Abstract

The article analyzes the editorial and publishing activities of the futurist Vasily Kamensky − unexplored aspect of the poet's creative biography. The work discusses the main stages of the professional development of Kamensky, since his early experience in the anthology "Spring" and "The First Journal of Russian Futurists" and ending with self-organization of his own magazines and newspapers. The article describes the literary situation in 1914 in the history of Russian Futurism and the role that the "First Journal of Russian Futurists" played in the consolidation of various poetic groups. The article investigates the individual features of self-organized editions of Vasily Kamensky, which differ theatrical manner of self-glorification and vital spirits. The work concludes that Kamensky created his own type of self-promotional magazines balancing on the brink of the circus and the theater, but such editions became irrelevant in the conditions of the new Soviet press.

Keywords: futuristic editions, self-promotion, self-presentation, publishing, Russian avant-garde.
