Catalogue Note
Strelets was a miscellany founded in 1915 by Alexander Belenson and within its pages are found the entire Hylaea group: Kruchenykh, Khlebnikov, Livshits, the Burliuks, Kamenskii and Mayakovsky, Symbolists such as Blok and Sologub, and other Avant-Gardists such as Evreinov and Lure. The first 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 and alienated many who had accepted the first issue. The only Futurist represented is Mayakovsky whose erotic poetry caused a stir, and there were two anti-semitic pieces by Rozanov which also alienated many.
