Sergei Yesenin (1895-1925) is the most beloved poet of Russia. A self-taught genius, he lived only 30 years, but left an unforgettable legacy: poems, dramas, lyric and social verses, many of which became folk songs. He defined the essence of his era more accurately than others, a time of revolutionary changes, when “freedom, which had poisoned us, boldly lashed out beyond the borders.” No one understood Russian nature so deeply. His poems dedicated to women and confessional lyrics, in which Yesenin was extremely sincere and frank, have forever remained in the people’s souls. The poet’s fate was tragic. At the age of 31, the poet, whose every line was awaited by millions of people, was unable to cope with an acute mental crisis and committed suicide. However, the mystery of Yesenin’s death has still not been revealed…
