Yes, he did say – I’m sorry I didn’t look properly the first time. It’s the Mayakovsky poem Letaiushchii Proletarii (Flying Proletarian). I’ve sent you a link to the book that’s also very interesting. I tried to summarise it in the post https://misfitsarchitecture.com/2018/01/19/history-repeating-1-tragedy/ but don’t think I really did it justice.
I found the poem in the book Culture Two (Architecture in the Time of Stalin) by Vladimir Paperny. I checked the reference and this is what was there. Unfortunately, it didn’t give the title.
Dear Graham,
Thank you very much for this. Is Paperny claiming to be Mayakofsky’s poem? – Unfortunately I do not have access to the book….
Best,
Christos

Can I please ask, which poem by Mayakovsky is this one?
