In Russian. Publishes the text of two epigrams by Ivanov in the newspaper edited by Aseev, together with a short commentary. The epigrams were inspired by a 1910 “Venok” exhibition of modernist artists and later recalled from memory by D. Burliuk in an interview with Aseev. Source: Khardzhiev, 1989.31; unverified. Aseev also cites Burliuk’s description of Ivanov’s opening speech at an evening in January 1918 during which Maiakovskii read
“Chelovek” [Man]. Source: Katanian, 1945.2; unverified. See also Tschižewskij, 1960.10 and Khardzhiev, 1989.31.
