Osip Brik wrote in the first issue: “The bourgeoisie transformed flesh into spirit. It turned matter into a gaseous state. Instead of solids — ideological evaporations. The proletariat re-establishes flesh, matter, solids in its right. For the proletariat an idea is nothing if it is not realised, if it is not on the way to being realised.”{{cite journal |last1=Glisic |first1=Iva |title=Caffeinated Avant-Garde: Futurism During the Russian Civil War 1917-1921 |journal=Australian Journal of Politics & History |date=September 2012 |volume=58 |issue=3 |pages=353–366 |doi=10.1111/j.1467-8497.2012.01640.x |url=http://sites.bu.edu/revolutionaryrussia/files/2013/09/Caffeinated-Avant-Garde.pdf}}
