kiselis, who, they say, is a “realist” artist, has, it is alleged, been ousted again by Lunacharsky, who is pushing the futurist both directly and indirectly.

Can reliable anti-futurists not be found?

Lenin
