The Russian Futurist Manifesto shared similar ideas to Marinetti's Manifesto, such as the rejection of old literature for the new and unexpected. The most important group of Russian Futurism may be said to have been born in December 1912, when the Moscow-based literary group Hylaea ( Russian: Гилея ) (initiated in 1910 by David Burlyuk and his brothers at their estate near Kherson, and quickly joined by Vasily Kamensky and Velimir Khlebnikov, with Aleksey Kruchenykh and Vladimir Mayakovsky in 1911) issued a manifesto entitled A Slap in the Face of Public Taste (Russian: Пощёчина общественному вкусу). It fused Khlebnikov and Kruchenykh's poems with Goncharova's bold imagery. Igra v Adu ( A Game in Hell Moscow 1914 edition) is an example of the collaborations of Futurist writers and visual artists. Origins The Knifegrinder (1912-13), by Kazimir Malevich, is an example how Cubism and Futurism crossed over to create Cubo-Futurism, a combined art form. This was the first group of Russian futurism to call themselves "futurist" shortly afterwards, many other futurists followed in using the term too. Initially the term "futurism" was problematic, because it reminded them too much of their rivals in Italy however, in 1911, the Ego-futurist group began. The Russian Futuristic movement saw its demise in the early 1920s. Artforms were greatly affected by the Russian Futurism movement within Russia, with its influences being seen in cinema, literature, typography, politics, and propaganda. Marinetti explained the “beauty of speed” as “a roaring automobile is more beautiful than the Winged Victory” further asserting the movement towards the future. The Manifesto celebrated the “beauty of speed” and the machine as the new aesthetic. Notable Russian Futurists included Natalia Goncharova, Mikhail Larionov, David Burliuk, Kazimir Malevich, Vladimir Mayakovsky, and Velimir Khlebnikov. Russian Futurism ended shortly after the Russian Revolution of 1917, after which former Russian Futurists either left the country, or participated in the new art movements. The 1912 movement was originally called Cubo-Futurism, but this term is now used to refer to the style of art produced. Russian Futurism began roughly in the early 1910s in 1912, a year after Ego-Futurism began, the literary group "Hylea" - also spelt "Guilée" and "Gylea" – issued the manifesto A Slap in the Face of Public Taste. Russian Futurism is the broad term for a movement of Russian poets and artists who adopted the principles of Filippo Marinetti's " Manifesto of Futurism," which espoused the rejection of the past, and a celebration of speed, machinery, violence, youth, industry, destruction of academies, museums, and urbanism it also advocated for modernization and cultural rejuvenation.
