+ | Khlebnikov grew up in an ornithologists’s family in a village near the Caspian Sea. He studied mathematics and the natural sciences at the Universities of Kazan’ and St. Petersburg, but never graduated. Khlebnikov began publishing poetry in 1908; by 1912 he was a leading member of the [[Futurism#Russia|Russian Futurists]]. The “verbal mastery” of his zaum’ poetry in ''[[#Khlebnikov1912b|A Slap in the Face of Public Taste]]'' astounded the poet and critic [[Roman Jakobson]], who later deemed him “the greatest world poet of our century.” In writing ''[[#Khlebnikov1922a|The Tables of Destiny]]'', his book of prophecy, Khlebnikov used algorithms to map the events of history and to anticipate the future. In 1912, for instance, he uncannily predicted the collapse of an empire in 1917. During the Civil War, he worked on propaganda posters. He died of malnutrition in Santalovo, in the Novgorod province.

Velimir Khlebnikov [Велимир Хлебников; born Viktor Vladimirovich Khlebnikov, Виктор Владимирович Хлебников; 1885-1922), was a Russian Futurist poet and playwright, also interested in mathematics, history, and mythology.
Khlebnikov grew up in an ornithologists’s family in a village near the Caspian Sea. He studied mathematics and the natural sciences at the Universities of Kazan’ and St. Petersburg, but never graduated. Khlebnikov began publishing poetry in 1908; by 1912 he was a leading member of the Russian Futurists. The “verbal mastery” of his zaum’ poetry in A Slap in the Face of Public Taste astounded the poet and critic Roman Jakobson, who later deemed him “the greatest world poet of our century.” In writing The Tables of Destiny, his book of prophecy, Khlebnikov used algorithms to map the events of history and to anticipate the future. In 1912, for instance, he uncannily predicted the collapse of an empire in 1917. During the Civil War, he worked on propaganda posters. He died of malnutrition in Santalovo, in the Novgorod province.
