"The firt issue evoked wide-ranging responses from acceptance of the futurists to refusal to condone the association of the literary establishment with the radical futurists. The second number caused general indignation ans alienated many who had accepted the firts issue. The only Futurist represented is Mayakovsky whose erotic poetry caused an uproar, and there were two anti-semitic pieces by Rozanov which also alienated many. The tone of the first issue was pre-set by the response to the second" (Compton, The World Backwards, pp. 41-42). Russian Avant-Garde book, Moma, n°114 pages 87.
