Beloved Vladimir Mayakovsky Lilya Brik Bashny.Net

Sometimes people become famous not for their own merits, but because of someone he loved very much. Such was the mistress of Vladimir Mayakovsky Lilya Brik. I look at her pictures and trying to understand - that it was, that she was able to go down in history? Maybe she was playing all his life and, therefore, all that happened? It looks like it.





Lily loved only Ossip, who did not love her; Mayakovsky - only Lily, who, alas, did not love him; and finally, all three of them could not live without each other.

It was their two sisters Kagan. The eldest - a crazy and frankly sexual Wild Child, to say the prostitute, Lily, who is rumored to nearly seduced Chaliapin, married Osip Brik and at the same time - for Vladimir Mayakovsky. Jr., Elsa, much later married a French officer Andre Tirol and moved to Paris, where he divorced and became the wife of Louis Aragon. The second was the famous French writer, laureate of the Prix Goncourt. First - just a legend.
