Sergey Yesenin. The name of the great Russian poet - a connoisseur of the folk soul, a singer of peasant Russia, is familiar to every person, poems have long become Russian classics, and admirers of his work gather on Sergei Yesenin's birthday.

early years

On September 21, 1895, in the village of Konstantinovo, Ryazan province, Sergei Alexandrovich Yesenin was born, an outstanding Russian poet with a tragic but very eventful fate. Three days later he was baptized in the local church of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God. Father and mother were of peasant origin. Their marriage union from the very beginning took shape, to put it mildly, not very much, more precisely, they were completely different people.

Almost immediately after the wedding, Alexander Yesenin (the poet's father) returned to Moscow, where he began to work in a butcher's shop. Sergei's mother, in turn, not getting along with her husband's relatives, returned to his father's house, in which he spent the first years of his life. It was his maternal grandfather and grandmother who pushed him to write his first poems, because after the father of the young poet, his mother, who left to work in Ryazan, also left. Yesenin's grandfather was a well-read and educated person, knew many church books, and his grandmother had extensive knowledge in the field of folklore, which had a beneficial effect on the early education of the young man.

Training

In September 1904, Sergei entered the Konstantinovsky Zemstvo School, where he studied for 5 years, although the training was supposed to last a year less. This was due to the poor behavior of young Seryozha in the third grade. During his studies, he returns with his mother to his father's house. After graduating from college, the future poet receives a certificate of commendation.

In the same year, he successfully passed the exams for admission to the parish teacher's school in the village of Spas-Klepiki in his native province. During his studies, Sergei settled there, coming to Konstantinovskoye only during vacation time. It was at the school for training rural teachers that Sergei Alexandrovich began to write poetry regularly. The first works date back to early December 1910. For a week there are: "The onset of spring", "Autumn", "Winter", "To friends". By the end of the year, Yesenin manages to write a whole series of poems.

In 1912 he graduated from school and received a diploma in the specialty "school teacher of literacy".

Moving to Moscow

After leaving school, Sergei Alexandrovich leaves his native land and moves to Moscow. There he gets a job at Krylov's butcher's. He begins to live in the same house as his father, on Bolshoy Strochenovsky Lane, now the Yesenin Museum is located here. At first, Yesenin's father was happy with his son's arrival, sincerely hoping that he would become a support for him and help him in everything, but after working for a while in the shop, Sergei told his father that he wanted to become a poet and was starting to look for a job to his liking.

First, he distributes the social democratic magazine Ogni, with the intention of being published in it, but these plans were not destined to come true, since the magazine was soon closed. After that, he gets a job as an assistant proofreader in the printing house of I.D. Sytin. It was here that Yesenin met Anna Izryadnova, who would later become his first civilian wife. Almost simultaneously with this, he enters the Moscow City People's University. Shanyavsky on the historical and philological cycle, but almost immediately throws him. Working in the printing house allowed the young poet to read many books, made it possible to become a member of the literary and musical Surikov circle.

The poet's first common-law wife, Anna Izryadnova, describes Yesenin in those years:

He was known as an advanced leader, attended meetings, distributed illegal literature. I pounced on books, read all my free time, spent all my salary on books, magazines, did not think at all how to live ...

The heyday of the poet's career

At the beginning of 1914, the first known material of Yesenin was published in the Mirok magazine. The verse "Birch" was published. In February, the magazine publishes a number of his poems. In May of the same year, Yesenin began to publish the Bolshevik newspaper "Path of Truth".

In September, the poet again changes his place of work, this time he becomes a proofreader in the trading house "Chernyshev and Kobelkov". In October, the magazine "Protalinka" published the poem "Mother's Prayer" dedicated to the First World War. At the end of the year, Yesenin and Izryadnova give birth to their first and only child, Yuri.

Unfortunately, his life would end early enough, in 1937 Yuri was shot, and as it turned out later, on false accusations brought against him.

After the birth of his son, Sergei Alexandrovich leaves his job in a trading house.

At the beginning of the 15th year, Yesenin continues to actively publish in the magazines "Friend of the People", "Mirok" and others. He works as a secretary in a literary and musical circle for free, after which he becomes a member of the editorial commission, but leaves it due to disagreements with other members of the commission on the selection of materials for the magazine "Friend of the People". In February, his first known article on literary topics, "The Yaroslavs are Crying", was published in the magazine "Women's Life".

In March of the same year, during a trip to Petrograd, Yesenin meets Alexander Blok, to whom he reads his poems in his apartment. After that, he actively acquaints many famous and respected people of that time with his work, at the same time tying up profitable acquaintances with them, among them A.A. Dobrovolsky, V.A. Rozhdestvensky. Sologub F.K. and many others. As a result, Yesenin's poems were published in a number of magazines, which contributed to the growth of his popularity.

In 1916, Sergei entered military service and in the same year publishes a collection of poems "Radunitsa", which makes him famous. The poet was invited to speak before the empress in Tsarskoe Selo. At one of these performances, she gives him a gold watch with a chain on which the state emblem was depicted.

Zinaida Reich

In 1917, while in the editorial office of "Delo Narodu", Yesenin met the assistant secretary - Zinaida Reich, a woman of a very good mind, who spoke several languages \u200b\u200band typescript. Love between them did not arise at first sight. It all started with walking around Petrograd with their mutual friend Alexei Ganin. Initially, they were competitors and at some point the comrade was even considered a favorite, until Yesenin confessed his love to Zinaida, after a short hesitation, she reciprocated, and it was immediately decided to get married.

At that moment, young people were experiencing serious financial problems. They solved the problem of money with the help of Reich's parents, sending them a telegram asking them to send them funds for the wedding. The money was received without any questions. The young people got married in a small church, Yesenin picked wild flowers and made a wedding bouquet out of them. Their friend Ganin was a witness.

However, from the very beginning, their marriage went wrong, on their wedding night Yesenin learns that his beloved wife was not innocent, and had already shared a bed with someone before him. This very much touched the poet for a living. At that moment, blood leaped in Sergei, and a deep resentment settled in his heart. After returning to Petrograd, they began to live separately, and only two weeks later, after a trip to her parents, they began to live together.

Perhaps, reinsuring, Yesenin makes his wife leave her job from the editorial office, and like any woman of that time, she had to obey, since by that time the family's financial situation had improved, because Sergei Alexandrovich had already become a famous poet with good fees. And Zinaida decided to get a job at the People's Commissariat as a typist.

For some time, a family idyll was established between the spouses. There were many guests in their house, Sergei arranged receptions for them, he really liked the role of a respectable owner. But it was at this moment that problems began to appear that greatly changed the poet. He was overcome by jealousy, and alcohol problems were added to this. Once he, having discovered a gift from an unknown admirer, made a scandal, while obscenely insulting Zinaida, later they made up, but the old relationship could not be returned. Their quarrels began to occur more and more often, with mutual insults.

After the family moved to Moscow, the problems did not go away, but on the contrary intensified, that homeliness, friends who supported, instead of four walls of a seedy hotel room disappeared. To all this was added a quarrel with his wife about the birth of children, after which she decided to leave the capital and go to Oryol to her parents. Yesenin drowned out the bitterness of parting with alcohol.

In the summer of 1918, their daughter was born, who was named Tatiana. But the birth of a child did not contribute to the strengthening of relations between Yesenin and Reich. Due to rare meetings, the girl was not at all attached to her father, and in this he saw the "intrigues" of the mother. Sergei Alexandrovich himself believed that his marriage had already ended, but officially it lasted for several more years. In 1919, the poet made attempts to renew relations and even sent money to Zinaida.

Reich decided to return to the capital, but the relationship again did not go well. Then Zinaida decided to take everything into her own hands and, without the consent of her husband, give birth to her second child. This was a fatal mistake. In February 1920, they had a son, but not at birth, nor after them, the poet was not present. The name of the boy is chosen during a telephone conversation, they stop at Constantine. Yesenin met his son on the train when he and Reich accidentally crossed paths in one of the cities. In 1921, their marriage was officially dissolved.

Imagism

In 1918, Yesenin met Anatoly Mariengof, one of the founders of Imagism. Over time, the poet will join this movement. During the period of passion for this direction, he will write a number of collections, including "Tresryadnitsa", "Poems of a Brawler", "Confession of a Hooligan", "Moscow Tavern", as well as the poem "Pugachev".

Yesenin greatly helped the formation of Imagism in the literature of the Silver Age. Due to participation in the actions of the Imagists, he was arrested. At the same time, he had a conflict with Lunacharsky, who was dissatisfied with his work.

Isadora Duncan

Two days before receiving an official divorce from Zinaida Reich, at one of the evenings in the house of the artist Yakulov, Yesenin meets the famous dancer Isadora Duncan, who came to open her dance school in our country. She did not know Russian, her lexicon counted only a couple of dozen words, but this did not prevent the poet from falling in love with the dancer at first sight and receiving a passionate kiss from her on the same day.

By the way, Duncan was 18 years older than her boyfriend. But neither the language barrier nor the age difference prevented Yesenin from moving to the mansion on Prechistenka, where the dancer lived.

Soon, Duncan was no longer satisfied with the way her career in the Soviet Union was developing, and she decided to return to her homeland - to the United States. Isadora wanted Sergei to follow her, but bureaucratic procedures prevented this. Yesenin had problems obtaining a visa, and in order to get it, they decided to get married.

The wedding process itself took place in the Khamovnichesky registry office in Moscow. On the eve of this, Isadora asked to correct the year of her birth, so as not to embarrass her future husband, he agreed.

On May 2, a wedding ceremony took place, in the same month the couple left the Soviet Union and went on tour with Yesenina-Duncan (both spouses took this surname), first to Western Europe, after which they were to go to the USA.

The relationship of the newlyweds did not develop from the very beginning of the trip. Yesenin got used to a special attitude in Russia and to his popularity, and they immediately perceived him as the wife of the great dancer Duncan.

In Europe, the poet again has problems with alcohol and jealousy. Having drunk enough, Sergei began to insult his wife, roughly grabbing, sometimes beating. Once Isadora even had to call the police to calm down the raging Yesenin. Every time after quarrels and beatings, Duncan forgave Yesenin, but this not only did not cool his ardor, but, on the contrary, fueled him. The poet began to speak contemptuously about his wife among friends.

In August 1923, Yesenin and his wife returned to Moscow, but even then their relationship did not go well. And already in October, he sends Duncan a telegram about the final break of their relationship.

Last years and death

After parting with Isadora Duncan, Yesenin's life slowly rolled downhill. Regular alcohol consumption, nervous breakdowns caused by public persecution of the poet in the press, constant arrests and interrogations, all this greatly undermined the poet's health.

In November 1925, he was even admitted to the clinic of Moscow State University for patients with nervous disorders. Over the last 5 years of his life, 13 criminal cases were brought against Sergei Yesenin, some of which were fabricated, for example, charges of anti-Semitism, and the other part was related to hooliganism on alcohol grounds.

Yesenin's work during this period of his life became more philosophical, he rethinks many things. The poems of this time are filled with musicality and light. The death of his friend Alexander Shiryaevts in 1924 pushes us to see the good in simple things. Such changes help the poet to resolve the intrapersonal conflict.

Personal life was also far from ideal. After parting with Duncan, Yesenin settles with Galina Benislavskaya, who had feelings for the poet. Galina loved Sergei very much, but he did not appreciate it, he constantly drank, made scenes. Benislavskaya, however, forgave everything, every day she was nearby, pulled him out of various taverns, where drinking companions were drinking the poet at his own expense. But this union did not last long either. Having left for the Caucasus, Yesenin marries Tolstoy's granddaughter, Sophia. Having learned this, Benislavskaya goes to the physio-dietetic sanatorium. Semashko with a nervous breakdown. Subsequently, after the death of the poet, she committed suicide at his grave. In her suicide note, she wrote that Yesenin's grave contains all the dearest in her life.

In March 1925, Yesenin met Sophia Tolstaya (Leo Tolstoy's granddaughter) at one of the evenings in the house of Galina Benislavskaya, where many poets gathered. Sophia came with Boris Pilnyak and stayed there until late in the evening. Yesenin volunteered to see her off, but instead they walked for a long time in Moscow at night. After Sophia confessed that this meeting decided her fate and gave the greatest love of her life. She fell in love with him at first sight.

After this walk, Yesenin often began to appear in the Tolstoy house, and already in June 1925 he moved to Pomerantseviy lane to Sophia. Once, walking along one of the boulevards, they met a gypsy woman with a parrot, who guessed a wedding for them, while the parrot took out a copper ring during fortune-telling, Yesenin immediately presented it to Sophia. She was incredibly happy about this ring and wore it for the rest of her life.

On September 18, 1925, Sergei Alexandrovich concludes his last marriage, which will not last long. Sophia was happy as a little girl, Yesenin was also glad, boasting that he had married the granddaughter of Leo Tolstoy. But the relatives of Sofia Andreevna were not very happy with her choice. Immediately after the wedding, the poet's constant drinking binges, leaving home, spree and hospital continued, but Sophia fought for her beloved to the last.

In the fall of the same year, a long binge ended with Yesenin's hospitalization in a psychiatric hospital, where he spent a month. After his release, Tolstaya wrote to her relatives so that they would not condemn him, because in spite of everything she loves him, and he makes her happy.

After leaving the psychiatric hospital, Sergei leaves Moscow for Leningrad, where he settles in the Angleterre hotel. He meets with a number of writers, including Klyuev, Ustinov, Pribludny and others. And on the night of December 27-28, according to the official version of the investigation, he takes his own life by hanging himself on a central heating pipe with a rope. His suicide note read: "Goodbye, my friend, goodbye."

The investigating authorities refused to open a criminal case, citing the poet's depression. However, many experts, both of that time and contemporaries, are inclined to the version of Yesenin's violent death. These doubts arose due to an incorrectly drawn up act of inspection of the place of suicide. Independent experts found signs of a violent death on the body: scratches and cuts that were not taken into account.

When analyzing the documents of those years, other inconsistencies were found, for example, that one cannot hang oneself on a vertical pipe. The commission created in 1989, after conducting a serious investigation, came to the conclusion that the death of the poet was natural - from strangulation, refuting all the speculations that were very popular in the 70s in the Soviet Union.

After the autopsy, Yesenin's body was taken by train from Leningrad to Moscow, where on December 31, 1925, the poet was buried at the Vagankovsky cemetery. At the time of his death, he was only 30 years old. They said goodbye to Yesenin in the Moscow House of Press, thousands of people came there, even despite the December frosts. The grave is still there, and anyone can visit it.

The coming 2015 has been declared the Year of Literature in our country. During this period, many different events will take place throughout Russia. One of the most ambitious events will be the celebration of the 120th anniversary of the famous and beloved Russian poet S.A. Yesenin, which will be celebrated on October 3 (September 21) this year. Preparations for celebrations in the cultural institutions of the capital have already begun, and we, in turn, invite you to recall the history of Yesenin Moscow. In total, there are about 300 addresses in the capital where the poet lived, performed or visited. In our article we will tell you about some of them related to the main events in Yesenin's life.

The best thing that I have seen in this world is Moscow after all ...

S.A. Yesenin

The first and only official address of Sergei Yesenin in Moscow was house number 24 in Bolshoy Strochenovsky lane. Here in 1912 the young man came to his father, who for almost three decades served as a salesman in the merchant Krylov's butcher's shop. At the beginning of the 20th century, Krylov was the owner of four buildings. In a two-storey wooden house, built by the architect M. Medvedev in 1891, there was a "Hostel of lonely clerks in the possession of the merchant NV Krylov". Here on the ground floor, in apartment number 6, consisting of 3 rooms, the father of the future poet lived for many years. At first, Alexander Nikitich put his son in a shop as a clerk, but such a career turned out to be unattractive for the aspiring poet, and, after a short time, Sergei quit his job. After a while, he left his father's house, although until 1918 house number 24 in Bolshoy Strochenovsky Lane was officially considered Yesenin's place of residence.

In 1995, on the eve of the 100th anniversary of the poet's birth, a museum was opened in the house from which Yesenin's acquaintance with Moscow began. Today, there are exhibits covering all periods of Yesenin's life, from early youth to his tragic death, but most of the exhibition is devoted to the Moscow segment of his life and work. Of all the poets Silver Age Sergei Yesenin was most closely associated with Moscow - almost a third of his life passed here, the first poem was printed and most of his works were created.

For the talented young Yesenin, poetry and a butcher's shop turned out to be incompatible, and the young man began to look for a job more in line with the position of an aspiring poet. For a short time he worked in a bookstore at, then got a job at the printing house of the "ID Sytin Partnership" at. Here he hoped to publish his poems, and even the scanty salary of the sub-reader did not frighten the young man. The proofreader's employees did not immediately discern a talent in him. A short, proud, golden-haired boy, who was christened by the printing house as a "willow cherub", found understanding only from Anna Izryadnova. Yesenin read her poems to her, on weekends they attended classes at Shanyavsky University (the university was located at 6, since 1991 the building is occupied by the Russian State Humanitarian University), listened to lectures on poetry. At the beginning of 1914, young people entered into a civil marriage and rented an apartment near. In December, the young couple had a son, Yuri. Yesenin dedicated a small poem to his firstborn (not intended for publication). The son by birth was already considered a Muscovite, as the Ryazan guy, who recently began to conquer Moscow, proudly writes:

Be Yuri, Muscovite.

Live in the aukai forest.

And you will see your dream in reality.

A long time ago, your namesake Yuri Dolgoruky

I founded Moscow for you as a gift.

In September 1914, Yesenin took the place of a proofreader at the Chernyshev-Kobelkov printing house in (house number 10). By that time, he had already begun to publish. The famous poem "Birch", published in January 1914 in the children's magazine "Mirok", became Yesenin's first work to be published. Then his poems began to appear in other Moscow newspapers and magazines, but it seemed not enough. Shortly before the birth of his son, Yesenin decided to quit his job and devote himself only to poetry. Creativity was hampered not only by work: relations in the family did not develop. Dissatisfied with the literary opportunities in Moscow, leaving his wife and son, in March 1915 the young poet decided to move to Petrograd. He returned to Moscow three years later, but never returned to Anna Izryadnova. After the breakup, the spouses maintained friendly relations, Yesenin sometimes helped and visited Anna Romanovna in her apartment on.

In 1994, in a former communal apartment at Sivtsev Vrazhek, house number 44, apt. 14, where Izryadnova lived with her son Yuri, People's Artist of Russia S.P. Nikonenko created (A.R. Izryadnova Museum-Apartment). Yesenin's first common-law wife lived in this apartment for more than 20 years, his son grew up and was arrested here (shot in 1937), his mother came here in the 1930s, and, finally, the poet himself has been here several times. Before the fatal departure to Leningrad in 1925, as if anticipating trouble, Sergei Yesenin burned his drafts in the apartment of his ex-wife. Now in the Yesenin Center, along with an exhibition dedicated to the life and work of S. Yesenin, in a separate room there is an exposition telling about A.R. Izryadnova.

On July 30, 1917, S. Yesenin married Zinaida Reich. At first, the young people lived in Petrograd in Zinaida's apartment, but family life again did not develop, and the very spiritual atmosphere of the city on the Neva was alien to the young poet. In 1918, Yesenin decided to return to Moscow, and Zinaida Reich, pregnant with her daughter Tatyana, went to live with her parents in Orel.

Yesenin, 23, returned to Moscow as a well-known poet. But life was no easier for him than for the others. The young fashionable poet first settled in the hotel "Lux", now (house number 10), then moved to house number 19. From time to time he lived in the studio of the sculptor Sergei Konenkov, then with other friends and acquaintances - whoever had it.

At this time, Yesenin became close friends with Anatoly Mariengof. Since 1919, the friends began to rent apartments together and live "one house, one money." The young people settled in house number 3 (now Petrovsky lane, house 5, building 9) - the former house of the merchant Alexei Bakhrushin, a famous philanthropist and collector of theatrical antiquity, next to (currently). In apartment No. 46 the poets occupied three rooms, one of which was a former bathroom. According to the memoirs of A. Mariengof - the best place in the apartment: "We covered the bathtub with a mattress - a bed; a sink with boards - a desk; a column for warming water was heated with books. The heat from the column inspired the lyrics ..."

At that time, almost all the creative elite of the Silver Age gathered at the apartment of friends.

In memory of those years, a memorial plaque with a bas-relief of the poet and the inscription: "In this house from 1918 to 1923, the outstanding Soviet poet Sergei Alexandrovich Yesenin lived and worked" was installed on the building.

Under the influence of Mariengof, one of the founders and theorists of Imagism (a literary movement where the image comes to the fore, and form and content are reduced to it), Yesenin also became interested in the fashionable direction. At that time, writers themselves opened shops and sold their own books and autographs. The bookstore also appeared among the imagist poets. In the "Shop of Imagists" on (house No. 15), dapperly dressed Yesenin sometimes stood behind the counter himself. His poems sold out especially quickly.

Another project of the Imagists was the literary cafe "Pegasus Stall" at 37. Earlier it was called "Bom" and belonged to the popular eccentric clown M. Stanevsky, who works in the famous duet "Bim-Bom" (Radunsky-Stanevsky). In 1919, Imagist poets took over. The theater artist Georgy Yakulov, who designed the establishment, placed an unusual sign over the entrance - there was a pegasus in the middle in the clouds, and the name of the cafe "hovered" around in a flying intricate font. Inside, on ultramarine walls, portraits of the Imagists were sketched in bright yellow paint. Under the portrait of Sergei Yesenin there was a quote:

The wise gardener cuts - autumn

My head is a yellow leaf.

The portrait of A. Mariengof was decorated with a quatrain:

In the sun with a fist bang

And you are there - every dog's hair is a flea,

Crawling picking up the pieces

Broken enema.

The bohemian audience of that time - poets, writers, artists, artists gathered in the cafe-club. There have been both semi-criminal and criminal elements, and the "undercut bourgeois". Yesenin, known throughout the capital for his scandalous antics, once led one visitor out of the cafe literally by the nose. The poet did not like that the man spoke louder than the speaker Rurik Ivnev. Without thinking twice, Yesenin took him by the nose, led him across the hall and put him out the door. Oddly enough, but after this incident, the number of visitors in the cafe only increased.

It should be said that quite close to the "Pegasus Stable", there was a cafe of futurists - opponents of the imagists.

In the 1930s, Tverskaya Street was reconstructed. And now it is only approximately possible to designate the place where the cafe "Stable Pegasus" was located - in the area of \u200b\u200bhouse number 17.

For several years, Yesenin and Mariengof were inseparable. They traveled together, performed at various evenings, made friends with the same people.

On October 3, 1921, on the 26th birthday of Sergei Yesenin, a cheerful company gathered at the famous theater artist Georges Yakulov. His workshop was located in apartment # 38 by 10. This house is now better known for another apartment, which, with a light hand, began to be called "bad". The world-famous American dancer Isadora Duncan performed at the party. According to those present, the ballerina fell in love with Yesenin at first sight. By that time, Yesenin and Zinaida Reich already had two children, but, like the first marriage, this one did not work out. On the evening of meeting Isadora, Duncan, the poet and the great "barefoot" fled from Bolshaya Sadovaya to Isadora in a mansion on. They say that the rather short journey from Bolshaya Sadovaya to Prechistenka took much more time than usual. The asleep cab driver drove around three times, to which Yesenin jokingly remarked that the driver had married them like that. But officially they became husband and wife in the spring of 1922. Isadora Duncan needed to go abroad on tour, she could not go without Yesenin. In order not to create unnecessary problems on the trip, it was necessary to get married. Yesenin easily agreed to the marriage.

In the latter, at the beginning of the last century, there was a kind of literary club under the leadership of the association of proletarian writers, and in the basement there was a restaurant, loved by the writing fraternity for the discounts provided to them. (In the famous novel by MA Bulgakov "The Master and Margarita" "Herzen's House" is displayed as "Griboyedov's House"). In this house, where Yesenin read "Persian motives" and "Anna Snegina", the first museum of the famous poet was organized with the participation of Sofia Andreyevna Tolstoy-Yesenina. But it did not last long. After the ban on Yesenin's poetry, the museum was closed. Currently, the "Herzen House" is occupied by the literary institute. Gorky. Sadly, no material evidence related to Yesenin has been preserved here.

At the end of this year, the 90th anniversary of the death of Sergei Yesenin will be celebrated. The poet lived only 30 years. But this short, romantic, reckless and vibrant life left a deep mark on Russian poetry. For almost a century, Yesenin's poems have been loved in Russia. At the same time, not only his work is of interest, but also everything that the poet lived and touched in some way.

In the 92nd year, the son of the poet Sergei Yesenin, Alexander Yesenin-Volpin, passed away. Having inherited the rebellious spirit of his parents, he lived a long and colorful life. "VM" tells about his fate and remembers other children of the poet.

A year ago he was shown on TV: in a pale, thin old man it was impossible to recognize the features of a golden-haired poet; and it was also difficult to recognize the famous dissident. He was pestered with questions about his father; the old man clearly wanted to sleep. And suddenly - a glimpse, a joke, a sharp word. Alexander Sergeevich seemed to be on fire ... And it immediately became clear what he was. Amazing, bright ... He passed away quite recently - on March 16.

Different fates

Sergei Yesenin had novels - not to count. And four children. The eldest son, Georgy Izryadnov (from Anna Izryadnova), after school entered the aviation technical school, then went to the army, served in Far East... In 1937 he was shot as a terrorist - he just turned 22 years old.

From Zinaida Reich, Sergei Yesenin had a son Konstantin (1920 - 1986) and a daughter Tatyana (1918 - 1992). They also had a chance to sip grief. Konstantin went through the entire Great Patriotic War, earned three Orders of the Red Star. In a peaceful life, he was engaged in sports journalism. Tatiana also became a journalist, author of books about parents and Meyerhold (Tatiana saved Meyerhold's archive by hiding it in the country).

Multifaceted Volpin

About fellow citizens, cows and bulls!

What the Bolsheviks have brought you to ...

... But a terrible war will still begin,

And other times will knock ...

These lines belong to the pen of Alexander Yesenin-Volpin. The person is certainly multifaceted. Talented - on the verge of insanity. He was a well-known mathematician, human rights defender, and dissident.

And also a poet. Although for us, first of all, Alexander Sergeevich Volpin is the son of the great Russian poet Sergei Alexandrovich Yesenin.

There, in the north, the girl too ...

These famous lines from "Shagane" - "There, in the north, a girl too. She looks terribly like you. Maybe he is thinking about me ... ”- dedicated to Nadezhda Volpin, the poetess. Sergei Yesenin had a vivid romance with her, which never grew into marriage.

She was too rebellious, Nadezhda. The poet met her in a cafe on Tverskaya in 1919. It was the second anniversary of the October Revolution; in honor of the holiday, the poets gathered to read poetry. And Sergei suddenly "turned on the star", as they would say now. He said: "I don't want to speak!" Then a fan of his work, the beautiful Nadenka Volpin, approached him. And she asked - to read the poems! Sergei replied: "For you - with pleasure!" I read poetry, was successful ... They began to meet, but at first Nadezhda did not respond to Yesenin's advances. All of Moscow gossiped about his Don Juan list. And Nadezhda was a girl of strict rules. He presented her with a book with an ambiguous signature: "Nadezhda Volpin with hope." And she later wrote in her memoirs about how he besieged her for three years. She gave herself to Yesenin in the spring of 1922, which Yesenin told about in a drunken company. "I crushed this peach!" - boasted.

And she replied: "Crush a peach for a short time, and you gnaw the bone with your teeth!" "Ruffled!" - Yesenin laughed. Such was the relationship. Love-hate. They quarreled over poetry.

Yesenin even thought about marrying the rebellious Nadenka, but demanded that she leave poetry. When she confessed to him that she was pregnant, Sergei did not show joy. He already had children ... Proud Volpin left for Leningrad and gave birth to a boy on May 12, 1924. Yesenin saw him only once. Nadezhda broke off all relations with the poet.

Dissident

The son of Yesenin and Volpin fully inherited the rebellious spirit of his parents. In 1949 he became a candidate of mathematical sciences, then he was arrested for the first time for writing "anti-Soviet poems" and sent for compulsory treatment to a psychiatric clinic ... The asylum was replaced by exile to Karaganda. But it was impossible to break him. When he returned, he began to engage in human rights activities. And again he was treated. And so - for more than ten years. Then - exile.

In 1972, Volpin emigrated to the United States, where he worked at the University of Buffalo, and then in Boston. He professed skepticism: he denied all theories that cannot be scientifically confirmed. Because Volpin was a brilliant mathematician. And he did not take anything on faith. Dissident Vladimir Bukovsky once said that the illness for which Volpin was treated all his life is called pathological truthfulness. Alexander Sergeevich Volpin was going to live 120 years. But he died at the age of 92. God grant, as they say, to everyone ...

For Moscow, Yesenin is the dearest and closest poet of those changeable and exciting years of the early 20th century, which were called the Silver Age of Russian poetry and culture. And for the poet himself, this city was both "Love Capital" and "Moscow tavern", and a living organism full of human feelings and contradictions, both understandable and mysterious. Yesenin loved Moscow and considered it a native city in spirit. He was going to die in Moscow ...

17-year-old Yesenin, young and attractive, very bright (according to the recollections of close friends), arrived in Moscow after graduating from the teacher's school, in 1912. His father worked for many years as a clerk in a butcher's shop and hoped to get his son a “warm place”. Yesenin Sr. rented an apartment at Bolshoi Strochenovsky lane, 24... Sergey lived here for almost a year, while he worked in a shop with his father. This house became the site of his only Moscow residence permit from 1912 to 1918. The building has been preserved, now it is located : small, intimate and, in its own way, very cozy - one memorial room.

The young poet, romantic and dreaming of literary glory, was a stranger to working at the meat counter and, to the disappointment of his father, he left both the shop and the apartment. Moscow friends from the Surikov music and literary circle found him a suitable job as a proofreader in Typography Sytina on Pyatnitskaya, 71/5... Soon the first publication of the poet appeared in the children's magazine Mirok, published by Sytin: the poem "Birch". The building of the printing house has also been preserved and, despite the modern decoration and completion of the upper floor, it looks almost the same as at the beginning of the 20th century. IN chernyshevsky lane, 4/2 located Meyer's house, in the wing of which a branch of the S. A. Yesenin Museum was opened. According to the memoirs of a contemporary, it used to be a literary cafe of the Surikov literary circle, which the poet visited.

In 1913 Yesenin became a student of the historical and philosophical Shanyavsky Moscow City People's Universityon Miusskaya square, 6.Currently, this is the premises of the Russian State University for the Humanities. In Tyoply Lane, 20 (now - Timur Frunze Street) lived the family of the common-law wife of Sergei Yesenin - an employee of the same Sytinsk printing house Anna Izryadnova. The poet accompanied Anna here after their meetings and general visits to the university and the circle. A good family did not come out of their couple: a simple artless girl, Anna did not enjoy the attention of her beloved for long. They soon parted, despite the birth of a son, Yuri (George) in December 1914.

In 1994, in the apartment where Anna lived with her son after parting with Yesenin, at lane Sivtsev Vrazhek, 44, apt. fourteen, by the efforts of the People's Artist of the USSR Sergei Nikonenko, the Yeseninsky Cultural Center was created A.R. Izryadnova Museum-Apartment... The poet's ex-wife lived in this apartment for 20 years, her son Yuri, who was shot in 1937, was taken away from her, under false slander. Here, visiting his son, Sergei Alexandrovich himself visited more than once, and his mother Tatyana Fedorovna Yesenina visited.

On his next visit to Moscow, Yesenin lived for some time at the "Lux" st. Tverskoy, 10... The matured poet became, by this time, a more sophisticated person: he saw the revolution and Petersburg, met many poets and famous people... The first poetry collection "Radunitsa" brought him well-deserved fame and popularity. In the northern capital, he married an employee of the political newspaper Zinaida Reich, with whom he also quickly parted, but divorced only in 1921.

In Moscow, Yesenin rushed with renewed vigor into literary creation: by 1919, the poet's rapprochement with the Imagists dates back to. On Tverskaya street, house number 37there was a cult cafe of the Imagists "Stall of Pegasus" with a bright original interior, from which, unfortunately, nothing remained. But the building of the bookstore "Imagist store" has survived in the house on Bolshaya Nikitskaya, 15... Yesenin and his new close friend, poet and writer Anatoly Mariengof jointly owned the bookstore. According to the recollections of friends, Yesenin, irresistible in his dandy suit, enjoyed success with buyers and quite successfully sold his poems. The two friends rented three rooms in a communal apartment No. 46 at Bogoslovsky lane, 5 and they were visited by all the creative talents of the capital of that time. Now the lane is called Petrovsky. The house has survived, and a memorial plaque has been installed on it.

“Positive” addresses of Yesenin places, when he was enthusiastic and spontaneous in a youthful manner, committed his “literary blasphemy” with his friends, delighted listeners with incredibly sonorous and picturesque images of his poems and where he was truly happy, there are enough in the capital. Seething energy and passion attracted him to express himself everywhere and traces of the "Moscow mischievous reveler" were imprinted somewhere in the special annals of the city's memory incomprehensible to people.

IN House of Press on Nikitsky Boulevard, 8a / 3 Yesenin took part in evenings and discussions of fellow writers, and often spoke to the public. Now this building houses the Central House of Journalists. There are many such "creative" addresses of Yesenin in Moscow. This is organized by Bryusov in the former Sollogub Manor, Higher literary and art institute on st. Povarskoy, 52.Now the address of the surviving house: Tsvetnoy Boulevard, 22. This House of Scientists, 16, now - the Club of the Russian Academy of Sciences. it Proletkult Club on Vozdvizhenka, 18, arranged in the "Mauritanian Palace" of the merchant Morozov. The poet even lived for some time in the house at the Proletkult theater.

Yesenin had to visit more than once Tverskoy, 25,where the Russian and Moscow associations of proletarian writers were located. Here Yesenin spoke to colleagues in the shop. In this building at the beginning of 1926, a meeting was held on the issue of perpetuating the memory of the poet, and later the first museum of Sergei Yesenin was opened. It did not last long: the actions of ill-wishers began to desecrate the Yesenin heritage.

Not far from the Herzen House, on Tverskoy Boulevard located , to the favorite and revered poet Yesenin. Sergei Alexandrovich, whenever possible, visited the square in front of the monument, and for Pushkin's birthday he came specially - with flowers and for the sake of poetry, which he listened to and read himself. During the funeral, the coffin with Yesenin was carried three times in a circle around the Pushkin monument. This is how the disconsolate fans expressed their sorrow and love.

In the workshop of theatrical artist Georgy Yakulov at Bolshaya Sadovaya street, house number 10, better known for the fact that there is a "bad" Bulgakov's apartment, the poet met the American dancer Isadora Duncan. 26-year-old Yesenin and 42-year-old "divine Barefoot" were carried away by each other at first sight. They lived in the Balashov mansion on st. Prechistenka, 20,where the rehearsal hall of the ballerina Alexandra Balashova was used to train the famous “modern dance” enthusiast with Moscow children. In May 1922, the lovers registered their marriage at the Khamovnichesky registry office at Maly Mogiltsovsky lane, 3... At the Zimin Theater on Bolshaya Dmitrovka, 6 Isadora often performed in front of the admiring Moscow audience and the poet, accompanying his wife to all performances, was waiting for her in the box. Now this building belongs to the Operetta Theater on Bolshaya Dmitrovka.

The life of the lovers was not distinguished by complete harmony, and quarrels between them began almost immediately. Not wanting to sometimes come to Isadora while drunk or after another scandal, Yesenin spent the night with friends and acquaintances. IN Oruzheiny Lane, 43 his good friend and friend, journalist Ivan Ivanovich Startsev, was always ready to receive him. He arranged for the poet in the room of his apartment on the 8th floor of a building that was considered a skyscraper on the scale of Moscow in those years. Yesenin often visited here even later - in 1924, but considered it inconvenient to embarrass the Startsev family.

After returning from a trip abroad, the couple returned to Prechistenka, but their relationship, which had never been serene, became completely unbearable. Yesenin moved to the apartment of his secretary Galia Benislavskaya, who had been in love with him since 1920. Bryusov lane, 2 , the poet lived for almost a year and a half. Later his sisters Katya and Shura moved here to live with the poet. Yesenin came here drunk, after fights, scandals and fights. He was pitied, treated and patiently waited after new adventures.

On st. Pokrovka, house number 9 lived Valentin Volpin, a cousin of the poetess Nadezhda Volpin, with whom Yesenin had an affair, which ended in May 1924 with the birth of his fourth child, the son of Alexander. Despite the difficult relationship between his sister and the poet, Valentin was friends with Yesenin since his service in Tashkent, where they met in 1920.

After a divorce from Isadora Yesenin in 1925, he married Sofya Andreyevna Tolstaya, the granddaughter of the famous writer. The newlyweds settled in the house No. 3 in Pomerantsevoy lane... This marriage was not happy: the poet did not have particularly hot feelings for his wife, drank a lot and often spent the night away from home. Many relatives believed that he was greatly impressed by the relationship of his wife with, and therefore the marriage took place. Aristocratic sophisticated and restrained, Sophia in love forgave her husband and pitied him.

Yesenin's “easy walk”, which “every dog \u200b\u200bknows” in the elm city, was out of the question: the memory of other traces of the poet began to remain on the streets of Moscow. Long-term struggle with difficult conditions of creative life and violent temperament made themselves felt. After incessant binges, scandals and her husband's attempts to commit suicide, Sofya Andreevna obtained from Yesenin consent to treatment "for nerves" in the paid neuropsychiatric clinic of Professor Gannushkin, but the poet, without having completed the treatment, fled to St. Petersburg, and from there he was brought already in a coffin.

Farewell to Yesenin took place in the House of the Press on

The best thing that I have seen in this world is Moscow after all ...

S.A. Yesenin

In 1995, on the eve of the 100th anniversary of the poet's birth, a museum was opened in the house where Yesenin's acquaintance with Moscow began. Today, there are exhibits covering all periods of Yesenin's life, from early youth to his tragic death, but most of the exhibition is devoted to the Moscow segment of his life and work. Of all the poets of the Silver Age, Sergei Yesenin was most closely associated with Moscow - almost a third of his life passed here, the first poem was printed and most of his works were created.

Be Yuri, Muscovite.

Live in the aukai forest.

And you will see your dream in reality.

A long time ago, your namesake Yuri Dolgoruky

I founded Moscow for you as a gift.

At this time, Yesenin became close friends with Anatoly Mariengof. Since 1919, the friends began to rent apartments together and live "one house, one money." The young people settled in house number 3 (now Petrovsky lane, house 5, building 9) - the former house of the merchant Alexei Bakhrushin, a famous philanthropist and collector of theatrical antiquity, next to (currently). In apartment No. 46 the poets occupied three rooms, one of which was a former bathroom. According to A. Mariengof's recollections - the best place in the apartment: "We covered the bath with a mattress - a bed; a sink with boards - a writing table; a column for warming water was heated with books. The heat from the column inspired the lyrics ..."

At that time, almost all the creative elite of the Silver Age gathered at the apartment of friends.

The wise gardener cuts - autumn

My head is a yellow leaf.

The portrait of A. Mariengof was decorated with a quatrain:

In the sun with a fist bang

And you are there - every dog's hair is a flea,

Crawling picking up the pieces

Broken enema.

It should be said that quite close to the "Pegasus Stable", there was a cafe of futurists - opponents of the imagists.

For several years, Yesenin and Mariengof were inseparable. They traveled together, performed at various evenings, made friends with the same people.

– What is the role of writers' unions now?

- I do not know what the Writers' Union, in which I am a member, is doing now. I am invited there for reporting and election meetings, nothing more. But I still never vote for anyone. I have always been an antisocial element, which I remain to this day.

– Is there a hierarchy of talent in our time?

- Previously, in connection with this issue, we all the time nodded to the West. Indeed, in the West, if a person is talented, he walks the steps to success. They know how to distinguish and appreciate talent, because it costs a lot of money, you can make money on it. And in our country, as a rule, the blessings of life were received and are received by those who know how to bend and break through. In Soviet times, the Writers' Union had less than 20% of real writers.

– What about today?

- And today we have mourning every day. Here the forests were on fire, disasters constantly happen. At the same time, the logic of present life suggests that this is natural. And then there is no time for writing ...

– How do you see our future?

- I am 74 years old, so my future is known. I have already experienced clinical death. Now I don't hear anything and speak, as you can see, with difficulty. As for the rest, then this should be asked about who is called God. A very tense situation has now emerged in the world. It seems that everything is hanging by a thread, there is an insane acceleration of technical progress. The earth is overpopulated with people. And it is not necessary to blame only politicians for all troubles. Politics is an effect, not a cause. Man himself destroys his environment. Look, as a result of not taking action on time, half of Central Russia burned out.

– And what will happen to literature?

- Literature will also burn. Everything is very simple here. And no fate has anything to do with it. The eccentric Mikhail Bulgakov wrote: "Manuscripts do not burn." It is not true. They are burning, and how! Here's a good example for you: how much is left of the great Greek civilization?

Musical and poetic performance

Few poets have a destiny that easily becomes legend. They create this legend themselves - during their lifetime. This is how the two great Russian poets of the 20th century, Sergei Yesenin and Vladimir Vysotsky, created their destiny. They have no equal in expression, emotional intensity, drama of the verse, and this brings them closer, puts them side by side. Yesenin and Vysotsky are also united by a pronounced singing, musical beginning ...

"His songs are sung everywhere - from our trustworthy living rooms to the prison." So in 1925 the Soviet classic Leonid Leonov wrote about Yesenin. But the statement can be fully attributed to Vysotsky. Both are self-made people. Through their poetry, music and musicality, we will talk about their life and destiny.

The evening will feature civil-patriotic lyrics by S. Yesenin and military songs by V. Vysotsky.
