Biography of Sergei Yesenin

Yesenin's biography was never unambiguous. Like the poet himself. Someone says that Sergei's biography is the story of an alcoholic and a rowdy who has finished his suicide. Someone considers Sergei Yesenin a victim of Soviet power. But, however that may be, the biography of Sergei Yesenin is really interesting.

So, let's talk about the biography of Sergei Yesenin. His biography began in the village of Konstantinovo, which was in the Ryazan province. In Esenin's family a boy appeared, who was named Seryozha. This happened on September 21, 1885. In 1904, Sergei was sent to study at the Zemstvo school. After his graduation, Sergei was sent to study at the church and teachers' school. Although Yesenin's family was peasant, parents wanted the boy to become an educated person and achieve something in life.

That's why they did not resist when the boy decided to go to Moscow at the age of seventeen. Young Seryozha went to the capital, where his biography completely changed. And it's hard to say what was better: to live such a stormy life, write brilliant poems and go away very young or live to the oldest days the simplest person. However, now nothing can be changed, so it makes no sense to talk about something that will never happen.

And in 1912, Sergei Yesenin moved to Moscow and began working there in the bookshop. Then he got a job at ID Sytin's printing house and began to earn enough money to be able to somehow live in Moscow. In fact, the guy came to the capital not to just earn money. He had a goal and in 1913 Esenin carried it out. The future poet entered the Moscow City People's University named after Shanyavsky at the Faculty of History and Philosophy. During his studies at the university, Sergei also worked in the printing house. This work was not only profitable. It was there that Sergei was able to get acquainted with the poets who were part of the Surikov Literary and Music Circle. Naturally, such acquaintances were simply necessary for a young poet and he was very happy that he can communicate with talented people.

But Yesenin himself was far from mediocrity. In 1914, he reached the point where his poems were first published. The publication was made in the children's magazine Mirou.

Next year Esenin went to Petrograd. There he could meet with such great poets of the time as Gorodetsky, Blok. Young Yesenin read to them his works and coryphaeuses praised his talent. Also, at the same time, Yesenin began to closely associate with "new peasant poets". Another year passed and Yesenin was already able to issue his first collection. It was called Radunitsa. It was this collection that became the beginning of the popularity and fame of the poet. At that time Yesenin even performed in Tsarskoe Selo in front of the empress and her daughters. He did not know then that in a year there would be neither the Empress nor her daughters. And he will have to adjust to the new power, which he once dreamed of, but which he can not accept in the end.

In 1918-1920 Yesenin was in the circle of Imagene. In fact, at that time, he still did not understand how everything went seriously and continued to live the life that he preferred even before the arrival of Soviet power. Yesenin was a young man who was only twenty years old. Of course, he did not want to think about what to say and write correctly. But he was always glad to think of a good drink and beautiful young ladies. Yesenin fell in love with a lot of girls. He was really handsome, intelligent and interesting. In addition, he perfectly knew how to read poetry and, at that time, he was not tormented by any life tragedies. Therefore, the ladies fell in love with Esenin and swore to him in eternal feelings. Some of them were carried to the end of their lives, like Galia Benislavskaya, who loved Yesenin all her life faithfully and faithfully, but she did not wait for a reciprocal feeling from him.

In 1921, Yesenin went on a trip to Central Asia, was in the Urals and in Orenburg. Then he went to Tashkent to his friend, Shiryaevets. There he spoke to the local audience at literary evenings, and also listened to local folklore and walked around the old part of Tashkent.

In the autumn of 1921 Esenin met Isadora Duncan, who became his love and his curse. They got married very soon - six months after they met. Then Yesenin lived for a year and a half in America, but this country did not suit him at all. He wanted to go home to Russia. Duncan did not understand this and soon after the poet's return to his homeland he and the aysedor divorced.

At that time Yesenin was already an unwelcome person in his own country. The fact is that he constantly criticized and unflatteringly spoke about law enforcement agencies. What is only one of his last works - "Country of Scoundrels." In it, the poet expressed all that he thought, and therefore he attracted the interest of special organs, headed by Trotsky. After that Yesenin began to drink more and more often. He was accused of immoral acts, and he could not get out of depression, because he understood that he was constantly being watched. Sergei was the man who grew up free and did not understand, for which he, in fact, is put in a cage, constantly monitored and tortured. For him it was unbearable. In order to somehow come to himself, Sergei even married Tolstoy's granddaughter, but this marriage was completely unsuccessful. At the end of 1925 Yesenin was placed in a neurological clinic. But he did not stay there for a long time, because he felt and understood that he was being watched. Sergei moved to Leningrad, and soon the country was struck by the terrible thought of the suicide of a young poet. It is still unknown what really happened on the night of December 28, 1925. At the end of the eighties, a commission was assembled, which precisely established that Yesenin had killed himself. But why, then, many of his actions, words and letters nevertheless suggest that the poet did not want to die as much as someone else wanted. But, in any case, that night Esenina was gone, and on the table there was a sheet with a poem written in blood.
