May 16 – the premiere at Taganka Theater in Moscow of a staged poetical performance Послушайте! ("Listen!"), based on the works of Russian poet Vladimir Mayakovsky. The show is in repertoire until April 1984, is revived in May 1987 and again in repertoire until June 1989.Beumers, Birgit, Yury Lyubimov at the Taganka Theatre, 1964-1994, p. 311, Amsterdam: Harwood Academic Publishers (1997), 3-7186-5875-5, retrieved via Google Books on June 7, 2010. Soviet authorities, acting through the Union of Soviet Writers, deny popular Russian poet Andrei Voznesensky permission to visit New York for a poetry reading at Lincoln Center, apparently because of remarks the poet made on a previous U.S. visit that were deemed pro-American, although the official reason is that Voznesensky's health is too poor for him to travel. In response, Voznesensky excoriates the literary union in a letter he sends to Pravda, which the newspaper refuses to publish. Nevertheless, copies of the letter, accusing the literary-union authorities of "lies, lies, lies, bad manners and lies", are distributed widely in literary circles. On July 2, Voznesensky strongly criticizes the literary union in a poem he reads at the Taganka Theater in Moscow. The union demands a retraction, but he refuses. According to Voznesensky's 2010 obituary in The New York Times, "The issue was ultimately smoothed over".Anderson, Raymond H., "Andrei Voznesensky, Poet, Dies at 77", The New York Times, June 2, 2010, retrieved June 7, 2010.
