Hi guys,
thanks for stopping by my blog. But I am no expert on Majakovski and I don't know where to find versions of his poems in other languages. I simply chose the title of one of his poems for my blog because I like it, that's all. Try Wikipedia or the advanced search on Google. Google knows it all, I don't. Good luck.
