The name of the journal is not from Lef's “literature of fact”, but from the article “Literary Fact” by Yuri Tynyanov, in which he wrote:

“Definitions of literature, operating with its ‘main’ features, run into a living literary fact. While to give a firm definition of literature is becoming more and more difficult, any contemporary will point his finger at what a literary fact is. He will say that one thing does not belong to literature, representing a fact of poet's everyday or personal life, but the other thing, on the contrary, is precisely a literary fact.”
