At the time of the October Revolution, in Moscow, short of bread and fuel, a group of young educational workers, including Lydia Seifullina, walked all the way from Usachovka to the Polytechnical Museum to attend a discussion between futurists and imagists. it was at that discussion that Seifullina furst say Mayakovsky. Recalling the occasion decades later, Seifullina wrote:
He [Mayakovsky] entered the hall suddenly and noiselessly, appearing not
on the stage but in the aisle at the back. Such was the quality of
Mayakovsky, however, that his presence could never remain unnoticed. . .
. There was a movement in the hall. People sitting in the front rows
turned their heads. I, too, looked around and I saw a face that is
impossible to forget.
