In 1912 he graduated from the Spas-Klepikovskaya teacher's school with a degree in literacy school teacher.
In the summer of 1912, Yesenin moved to Moscow and for some time served in a butcher shop, where his father worked as a clerk. After a conflict with his father, he left the shop and worked in book publishing, then in the printing house of Ivan Sytin in 1912-1914. During this period, the poet joined the revolutionary-minded workers and found himself under police surveillance.
In 1913-1915, Yesenin was a volunteer student at the historical and philosophical department of the Moscow City People's University named after A.L. Shanyavsky. In Moscow, he became close to writers from the Surikov literary and musical circle - an association of self-taught writers from the people.
Sergei Yesenin wrote poetry since childhood, mainly in imitation of Alexei Koltsov, Ivan Nikitin, Spiridon Drozhzhin. By 1912, he had already written the poem “The Legend of Evpatiy Kolovrat, of Khan Batu, the Flower of the Three Hands, of the Black Idol and Our Savior Jesus Christ,” and also prepared a book of poems “Sick Thoughts.” In 1913, the poet worked on the poem "Tosca" and the dramatic poem "The Prophet", the texts of which are unknown.
In January 1914 in Moscow children's magazine"Mirok" under the pseudonym "Ariston" the first publication of the poet took place - the poem "Birch". In February, the same magazine published the poems "Sparrows" ("Winter Sings and Calls...") and "Powder", later - "Village", "Easter Annunciation".
In the spring of 1915, Yesenin arrived in Petrograd (St. Petersburg), where he met the poets Alexander Blok, Sergei Gorodetsky, Alexei Remizov, and became close to Nikolai Klyuev, who had a significant influence on him. Their joint performances with poems and ditties, stylized in a “peasant”, “folk” style, were a great success.
In 1916, Yesenin’s first collection of poems, “Radunitsa,” was published, enthusiastically received by critics, who discovered in it a fresh spirit, youthful spontaneity and the author’s natural taste.
From March 1916 to March 1917 Yesenin passed military service- initially in the reserve battalion located in St. Petersburg, and then from April he served as an orderly of the Tsarskoye Selo military ambulance train No. 143. After February Revolution left the army without permission.
Yesenin moved to Moscow. Having greeted the revolution with enthusiasm, he wrote several short poems - “The Jordan Dove”, “Inonia”, “Heavenly Drummer” - imbued with a joyful anticipation of the “transformation” of life.
In 1919-1921 he was part of a group of imagists who stated that the purpose of creativity was to create an image.
In the early 1920s, Yesenin’s poems featured motifs of “storm-ravaged everyday life,” drunken prowess, giving way to hysterical melancholy, which was reflected in the collections “Confession of a Hooligan” (1921) and “Moscow Tavern” (1924).
An event in Yesenin’s life was a meeting in the fall of 1921 with the American dancer Isadora Duncan, who six months later became his wife.
From 1922 to 1923, they traveled around Europe (Germany, Belgium, France, Italy) and America, but upon returning to Russia, Isadora and Yesenin separated almost immediately.
In the 1920s, Yesenin's most significant works were created, which brought him fame as one of the best Russian poets - poems
“The golden grove dissuaded me…”, “Letter to my mother”, “Now we are leaving little by little...”, cycle “ Persian motifs", the poem "Anna Snegina", etc. The theme of the Motherland, which occupied one of the main places of his work, acquired dramatic shades during this period. The once united harmonious world of Yesenin's Russia split into two: "Soviet Russia" - "Leaving Rus'". In the collections "Rus" Soviet" and "Soviet Country" (both - 1925) Yesenin felt like a singer of a "golden log hut", whose poetry "is no longer needed here." The emotional dominant of the lyrics were autumn landscapes, motives for summing up, and farewells.
The last two years of the poet’s life were spent traveling: he traveled to the Caucasus three times, went to Leningrad (St. Petersburg) several times, and to Konstantinovo seven times.
At the end of November 1925, the poet was admitted to a psychoneurological clinic. One of latest works Yesenin's poem "The Black Man", in which the past life appears as part of a nightmare. Having interrupted the course of treatment, Yesenin left for Leningrad on December 23.
On December 24, 1925, he stayed at the Angleterre Hotel, where on December 27 he wrote his last poem, “Goodbye, my friend, goodbye...”.
On the night of December 28, 1925, by official version, Sergei Yesenin committed suicide. The poet was discovered on the morning of December 28. His body hung in a noose on water pipe right under the ceiling, at a height of almost three meters.
No serious investigation was carried out, the city authorities from the local police officer.
A special commission created in 1993 did not confirm versions of circumstances other than the official one about the poet’s death.
Sergei Yesenin is buried in Moscow at the Vagankovskoye cemetery.
The poet was married several times. In 1917, he married Zinaida Reich (1897-1939), secretary-typist of the newspaper Delo Naroda. From this marriage a daughter, Tatyana (1918-1992), and a son, Konstantin (1920-1986), were born. In 1922, Yesenin married the American dancer Isadora Duncan. In 1925, the poet’s wife was Sofia Tolstaya (1900-1957), the granddaughter of the writer Leo Tolstoy. The poet had a son, Yuri (1914-1938), from a civil marriage with Anna Izryadnova. In 1924, Yesenin had a son, Alexander, from the poet and translator Nadezhda Volpin, a mathematician and activist in the dissident movement, who moved to the United States in 1972.

Sergei Yesenin, the biography of the Russian poet is briefly outlined in this article.
Sergei Yesenin short biography
Born in 1895, September 21, in the Ryazan province into a peasant family. From 1904 to 1912 he studied at the Konstantinovsky Zemstvo School and at the Spas-Klepikovsky School. During this time, he wrote more than 30 poems and compiled a handwritten collection “Sick Thoughts” (1912), which he tried to publish in Ryazan. “Birch” is the first published poem by S. Yesenin. From the very first verses, Yesenin’s poetry includes themes of homeland and revolution.
Since 1912 he has lived in Moscow, working in a shop, then in Sytin’s printing house. Studied at the historical and philosophical department of the Moscow City People's University. Shanyavsky, did not finish. At the end of 1913, he became close to the Surikov literary and musical circle and was elected to the editorial commission. Since 1914, he has published poems in children's magazines Mirok, Protalinka, and Good Morning.
In 1915, Yesenin came to Petrograd, met with Blok, who appreciated the poems of the “talented peasant poet-nugget”, helped him, introduced him to writers and publishers. In the fall of 1915, he became a member of the literary group “Krasa” and the literary and artistic society “Strada”.
At the beginning of 1916, the first book “Radunitsa” was published, which made him famous. Yesenin begins to often speak with his poems to the public, including to Empress Alexandra Feodorovna in Tsarskoe Selo. Next works published in Socialist Revolutionary magazines, among them the poems “Transfiguration”, “Inonia” and others. In March 1918, the poet returned to Moscow and joined the group of imagists.
From 1919 to 1921 he travels to the Caucasus, travels to the Crimea, Murmansk, Solovki, through the Orenburg steppes to Tashkent. At the same time, Yesenin is working on the poem “Pugachev”.
Having married the American dancer Isadora Duncan, from May 1922 to August 1923 Yesenin lived abroad: in Germany, Belgium, France, Italy, and the USA. From a trip abroad he brought the collection “Moscow Tavern,” which was published in 1924. Impressions of traveling around Europe and the USA were reflected in Yesenin’s prosaic experience “Iron Mirgorod”
Was born Sergey Yesenin October 3, 1895 in the village of Konstantinovo, in the Ryazan region, in a family of wealthy peasants. While his father and mother were at work, Seryozha grew up in the house of his grandparents. It was the grandmother, according to the poet, who predetermined his future literary path. She knew a lot of fairy tales, songs, ditties - simple, even common Russian speech had a significant impact on Yesenin’s work.
The early years of the future poet
In 1904, Seryozha entered the Konstantinovsky Zemstvo School to study, and then continued his studies at the church teacher’s school. In 1912, Yesenin went to Moscow to earn money. In Sytin’s printing house, Sergei works as an assistant proofreader: this occupation allows Yesenin to read a lot of books, during these years the future poet was literally absorbed in reading.
In 1913, Yesenin became a volunteer student at the Moscow People's University. Shanyavsky. A year later, having given up his studies and work, Sergei literally devoted himself entirely to poetry. In 1914, the Mirok magazine published the poet Yesenin for the first time.
The making of a poet
In 1915, young Sergei Yesenin arrives in Petrograd, he manages to get to Alexander Blok himself, who introduces him to fellow poets. So the peasant talent finds himself “at home” in the literary environment of Petrograd and soon publishes a collection of poems “Radunitsa”. In 1916, Yesenin was called up for military service, but Sergei Alexandrovich, one might say, did not get to the front. The poet was saved from possible death by the patronage of the Empress, who was a fan of Yesenin’s talent.
In 1918, Yesenin’s second book, “Dove,” was published. In the same year, the already widely known poet moved to Moscow, which became the new literary center of Russia.
20s, Moscow period of Yesenin’s work
In Moscow, Yesenin's fame reaches its apogee. The poet joins the Moscow group of imagists, publishes the collections “Treryadnitsa”, “Confession of a Hooligan”, “Poems of a Brawler”, “Moscow Kabatskaya”, and the poem “Pugachev”.
Yesenin travels a lot around the country: visits the Urals, Orenburg region, Central Asia, and the Caucasus. A hasty marriage with the American dancer Isadora Duncan allowed the poet to visit Europe and the States.
In the book “Land of Scoundrels,” the poet speaks quite critically about Soviet leaders, which provokes a response from security forces. Accusatory articles about the rowdy and drunkard Yesenin are increasingly appearing in newspapers. This depresses the poet, but he finds the strength to continue creating. In 1925, the writer experienced a great creative upsurge, wrote a lot and tirelessly.
However, the song of the Russian nightingale ends abruptly and unexpectedly: on December 28, 1925, Sergei Alexandrovich is found dead in the Leningrad Angleterre Hotel. Until now, the circumstances of the poet’s death have not been clarified.
If this message was useful to you, I would be glad to see you
Dedicated to Sergei Yesenin's birthday. He went from a cherubic village boy to the most famous rowdy and foul-mouthed man in Russia. At the performances of the blue-eyed shepherd, who read something about the simple joys of rural life, the girls squealed in unison: “Dear Yesenin!” Mayakovsky called the early Yesenin a “decorative peasant”, too sweet, insincere, and his poems - “revived lamp oil”. But “bast shoes and cockerel combs” did not occupy the poet for long. And there was little angelic left in him: he wrote obscene poems on the wall of the Passionate Monastery and, having split an icon, could heat a samovar with it, and could easily light a cigarette from a lamp. His behavior was invariably found defiant, shocking, and shocking. His poems are a special page of Russian poetry. Yesenin cannot be driven into the narrow framework of literary movements of the early twentieth century; he is on his own, rebellious, passionate, with a huge Russian soul wide open. This is probably why the poetry of Sergei Yesenin leaves no one indifferent: they either adore it or refuse to accept and understand it. October 3 marked the 119th anniversary of the birth of the great Russian poet. By this date, Bright Side collected interesting stories from Yesenin’s life and his most famous photographs.

Yesenin's education
The famous poet could become a teacher: Sergei Yesenin graduated with honors from the Konstantinovsky Zemstvo School in 1909, then entered the church teacher’s school, but after studying for a year and a half, he left it - the teaching profession had little attraction for him. Already in Moscow, in September 1913, Yesenin began to attend the Shanyavsky People's University. A year and a half of university gave Yesenin the foundation of education that he so lacked. Subsequently, the poet educated himself, read a lot and was known for his erudition. Sergei Yesenin and Anna Izryadnova among the workers of the printing house of the I.D. Sytin Partnership
The first Moscow muse
When Yesenin arrived in Moscow, he was only seventeen years old. He had one goal: to become the most famous poet in Russia. A year later, he fell madly in love with Anna Izryadnova, who worked with him as a proofreader in a printing house. From the first days, a civil marriage with Anna seemed to the poet a mistake. At this point, he was more concerned about his career. He left his family and went to seek his fortune in Petrograd. In her memoirs, Izryadnova writes: “I saw him shortly before his death. He came, he said, to say goodbye. When I asked why, he said: “I’m washing away, I’m leaving, I feel bad, I’ll probably die.” I asked him not to spoil him, to take care of his son.” The fate of Yuri, the son of Sergei and Anna, was tragic: on August 13, 1937, he was shot on charges of preparing to assassinate Stalin.

Yesenin and paper
In 1918, the publishing house “Labor Artel of Word Artists” was organized in Moscow. It was organized by Sergei Klychkov, Sergei Yesenin, Andrei Bely, Pyotr Oreshin and Lev Povitsky. I wanted to publish my books, but paper in Moscow was strictly controlled. Yesenin nevertheless volunteered to get the paper. He put on a long-skirted undershirt, combed his hair in a peasant style and went to see the member on duty of the Presidium of the Moscow Soviet. Yesenin stood in front of him without a hat, began to bow and, diligently cursing, asked “For the sake of Christ, do God’s mercy and release papers for peasant poets.” For such an important purpose, paper, of course, was found, and the first book of Yesenin’s poems “Radunitsa” was published. "Artel", however, soon disbanded, but managed to publish several books. Yesenin reads poetry to his mother
“Being a poet means the same thing, If you don’t violate the truths of life, Scar yourself on your delicate skin, Caress other people’s souls with the blood of feelings.” Reading poetry
At the end of 1918, Yesenin lived for several weeks in Tula, fleeing the Moscow famine. Every evening, an educated public gathered in the house where he lived, and Yesenin read his poems, which he remembered by heart - every single one. Yesenin accompanied his recitation with very expressive gestures, which gave his poems additional expressiveness and strength. Sometimes Yesenin imitated Blok and Bely. He read Blok's poems seriously and with respect, and Bely's poems with mockery, parodying him. Zinaida Reich
“You remember, you all, of course, remember how I stood, approaching the wall, you walked around the room excitedly and threw something sharp at my face. You said: It’s time for us to part, That you’ve been tormented by My crazy life, That it’s time for you to get down to business, And my destiny is to roll on, down. Darling! You didn't love me. You didn’t know that in the crowd of people I was like a horse driven into the soap, spurred by a brave rider.” Beautiful Zinaida
One of the most beautiful women in Yesenin’s life there was Zinaida Reich, a famous actress. She was so pretty that the poet simply could not help but propose to her. They got married in 1917, Zinaida gave birth to two children - Tatyana and Konstantin, but Yesenin was never distinguished by fidelity. Reich endured for three years, then they broke up. The most famous poem about her is “Letter to a Woman.” Sergei Yesenin and imagist Anatoly Mariengof
Yesenin's fears
Sergei Yesenin suffered from syphilophobia - the fear of contracting syphilis. The poet’s friend Anatoly Mariengof said: “It used to be that a pimple the size of a bread crumb would pop up on his nose, and he would walk from mirror to mirror looking stern and gloomy. Once I even went to the library to read the signs of a terrible illness. After that it got even worse, almost like the corolla of Venus!” But the police caused no less fear in Yesenin. One day, while walking with Wolf Ehrlich Summer Garden, the poet noticed a law enforcement officer standing at the gate. “He suddenly grabs me by the shoulders so that he himself faces the sunset, and I see his yellowed eyes, full of incomprehensible fear. He breathes heavily and wheezes: “Listen, eh!” Just don't say a word to anyone! I'll tell you the truth! I'm afraid of the police. Understand? I’m afraid!..”,” Ehrlich recalled. Isadora Duncan and Yesenin
“Sing, sing. On the damned guitar, your fingers dance in a semicircle. I would choke in this frenzy, My last, only friend. Don't look at her wrists and the flowing silk from her shoulders. I was looking for happiness in this woman, but I accidentally found death. I didn't know that love was an infection, I didn't know that love was a plague. She came up and drove the Hooligan crazy with her squinted eye.” Isadora
In the early 20s, Yesenin led an idle life: he drank, made scandals in taverns, and was easy about casual relationships, until he met her - the famous American dancer Isadora Duncan. Duncan was 18 years older than the poet, did not know Russian, and Yesenin did not speak English. They got married six months after they met. When they were asked what surname they would choose, both wanted to have a double surname - Duncan-Yesenin. This is what was written down on the marriage certificate and in their passports. “Now I am Duncan,” Yesenin shouted when they went outside. This page of Sergei Yesenin’s life is the most chaotic, with endless quarrels and scandals. They diverged and came back together many times, but in the end they were never able to overcome the “mutual understanding.” It is this passion that the poem “Rash, Harmonica!” is dedicated to. Boredom... Boredom...” Isadora died tragically two years after Yesenin’s death, strangling herself with her own scarf. Yesenin and Mayakovsky
“Oh, rash, oh, heat, Mayakovsky is a mediocrity. Face painted with paint, Robbed Whitman." Eternal enemies
The myth of mutual hatred between Sergei Yesenin and Vladimir Mayakovsky is one of the most famous literary movements of the 20th century in the history. The poets were indeed irreconcilable ideological opponents and public speaking were ready to endlessly throw mud at each other. However, this does not mean that one of them underestimated the strength of the other's talent. Contemporaries confirm that Yesenin understood the significance of Mayakovsky’s work and singled him out from all the futurists: “Whatever you say, you can’t throw Mayakovsky out. It will lie like a log in literature, and many will stumble over it.” The poet repeatedly read excerpts from Mayakovsky’s poems; in particular, he liked the poems about the war “Mother and the Evening Killed by the Germans” and “War Has Been Declared.” In turn, Mayakovsky also had a high opinion of Yesenin, although he hid it with all possible care. The famous memoirist M. Roizman recalls that once, having come to a reception with the editor of Novy Mir, “I sat in the reception room and heard Mayakovsky loudly praising Yesenin’s poems in the secretariat, and in conclusion said: “Look, not a word to Yesenin about what did I say? The assessment that Mayakovsky gave to Yesenin was unequivocal: “Damn talented!” Yesenin on the beach in Venice
Yesenin very accurately noted about himself: “A bad reputation has spread that I am a bawdy and a brawler.” This statement was true, since the poet, in a drunken stupor, loved to entertain the audience with compositions of very obscene content. According to the recollections of eyewitnesses, Yesenin almost never wrote down obscene poems; they were born to him spontaneously and were immediately forgotten. Yesenin had quite a lot of similar momentary poems. For example, his authorship is attributed to the poem “Don’t grieve, dear, and don’t groan,” in which the poet calls on his enemies to go to a well-known address, forestalling their desire to send Yesenin himself to hell. Sergei Yesenin and Sofia Tolstaya 
“Apparently, it’s been like this forever - By the age of thirty, having become more and more enraged, hardened cripples, We keep in touch with life. Darling, I will soon be thirty, and the earth becomes dearer to me every day. That’s why my heart began to dream that I was burning with pink fire. If it burns, then it burns, and it’s not for nothing that I took out a ring from a parrot in a linden blossom - A sign that we will burn together. The gypsy woman put that ring on me. Taking it off my hand, I gave it to you, And now, when the barrel organ is sad, I can’t help but think, not be shy.” Last wife
At the beginning of 1925, Sergei Yesenin met the granddaughter of Leo Tolstoy, Sophia. She was 5 years younger than Yesenin, and the blood of the world’s greatest writer flowed in her veins. Sofya Andreevna was in charge of the library of the Writers' Union. The poet was afraid of her aristocracy until his knees trembled. When they got married, Sophia became an exemplary wife: she took care of his health, prepared his poems for his collected works. And I was absolutely happy. And Yesenin, having met a friend, answered the question: “How is life?” - “I’m preparing a collection of works in three volumes and living with an unloved woman.” The unloved Sophia was to become the widow of a scandalous poet. Posthumous photo of Sergei Yesenin
“Goodbye, my friend, goodbye. My dear, you are in my chest. Destined parting Promises a meeting ahead. Goodbye, my friend, without a hand, without a word, Don’t be sad and don’t have sad eyebrows, - In this life, dying is not new, But living, of course, is not new.” Death of poet
On December 28, 1925, Yesenin was found dead in the Leningrad Angleterre Hotel. His last poem, “Goodbye, my friend, goodbye...”, according to Wolf Ehrlich, was given to him the day before: Yesenin complained that there was no ink in the room, and he was forced to write with his own blood. The mystery of the poet's death still remains unsolved. The official generally accepted version is suicide, but there is an assumption that Yesenin was actually killed for political reasons, and the suicide was only staged.“You need to live easier”
And yet Yesenin is not a tragic poet. His poems are a hymn to life in all its manifestations. A hymn to a life that is unpredictable, difficult, full of disappointments, but still beautiful. This is the anthem of a hooligan and brawler, an eternal boy and a great sage.S.A.

His most best works perfectly describe the beauty and charm of the Russian people and each person individually. He was recognized as the finest lyricist of the time and a true wizard of Russian landscapes.
For a long time it was believed that in a state of severe depression, the poet committed suicide, but at the end of the 20th century a new version. There was talk of killing the poet and then staging a suicide. The great Russian poet passed away in 1925.
