Sergey Yesenin Biography Wikipedia

Returning to Petrograd, Sergey Yesenin became a member of the association of peasant writers “Beauty”. Together with its participants, the poet first performed at an open literary evening. According to Gorodetsky, it was the "first public success of Yesenin." Soon, the “beauty” broke up, and Sergey Yesenin moved to the literary and art society “Suffeur”. Despite the great success, he barely made ends meet: the performances brought almost nothing.

The poetry of Sergei Yesenin in the year was the first collection - “Radunitsa”. Yesenin was talked about as an original poet of lyrics, an artist of “marvelous colors”, a creator who has a future. The poet himself wrote: “My poems made a great impression.

All the best magazines of that time began to print me, and in the fall my first book “Radunitsa” appeared in the fall. They wrote a lot about her. Everyone unanimously said that I was talent. I knew it better than others. " Soon after the release of Yesenin’s book, they drafted into the army. With his patronage, Loman hoped to bring Yesenin closer to himself and make him a court poet.

However, this calculation was not justified. The poet himself admitted that "the first period of the revolution met sympathetically, but more spontaneously than consciously." In March, Yesenin arrived in Moscow. Despite the fact that Sergei Yesenin enthusiastically accepted the October Revolution, he was seriously experiencing a breakdown of peasant life. These sad, nostalgic sentiments formed the basis of the poem "Sorokoust".

The main idea of ​​this literary direction was the independence of the image of Latin Imago from reality. In the year, poets published a declaration of imag forces. They described the main point of the program as follows: “The image is as an end in itself. The word requires liberation from the idea. The ideas of the Imazhinists sounded provocatively, but not fresh: the decadents promoted the liberation of poetry from meaning even before the revolution.

Yesenin was quickly convinced of the insolvency of the new program, and its main provisions later criticized in the article “Household and Art”. However, Yesenin failed to break relations with the Imazhinists - he was too accustomed to constant joint kateja. The rampant way of life was reflected in the work of the poet: he created the cycle of poems “Moscow Kabatskaya”.

The cheerfulness and rustic sketches disappeared from the lyrics, the gloomy landscapes of the night city were replaced, where the lost lyrical hero wanders. Everyday life oppressed the poet: “I somehow live in a bivouic,” he complained in one of the letters, “without a shelter and without a haven, because different loafers began to go home and bother. They see them, it's nice to drink with me!

I don’t even know how to get rid of such headlights, but it became ashamed and sorry to burn yourself. ” Yesenin found a way out of this situation in his work. On the trip, the poet finished the poem and was able to distract. The public accepted the new work cordially. In the spring of the year, Sergei Yesenin went abroad. The poet’s impressions of the foreign trip were contradictory.

In his letters, he noted external beauty - "After our devastation, everything is tidied up and ironed under the iron." But at the same time, he did not feel spirituality in this: “I have not yet met a person and I don’t know where it smells. On the trip, Yesenin continued to work. Together they not only worked, but studied at the University of Shanyavsky. Soon they have a romance.

I fairly recalled: “I was very attached to me, read poetry. He was terrible, not even ordered to talk with women - "they are bad." He had a decadent mood - he is a poet, no one wants to understand him, the editors do not take him in a seal, his father is a jewit ... he spent all the salary on books, magazines, did not think at all how to live. " A few months after acquaintance, Yesenin and Izdronov began to live together.

Yesenin was almost immediately disappointed in family life: he saw his purpose in literature and poetic success. I fairly felt like an obstacle: "Yesenin had to get a lot of spent with me, we lived only together." In the year, their son Yuri was born, and Yesenin left Anna. They met in the spring of the year. By that time, Yesenin was already a famous poet, and she worked as a prior secretary in the newspaper “The People of the People”.

Family life did not get along again, and the poet left Reich. Officially, they divorced only in the year. In the marriage of Yesenins, two children were born - Tatyana's daughter and son Konstantin. The American dancer came to the country on tour. The feelings between the poet and the artist flashed almost immediately. In the year, Sergey Yesenin and Isadora Duncan got married.

He himself planned to conduct creative propaganda of his homeland abroad. Friends of the poet said: "I am going to the west in order to show the West what Russian poet is." The authorities promised to establish in Berlin a publishing house of books of Russian poets, and in America - to resolve relations between the Soviet state and the States. The couple returned to the Soviet Union in the year, and soon the couple broke up.

Yesenin and Duncan shared a lot: the age difference was 17 years older than the poet, a language barrier, the difference in worldview. General comrade Sergei Konenkov wrote: “Duncan was a bright, unusual figure.She gave Yesenin a lot, but even more took away moral and mental strength from him. ” Sergei Yesenin “always weighed a family disorder, the lack of her corner,” wrote the poet’s sister Alexander.

This feeling did not leave a writer with a new relationship. A few months later they got married. But this marriage did not make Yesenin happy: “Everything that I hoped for, what I dreamed about is going to dust. Apparently, in Moscow I can’t settle down. Family life does not glue, I want to run. " With Sophia Tolstoy, the poet divorced after six months of life together. The disease and death of Sergei Yesenin to his homeland returned only a year later.

He said goodbye to all the literary areas, to which he once ranked himself, and said: "I am not a peasant poet and not an imaginist, I am just a poet."
