Sergey Yesenin's unique talent and tragic fate made him one of the key figures of Russian poetry of the twentieth century. A peasant poet and Moscow "hooligan", he left life young, at the peak of his creative powers. And today the circumstances of his fate can no longer be separated from the myths, but his heartfelt lyrics still touch with their confessional sincerity and purity. According to Vl. Khodasevich, "the history of Esenin is a history of misconceptions," but "through all these misconceptions passes some huge, precious truth ... Beautiful and noble in Esenin that he was infinitely truthful in his work and before his conscience, that in everything came to the end, that was not afraid to recognize the mistakes ... and was willing to pay a terrible price for everything. His truth is his love for his homeland, even if blind, but great". This edition presents poems and "small poems" by Sergei Yesenin, both widely known and those that were not included in the "main collection", as well as the poems "Pugachev", "The Land of Scoundrels" and others.
