The first publication of Yesenin dates back to the beginning of the year, when in the first issue of the Children's magazine "Mirok" under the pseudonym "Ariston" the poem "Birch" was published.
Before the First World War, individual poetry poetry appeared in other children's magazines, as well as in the Bolshevik newspaper The Path of Pravda. Soon Yesenin expanded the subject, in his singing lines the motives of the rebellion of Martha Posadnitsa, Council, reflections on the fate of the people of Mikola, sounded in his singing lines.

The singing call ”,“ Oktoy ”,“ coming ”, etc., and others. All the former canons of Yesenin turned to dust. The “cow” saved him to replace him. This led to a sharp exacerbation, and soon to the breakdown of relations with N. in the spring of the year, Yesenin again moved to Moscow, where he was actively printed. The latter was important as the presentation of the Yesenin's view of art, and, in fact, became the manifesto of the imaginists - a new literary trend that proclaimed the championship of a verbal image, metaphors over the idea.

Yesenin plunged into the folk element, God -fighting, a whirlpool of images, but the bitterness of loss appeared through this passionate avalaxa.
The growing gap between the “departing” and “new Russia” gave the poet’s creativity a tragic shade. The fear of soullessness and violence appeared in the poem of the year “Sorokoust”. The theme of despair was intensified from the poet’s unsettled personal life, from protracted pursuits, from disappointment with a revolution, but even on his gloomy days, Yesenin remained a great poet - confirmation of this is the stunning lyrics of “Moscow Kabatsky” and “Black Man”.

Yesenin left the hospital twice and immediately went into a binge, he was returned in a state of white fever. In Leningrad, the poet again went into a binge, and on the night of December 28 came a denouement.
Left alone, Yesenin locked himself in the room, drank beer and wrote blood to a brief farewell poem “Goodbye, my friend, goodbye ...” Then the poet built a scaffold from the furniture to get to the steam heating pipe under the ceiling, threw a rope removed from the suitcase through it, and went into a different world.
