19 14 was recruited into the czar's army and served in Vladivostok until 19 17. 19 16 joined the Russian social democratic workers' party (its membership was terminated on 1922).

Creative process
The first book of poetry "Overture" was published in 19 13, and its poetics was formed under the remarkable influence of the "Ukrainian hut" poets. The following anthologies-Boldness and Pan Futurism (19 14) mark the beginning of Ukrainian Pan Futurist Poetry-The Art of Seeking (parallel to Russian Cubism and Self Futurism).
19 14 when the first world war broke out, m Smenko was mobilized to Vladivostok in the far east, where he worked as a telegraph operator. There, the poet wrote two poems, pierrot's Determination and pierrot's Love, to test himself with impressionism and symbolism. The change of artistic conception is related to romantic and sad love stories.
19 14 years, the poet Mikhail Semenko's poem "City" reached the peak of his creation. The phrase "Oste ste, bi bo bu" became a symbol of the national struggle at that time. In these poems, the great poet described the problems of Ukrainian cities at that time, which were far ahead in technology, with trams, cars and all related problems. Some people think that he foresaw the problem of urban congestion and actively tried to replace gasoline with more environmentally friendly fuel.
The writing story of the poem "City" is very interesting in itself. Its origin can be traced back to the distant past, when Semenko was a child. So as an ordinary student, I am often bullied by my classmates. A boy named Boris stands out from their background. Boris's jokes are terrible, but somehow the poet's poems don't show its influence on the poet. Mikhail wants to commit suicide, but we already know that the story develops according to different plots. In the fight against bullying, Semenko got help from two boys-Viacheslav Candiba and Valentine Pew. They almost became best friends and pulled their master out of the bottom of society. Futurists have not forgotten this feat, and he will always remember their feat in the poem "City". The sentence "bi boo bo" perfectly illustrates the truth of this statement: bi and boo are Mikhail's friends (bi is Kandiba and boo is Valentine), and bo is the main villain in the author's life (starting with the word "Boris"). With these poems, the thought giant not only expressed his protest against the literary order at that time, especially against Shevchenko, but also expressed the significance of friendship and failure, and also successfully became a symbol of "implementing the Renaissance".
The rough and ironic poet disguised himself with the image of pierrot, the lyric hero.
1918-1919 years, Smenko published poetry anthology pierrot's determination, pierrot's love and Nine Poems in Kiev. 19 19, the flamingo publishing house named after the futurist group he founded published works such as pierrot is dead, Brock's notes, in a frost-free garden, and Lilith, revfutpoema (meaning revolutionary futurist narrative poem) and Comrade Sun. At the same time, Semenko is also the editor of Art magazine. Two weeks later, he was arrested by the anti-espionage organization in Denikin on charges of belonging to the * * * production party, and was detained in Lukyanov prison. The manuscript of Oceania confiscated by them disappeared forever.
19 18 became a member of the literary group "White Studio". 1920, Smenko, M. Lyuchenko and O. Slie Salenko jointly published the Yearbook of Three People. 192 1 published a collection of poems "The Light of Threats", formed a "futurist poets' strike group" and changed its name to the pan-futurist association "Aspanfoot" (1922-1924), and its creed and declaration were published in the yearbook "Signals of the Future" (. Under the influence of criticism, Xie Manke turned to the position of "UkrLEF" and changed "Aspanfoot" to "Commukult" (1924). At first, he was the editor-in-chief of Odessa Film Factory VUFKU (1924- 1927).
1924, Semenko published his two collections191kloc-0/922 and named them Kabaza. 1925 published poetry anthology "In Revolution" and film "Prairie". 1927, together with G. Shkurupiy and M. Bazhan, he published the yearbook Meeting at the Crossroads. A new futurist association (writers Geo Shkurupiy, Dmitry Buzko, Leonid Skripnik, Alexey Poltoratsky, Oleksa Vlyzko, artists Vadim Meller, Anatoly Petritsky, etc.) was established, which was named "New Generation" and began to publish a magazine with the same name (1927-199). Under the strong criticism, Semenko is far away from futurism (Kobza Jr. and New Poetry are published in 1928, and Europe and America are published in 1929).
1929- 193 1 year, The Complete Works of mikhail Smenko was published in Kharkov in three volumes.
In the early 1930s, he realized the "fallacies" of his previous positions (modern poetry works (193 1), Soviet diaries (1932), China on fire (1932) and international affairs (65432). This moment is the failure of the whole futuristic thought, because it was Smenko who became the source of inspiration for many writers at that time.
