Sergei Alexandrovich Yesenin was born on September 21, 1895. in the village of Konstantinov, Ryazan province. Soon, Yesenin’s father left for Moscow and got a job as a clerk, so Yesenin was sent to be raised in the family of his maternal grandfather. My grandfather had three adult unmarried sons. Sergei Yesenin later wrote: My uncles (three unmarried sons of my grandfather) were mischievous brothers. When I was three and a half years old they put me on a horse without a saddle and let me gallop. They also taught me how to swim: they put me in a boat, sailed to the middle of the lake and threw me into the water. When I was eight years old, I replaced one of my uncle’s hunting dogs and swam through the water after shot ducks.

In 1904 Sergei Yesenin was taken to the Konstantinovsky Zemstvo School, where he studied for five years. In 1909 He graduated from the Konstantinovsky Zemstvo School and his parents sent Sergei to a parochial school in the village of Spas-Klepiki. In 1912 Sergei Aleksandrovich Yesenin, having graduated from the Spas-Klepikovskaya teacher's school, moved to Moscow and settled with his father in a dormitory for clerks.

On December 21, 1914, their son Yuri (George) was born. Further events developed in such a way that they parted sadly and tenderly, without quarrels or scandals. During his life with Anna Romanovna, Yesenin wrote about 70 famous poems that became Russian classics. During his life, Yesenin helped Izryadnova financially and visited his son. He came just before his death.
In Moscow, Yesenin published his first poem, Birch, which was published in the Moscow children's magazine Mirok. The white birch tree under my window is covered with snow, like silver. On the fluffy branches, like a snowy border, brushes blossomed like a white fringe. And the birch tree stands in sleepy silence, and snowflakes burn in golden fire. And the dawn, lazily going around, sprinkles the branches with new silver.
In 1915, Sergei Aleksandrovich Yesenin went to Petrograd (now St. Petersburg) and met there with the great poets of Russia of the 20th century: Blok, Gorodetsky, Klyuev. In 1916, Yesenin published his first collection of poems by Radunitsa, which included such poems as Do not wander, do not crush in the crimson bushes, The hewn roads began to sing and others.

In the first half of 1916, Yesenin was drafted into the army, but thanks to the efforts of his friends, he received an appointment ("with the highest permission") as an orderly on the Tsarskoe Selo military sanitary train 143 of Her Imperial Majesty Empress Alexandra Feodorovna, which allows him to freely attend literary salons and attend receptions with patrons, performing at concerts. At one of the concerts in the infirmary to which he was assigned (the empress and princesses also served as nurses here), he meets the royal family.
Yesenin's wife, actress - Zinaida Nikolaevna Reich () On July 30, 1917, Yesenin (21 years old) got married to actress Zinaida Reich in the Church of Kirik and Ulita, Vologda district. On May 29, 1918, their daughter Tatyana was born, whom Yesenin loved very much. On February 3, 1920, after Yesenin separated from Zinaida Reich, their son Konstantin was born. On October 2, 1921, the people's court of Orel ruled to dissolve Yesenin's marriage to Reich. Next, Sergei Yesenin helped Zinaida financially and visited the children. In 1922, Zinaida Reich married director Vsevolod Emilievich Meyerhold (), he was 20 years older than her.

At the beginning of 1918 Yesenin moved to Moscow. Having met the revolution with enthusiasm, he wrote several short poems ("The Jordan Dove", "Inonia", "Heavenly Drummer", all 1918, etc.), imbued with a joyful anticipation of the "transformation" of life. They combine godless sentiments with biblical imagery to indicate the scale and significance of the events taking place. Yesenin, glorifying the new reality and its heroes, tried to correspond to the times ("Cantata", 1919). In later years he wrote “Song of the Great March”, 1924, “Captain of the Earth”, 1925, etc.). Reflecting on “where the fate of events is taking us,” the poet turns to history (dramatic poem “Pugachev”, 1921). Sergei Yesenin at the birch tree. Photo year.
Searches in the field of imagery bring Yesenin closer to A. B. Mariengof, V. G. Shershenevich, R. Ivnev, at the beginning of 1919 they united in a group of imagists; Yesenin becomes a regular at the Pegasus Stable, a literary café of Imagists at the Nikitsky Gate in Moscow. However, the poet only partly shared their platform, the desire to cleanse the form of the “dust of content.” His aesthetic interests are directed to the patriarchal village way of life, folk art and the spiritual fundamental principle of the artistic image (treatise “The Keys of Mary”, 1919). Already in 1921, Yesenin appeared in print criticizing the “buffoonish antics for the sake of antics” of his “brothers” Imagists. Gradually, fanciful metaphors are leaving his lyrics. Sergei Yesenin (left) and Anatoly Borisovich Mariengof (). Moscow, summer. Photo year.
In the early 1920s. in Yesenin’s poems there appear motifs of “storm-ravaged everyday life” of drunken prowess, giving way to hysterical melancholy. The poet appears as a hooligan, a brawler, a drunkard with a bloody soul, hobbling “from den to den,” where he is surrounded by “alien and laughing rabble” (collections “Confession of a Hooligan,” 1921; “Moscow Tavern,” 1924).

Yakulov. Yesenin and Duncan were married on May 3, 1922, and Isadora accepted Russian citizenship. After the wedding, we went to Europe - we were in Germany, France, Belgium, Italy, and lived for four months in the USA. The trip lasted from May 1922 to August 1923.

Their marriage, despite the passion of the relationship, was brief, and soon there was a break. They were divorced. In 1924, Duncan returned to the United States. Isadora did not survive Yesenin for long - by 1 year and 8 months. In Nice, tying her long blood-red scarf, she went for a car ride. Her last words were: “Farewell, friends! I’m going to glory.” The scarf wrapped around the wheel and tightened the death noose around the dancer's neck. The death was instant.
Yesenin returned to his homeland with joy, a feeling of renewal, a desire “to be a singer and a citizen... in the great states of the USSR.” During this period () his best lines were created: the poems “The golden grove dissuaded...”, “Letter to mother”, “Now we are leaving little by little...”, the cycle “Persian motives”, the poem “Anna Snegina”, etc. The main place in his poems still belongs to the theme of the homeland, which now acquires dramatic shades. The once single harmonious world of Yesenin’s Rus' bifurcates: “Soviet Rus'”, “Leaving Rus'”. The motif of the competition between old and new (“red-maned foal” and “a train on cast-iron paws”), outlined in the poem “Sorokoust” (1920), is being developed in the poems of recent years: recording the signs of a new life, welcoming “stone and steel,” Yesenin increasingly feels like a singer of a “golden log hut”, whose poetry “is no longer needed here” (collections “Soviet Rus'”, “Soviet Country”, both 1925). The emotional dominant of the lyrics of this period are autumn landscapes, motives of summing up, and farewells.
One of his last works was the poem “Country of Scoundrels,” in which he denounced the Soviet regime. After this, he began to be persecuted in the newspapers, accusing him of drunkenness, fighting, etc. The last two years of Yesenin’s life were spent in constant travel: hiding from prosecution, he travels to the Caucasus three times, goes to Leningrad several times, and Konstantinovo seven times. At the same time, he is once again trying to start a family life, but his union with S. A. Tolstoy (granddaughter of L. N. Tolstoy) was not happy.

On December 28, 1925, Yesenin was found in the Leningrad Angleterre Hotel, hanging from a steam heating pipe. His last poem, “Goodbye, my friend, goodbye...” was written in this hotel in blood, and according to the poet’s friends, Yesenin complained that there was no ink in the room, and he was forced to write in blood. He was buried on December 31, 1925 in Moscow at the Vagankovskoye cemetery.

(Children recite poems).
Teacher: Well done boys! Attention, let's get back to the presentation.
(View the presentation with the teacher's comments).
Example text:
Sergei Yesenin was born into an ordinary peasant family. Like all village children, he ran along the street, frolicked in the fresh air at any time of the year, listened to village fairy tales and songs.
From early childhood, he saw and noticed everything: the hardships of rural life and the beauty of the surrounding nature. This could not but affect his work. Ryazan expanse, the Oka running away like a blue ribbon, spacious meadows, birch groves - it was these pictures of native nature that were reflected in Yesenin’s poetry.
Currently, in his homeland, in the village of Konstantinov, the memory of the poet is carefully preserved in the State Museum-Reserve S.A. Yesenina.
Near the Yesenins’ house there is a wooden monument restored for the 100th anniversary of Yesenin’s birth. zemstvo primary school, which Sergei graduated with a certificate of merit. The created exhibition tells about the role of zemstvo schools in the education and upbringing of peasant children. Here is a slate board that Sergei Yesenin used, photographs of his first teachers, textbooks.

Teacher: And now I offer you divide into groups according to the seasons (according to the poems learned) and take your seats at the tables.
"White"- those who told a poem about winter.
"Greens"- those who recited a poem about spring.
"Yellow"- those who told a poem about summer.
"Reds"- those who told a poem about autumn.
First, let's remember the rules of working in a group.
(Children's answers and group work follow).
Teacher: Listen carefully to the poems of Sergei Yesenin "Grandmother's Tales":
On a winter evening in the backyards
A rollicking crowd
Over the snowdrifts, over the hills
We're going home.
The sled will get tired of it,
And we sit in two rows
Listen to old wives' tales
About Ivan the Fool.
And we sit, barely breathing.
It's time for midnight.
Let's pretend we don't hear
If mom calls you to sleep.
All fairy tales. Time for bed...
But how can you sleep now?
And again we began to shout,
We're starting to pester.
Grandmother will say timidly:
“Why sit until dawn?”
Well, what do we care, -
Talk and talk.
Teacher: What time of year are we talking about?
Children: About winter.
Teacher: Right. Yesenin's poems about winter are unusually sincere and warm. Here are some of them: “Winter”, “Swept by a Blizzard”, “Grandmother’s Tales”, “White Birch”, “Winter Sings and Sounds”, “Powder” and others. Despite the fact that winter is a harsh season, the lines are warmed with special warmth. Winter is a wonderful time. In winter, everything around seems mysterious. In the poems, winter time is permeated on the one hand with special sadness, and on the other with unprecedented lightness. Yesenin loved this time of year very much. Perhaps that is why it was at this time that he wrote many of his best poems.
Yesenin’s poems about winter, which we heard today: “White Birch”, “Winter Sings and Sounds”, “Powder”.
Teacher: How do they make you feel? Why? Did you like it? How?
Exercise: Remember the birds that are discussed in these poems. It is necessary to color only them from all those proposed. Everyone will work individually. But you will bring the result to your group.
Note: Sheets are given with images of the following birds: sparrow, crow, woodpecker(correct option). As well as sheets with images of any other birds, for example: dove, parrot, etc.
(Individual work is carried out with children and the results of the group’s work are summed up).
Teacher: The next task for groups is solve the riddles, about what time of year our next group of poems by Sergei Yesenin is about.
(Each group receives its own riddle about spring in an envelope).
Sample riddles about spring:
1.Green-eyed, cheerful,
The girl is a beauty.
She brought it to us as a gift,
What everyone will like:
Greens - leaves,
We are warm
Magic - for everything to bloom.
Birds flew after her
All craftswomen sing songs.
Can you guess who she is?
This girl is... (Spring).
2. The snowstorm has died down, the winds have ceased,
The spruce needles are slightly shiny.
And Santa Claus sits in his sleigh,
It's time for him to say goodbye to us.
To replace him, majestically
The beauty is walking alone.
You know a lot about her
The beauty's name is... (Spring).
3.I open my buds
In green leaves.
I dress the trees
I water the crops
Full of movement
My name is … (Spring).
4. Loose snow
Melts in the sun
The breeze plays in the branches,
Louder bird voices
Means,
Came to us... (Spring).
(Children read riddles and solve them).
Teacher: Right. These riddles are about spring, about awakening nature, about the first flowers and spring mood. Tired of the long and cold winter, everyone is looking forward to the arrival of a warm, sunny and long-awaited spring. I want to quickly inhale the spring aroma, soak up the warm sun, when the birds are singing around me, and everything is blooming, smelling and fragrant. Yesenin's poems about spring unusually lyrical, they are warmed by an amazing inner warmth. Pure and true. Sergey Yesenin- a native Russian poet. His enormous talent and unconditional talent are not in doubt. Native nature- his passion and love. He managed to see beauty where someone else, passing by, would not have noticed anything special.
Yesenin’s poems about spring, which we heard today: “The Coming of Spring”, “Spring Evening”, “Bird Cherry”.
Exercise: Write all the signs of spring that appear in these poems. (Correct answers: the snow is melting, the first leaves are appearing, the grass is turning green, the early flowers smell fragrant, birds and others are flying in from the south).
Teacher: Summer- one of the most amazing times of the year. Nature appears before man in all its glory. A hot afternoon, lush herbs, the aroma of flowers, the coolness of the forest - all this is reflected in the work of Sergei Yesenin, who dedicated exciting and romantic poems to summer. The trees stand magnificently dressed in bright, green outfits. Grass grows everywhere, and on it there are colorful lights of flowers - cornflowers, bells, daisies. And butterflies flutter above them and all sorts of flies buzz. Poems about summer in Yesenin’s works convey the beauty of Russian nature, the singing of birds and the sound of the forest. Everything smells fragrant and blooms. The poems are saturated with the warmth of summer beauty and full of love for our native nature, which is rich in rich green colors and noble summer mood.
Yesenin’s poems about summer that we heard today: “It’s already evening,” “Good morning.”
Poem "Good morning" is an attempt to capture the amazing beauty of a warm summer morning, when trees and grass, washed with silvery dew, froze in anticipation of the first rays of the sun. The short moment between sleep and wakefulness is filled with calm and charm, and even the singing of birds is not able to disturb the delightful idyll.
Teacher: Summer decorates gardens and orchards. Fragrant strawberries bend low to the ground. Juicy cherries and other berries, vegetables and fruits are ripe. Everywhere there is a riot of colors, a celebration of fertility, a pleasant feeling of warmth and comfort. High clear sky and warm clear water of the rivers. Summer is so bright and colorful.
Exercise: remember and write all the vegetation found in Sergei Yesenin’s poems about summer. (Correct answers: birch trees, nettles, willow).
(This is followed by completing the task and summing up the group’s work).
Teacher: In a poem by Sergei Yesenin “The fields are compressed, the groves are bare” depicted picture of autumn nature. But this is not just an autumn sketch, here the author initiates us into his innermost thoughts. Autumn evokes a sad, dull, dreary mood. When you read the work, you immediately literally “find yourself” in the autumn forest. Yesenin helps to consider the beauty of late autumn in an unsightly picture: groves, fields, river, dampness, fog. All these unpoetic and commonly used words in their literal meaning. Yesenin transforms bare, dull groves into ringing beautiful thickets, unpleasant dampness and fog into a mysterious haze. Yesenin gives us the opportunity to feel that the world is full of miracles, that nature is close, and we are related to it by blood, because it has the same joys, dreams and sorrows.
Yesenin’s poems about autumn, which we heard today: “Autumn”, “The fields are compressed, the groves are bare”, “Waiting for winter”.
Teacher: Yours exercise: make up proverbs about autumn from these words. Remember, guys, that a proverb is wisdom that has been tested over the centuries. Wish you luck!
Sample proverbs:
Autumn is the time to harvest.
In late autumn, one berry, and even then a bitter rowan.
Do not count your chickens before they are hatched.
Autumn is coming, and with it comes the rain.
There is no turn from autumn to summer.
(This is followed by completing the task and summing up the group’s work).
Teacher: In their rhythm, Yesenin’s poems are close to Russian folk songs; they are melodious and melodic. That is why many of Sergei Yesenin’s poems are set to music and turned into song compositions - romances. Guys, what do you think - romance?
(The children's reasoning follows).
(View the presentation with the teacher's comments).
Example text:
Word "romance" came to Russia in the middle of the 18th century from Spain. Originally it meant a poem in Spanish (“Roman”), performed musically with instrumental accompaniment. The single-voice performance of the song gave rise to the Russian romance. In a romance, every word is important. And without good poetry there will be no romance, even no matter how beautiful the melody is. The plot of a romance is usually simple, about human experiences: love, separation, loneliness, memory of the past. Feelings in romance are expressed directly, in open text. The peculiarity of the romance is its confidential intonation towards the listener. Romance always encourages empathy.
Wrote many songs-romances to the poems of Sergei Yesenin composer Grigory Fedorovich Ponomarenko(1921 - 1996). Such as: “The golden grove dissuaded me...”, “I don’t regret, I don’t call, I don’t cry...”, “I’m wandering through the first snow,” “Queen” and others.
Also, songs-romances based on Yesenin’s poems were written by: A. Vertinsky (“In the land where the yellow nettle is”), V. Lipatov (“Letter to Mother”), E. Popov (“The Moon Above the Window”), A. Pokrovsky (“Songs, songs, what are you shouting about?”), N. Kutuzov (“Birch”), G. Sviridov (“The nightingale has one good song”), Muslim Magomayev (“Farewell, Baku!”) and many others .
The list of performers of romances based on Sergei Yesenin's poems is huge: academic and opera singers, performers of pop songs and romances, academic, folk and Cossack choirs, singers, VIA (vocal and instrumental ensembles). Famous performers of romances: Vladimir Ivashov, Alexander Novikov, vocal trio “Relic”, Alexander Malinin and many others.
Teacher: Why do you think Yesenin’s poems set to music are called romances?
(The children's reasoning follows).
Teacher: Indeed, the words are so lyrical, so heartfelt and figurative that they themselves are set to music. Yesenin's poems are filled with sounds, smells and colors. But they always feel sadness and sadness. Complete unity with the life of the people is the main and defining feature of Yesenin’s poetry. He did not need to comprehend the soul of the people, he knew it and felt it perfectly. She literally “lived in him”, with those songs that he had heard since childhood. Sergei Yesenin's father, Alexander Nikitich, sang in church as a boy, and his mother, Tatyana Fedorovna, was the first chanter (performer of songs) in the village. The blond-haired, blue-eyed grandson ran to his grandfather and said: “Grandfather, I will be a poet.” His grandfather stroked him on the head and said: “You will, you will, son.” Maybe that’s why Yesenin’s poems set to music are called romances.
Teacher: I suggest you listen romance “The Golden Grove Dissuaded” performed by students of our class - the Belfry ensemble.
Note: You can include this or another romance in your recordings.
(Next, listening to the romance).
Note: First, the children can be given the text of the poem “The Golden Grove Dissuaded” by Sergei Yesenin.
Poem "The golden grove dissuaded"
The golden grove dissuaded
Birch, cheerful language,
And the cranes, sadly flying,
They don’t regret anyone anymore.
Whom should I feel sorry for? After all, everyone in the world is a wanderer -
He will pass, come in and leave the house again.
The hemp plant dreams of all those who have passed away
With a wide moon over the blue pond.
I stand alone among the naked plain,
And the cranes are carried away by the wind,
I'm full of thoughts about my cheerful youth,
But I don’t regret anything about the past.
I don't feel sorry for the years wasted in vain,
I don’t feel sorry for the soul of the lilac blossom.
There is a fire of red rowan burning in the garden,
But he can't warm anyone.
Rowan berry brushes will not get burned,
Yellowness will not make the grass disappear,
Like a tree silently shedding its leaves,
So I drop sad words.
And if time, scattered by the wind,
Rakes them all into one unnecessary lump...
Say this... that the grove is golden
She answered with sweet language.
Teacher: Through the poems of Sergei Yesenin, you can feel all the beauty and harmony of the world around you. In the 30 years allotted to him on earth, he accomplished so much, as if he had lived a huge life. The beginning of all beginnings for Sergei Yesenin was the Motherland, in which he saw Russia. He praised her with great admiration.

(The following is a reading of the poem).
Goy, Rus', my dear,
Huts - in the robes of the image...
No end in sight -
Only blue sucks his eyes.
Like a visiting pilgrim,
I'm looking at your fields.
And at the low outskirts
The poplars are dying loudly.
Smells like apple and honey
Through the churches, your meek Savior.
And it buzzes behind the bush
There is a merry dance in the meadows.
I'll run along the crumpled stitch
To the freedom of the green forests,
Towards me, like earrings,
A girl's laughter will ring out.
If the holy army shouts:
"Throw away Rus', live in paradise!"
I will say: "There is no need for heaven,
Give me my homeland."

Sample poems:ABOUT WINTER
White birch
White birch tree under my window
She covered herself with snow, like silver.
On fluffy branches with a snow border
The tassels blossomed with white fringe.
And the birch tree stands in sleepy silence,
And snowflakes burn in golden fire.
And the dawn, lazily walking around,
Sprinkles the branches with new silver.
Winter sings and echoes
Winter sings and echoes,
The shaggy forest lulls
The ringing sound of a pine forest.
All around with deep melancholy
Sailing to a distant land
Gray clouds.
And there's a snowstorm in the yard
Spreads a silk carpet,
But it's painfully cold.
Sparrows are playful,
Like lonely children,
Huddled by the window.
The little birds are cold,
Hungry, tired,
And they huddle tighter.
And the blizzard roars madly
Knocks on the hanging shutters
And he gets angrier.
And the tender birds are dozing
Under these snowy whirlwinds
At the frozen window.
And they dream of a beautiful
In the smiles of the sun is clear
Beautiful spring.
Porosha
I'm going. Quiet. Rings are heard
Under the hoof in the snow.
Only gray crows
They made noise in the meadow.
Bewitched by the invisible
The forest slumbers under the fairy tale of sleep.
Like a white scarf
A pine tree has tied up.
Bent over like an old lady
Leaned on a stick
And right under the top of my head
A woodpecker is hitting a branch.
The horse is galloping, there is a lot of space.
The snow is falling and the shawl is laying down.
Endless road
Runs away like a ribbon into the distance.
ABOUT SPRING
The coming of spring
Spring is coming, the snow is melting quickly,
And everything comes to life with her arrival!
The trees are dressed with green foliage,
The meadow turns green, covered with grass.
The fields turned green, breathing in the aroma.
The flowers were colorful, the birds flew in.
The forest came alive with chirping,
The air was filled with fragrance.
Spring evening
The silver river flows quietly
In the kingdom of evening green spring.
The sun sets behind the forested mountains.
A golden horn emerges from the moon.
The West is covered with a pink ribbon,
The plowman returned to the hut from the fields,
And beyond the road in the birch thicket
The nightingale sang a song of love.
Listens affectionately to deep songs
From the west the dawn is like a pink ribbon.
Looks tenderly at the distant stars
And the earth smiles at the sky.
Bird cherry
The fragrant bird cherry blossomed in spring
And the golden branches curled like curls.
All around, honey dew slides down the bark,
Underneath it, spicy greenery shines in silver.
And nearby, near a thawed patch, in the grass, between the roots,
A small silver stream runs and flows.
The fragrant bird cherry, hanging, stands,
And the golden greens burn in the sun.
The stream hits all the branches like a thunderous wave
And insinuatingly sings songs to her under the steepness.
ABOUT SUMMER
Good morning
The golden stars dozed off,
The mirror of the backwater trembled,
The light is dawning on the river backwaters
And blushes the sky grid.
The sleepy birches smiled,
Silk braids were disheveled.
Green earrings rustle,
And the silver dews burn.
The fence is overgrown with nettles
Dressed in bright mother of pearl
And, swaying, whispers playfully:
"Good morning!"
It's already evening
It's already evening. Dew
Glistens on nettles.
I'm standing by the road
Leaning against the willow tree.
There is great light from the moon
Right on our roof.
Somewhere the song of a nightingale
I hear it in the distance.
Nice and warm
Like by the stove in winter.
And the birches stand
Like big candles.
ABOUT AUTUMN
Autumn
Autumn! The sky is cloudy, the wind is noisy.
Nature looks bored everywhere.
The flowers have faded; trees are bare:
The gardens are withered, the valleys are sad.
And you can’t hear the birds, they’ve all flown away.
For the last time in the spring a song was sung.
Autumn! The sky is cloudy. The rain is pouring down
Sad, boring time passes.
The fields are compressed, the groves are bare
The fields are compressed, the groves are bare,
The water causes fog and dampness.
Wheel behind the blue mountains
The sun went down quietly.
The dug-up road sleeps.
Today she dreamed
Which is very, very little
We have to wait for the gray winter.
Oh, and I myself am in the ringing thicket
I saw this in the fog yesterday:
Red moon as a foal
He harnessed himself to our sleigh.
Waiting for winter
Under the autumn aspen trees
Bunny to Bunny says:
- Look how cobwebs
Our aspen tree is entwined.
White threads flashed,
A leaf in the oak grove turned red;
Through the dead trees
Someone's howling and whistling can be heard.
Then the winter is coming angry -
Woe to the poor beast!
Let's hasten to her arrival
Whiten your fur coat. -
Under the autumn aspen trees
Friends hugged, silent...
Turned their backs to the sun -
Gray fur coats are bleached.
3. He studied at the Konstantinovsky Zemsky School, then graduated from the Spas-Klepikovsky school, where rural teachers were trained. After graduation, he lived in the village for another year.
4. At the age of 17 he left for the Russian capital, where he worked for a merchant as a proofreader in an office; took part in the Surikov literary and musical circle, still continuing to write poetry.
5. In 1912 he entered the historical and philosophical department of the A. Shanyavsky People's University.
6. At the beginning of 1914, he began publishing his poetry in Moscow magazines.
7. In 1915, Sergei Yesenin went to live in St. Petersburg (then Petrograd) and almost immediately met Blok, in whose house he found a warm welcome and approval of his poetry. The poet’s talent is recognized by Klyuev and Gorodetsky, with whom Blok introduces him.
8. Almost all the lyrics brought by the poet are printed in Moscow, which immediately become loved by many. Since 1916, Yesenin’s first book, “Radunitsa,” was published, then (from 1914 to 1917) “Dove,” “Martha the Posadnitsa” and others.
9. Since 1916, Sergei Yesenin has been conscripted for military service, from where he subsequently leaves without permission, and works with the Socialist Revolutionaries as a “poet.” At the time of the revolution, he was in a disciplinary battalion, where he ended up because he refused to write a poem for the Tsar. During the split of the party, he joined the left group and was among their fighting squad.
10. I accepted the onset of the peasant revolution with all joy. From 1918 to 21, he traveled a lot across the expanses of the country, visiting Arkhangelsk, Murmansk, the Caucasus, Crimea, Bessarabia, and Turkestan.
11. In 1922-23, he went on a trip to Europe (France, Belgium, Italy, Germany) with his beloved, the famous American dancer Isadora Duncan; lived in the USA for four months.
12. Sergei Yesenin’s poetry is full of ardent love for his native land, for people and nature, but in his lyrics sometimes there are notes of sadness and disappointment, because the poet later regretted supporting the revolution. In 1924-25, such famous poems as “Persian Motifs”, “Departing Rus'”, “Letter to Mother” were written. Shortly before his death, he writes one of his most famous creations: the tragic poem “The Black Man”.
13. The life of Sergei Yesenin ends tragically. According to the official version of the authorities, he committed suicide (the tragedy occurred in the Petrograd Angleterre Hotel). But many believe that the Soviet authorities committed reprisals against the poet. The poet was buried at the Vagankovskoye cemetery.

- Sergei Alexandrovich Yesenin
- (October 3, 1895 – December 28, 1925)
- Sergei Yesenin was born on October 3 (September 21), 1895 in the village of Konstantinovo, Ryazan province, into a wealthy peasant family.
- In 1904, Yesenin was sent to the Konstantinovsky Zemstvo School, which he graduated in 1909 with a certificate of merit, and then was sent to a closed church-teacher school in the large trading village of Spas-Klepiki. It was at school that Yesenin’s first poetic experiments appeared.
- “I was born with songs in a blanket of grass, The spring dawns twisted me into a rainbow...”

- In the upper room on the wall there are family photographs, a certificate of merit, which was awarded to Sergei Yesenin in 1909 upon graduating from a local four-year school. "On the wall there is an old clock from the famous watch company - "Gabyu".
- Soon, soon the wooden clock will wheeze my twelfth hour!”

- The first publication of Yesenin's poems appeared in early 1914.
- Soon after this, Yesenin’s first book of poems, “Radunitsa,” was published (later republished in 1918 and 1921). And already in the spring he was invited to the empress to read poetry. The poet’s “court” story ended with him successfully avoiding the front and, apparently, “making very important connections” that turned out to be so inopportune during the days of the revolution
- Even in his early youthful poems (in the collection “Radunitsa”) the author appears to us as a fiery patriot. Thus, in the poem “Go away, my dear Rus'!”, written in the style of a Russian folk song, the poet shouts to the whole country:
- “If the Holy Army shouts:
- “Throw away Rus', live in paradise!”
- I will say: “There is no need for heaven,
- Give me my homeland!”
- Yesenin’s homeland is the village of Konstantinovo, where he was born, in the immediate vicinity of the village. “The Ryazan fields were my country,” he later recalled. In his soul there is still no idea of \u200b\u200bthe fatherland as a social, political, cultural environment. His sense of homeland finds expression in him so far only in love for his native nature.
- But even then the homeland does not appear to him as an idyllic “transcendental paradise.” The poet loves the real peasant Rus' on the eve of October. In his poems we find such expressive details that speak of the hard life of the peasants, such as “worried huts”, “lean fields”, “black, then smelling howl” and others.
- On the pages of Yesenin’s early lyrics we see a modest, but beautiful, majestic and dear to the poet’s heart landscape of the Central Russian strip: compressed fields, a red-yellow fire of an autumn grove, the mirror surface of lakes. The poet feels like a part of his native nature and is ready to merge with it forever: “I would like to get lost in the greenery of your hundred-bellied greenery.”
- Elements of sociality increasingly appear in the poet’s lyrics during World War I: his heroes are a child asking for a piece of bread; plowmen going to war; a girl waiting from the front for her beloved. “Sad song, you are Russian pain!” - exclaims the poet.
- The renewal of the village appears to the poet as an invasion of a hostile, “bad”, “iron guest”, against whom the nature opposed to him is defenseless. And Yesenin feels like “the last poet of the village.” He believes that man, transforming the earth, necessarily destroys its beauty. A unique expression of this view of a new life was a foal trying in vain to overtake a steam locomotive:
- “Dear, dear, funny fool,
- But where is he, where is he going?
- Doesn't he really know that live horses
- Did the steel cavalry win?
- “No other homeland will pour my warmth into my chest.” Admiring the “blue homeland of Ferdowsi,” he does not forget for a minute that “no matter how beautiful Shiraz is, it is no better than the expanses of Ryazan.”
- Admiration for the beauty of the native land, a depiction of the difficult life of the people, the dream of a “peasant paradise”, rejection of urban civilization and the desire to comprehend “Soviet Rus'”, a feeling of international unity with every inhabitant of the planet and the “love for the native land” remaining in the heart - this is the evolution of the theme of the native lands in Yesenin's lyrics.
- He sang joyfully, selflessly, sublimely and purely about Great Rus', a sixth of the earth:
- "I will chant
- With the whole being in the poet
- Sixth of the land
- With a short name “Rus!”
- Sergei Yesenin and Isadora Duncan
- An event in Yesenin’s life was a meeting with the American dancer Isadora Duncan (autumn 1921), who six months later became his wife. A joint trip to Europe (Germany, Belgium, France, Italy) and America (May 1922 - August 1923), accompanied by noisy scandals and Yesenin’s shocking antics, revealed their “mutual understanding,” aggravated by the literal lack of a common language (Yesenin did not speak foreign languages, Isadora learned several dozen Russian words). Upon returning to Russia they separated.
- Once again Yesenin is trying to start a family life, but his union with S. A. Tolstoy (granddaughter of L. N. Tolstoy) was not happy. At the end of November 1925, exhausted by wandering and bivouac life, the poet ended up in a psychoneurological clinic.
- One of his last works was the poem “The Black Man” (“My friend, my friend, I am very, very sick...”), in which the past life appears as part of a nightmare.
- After interrupting the course of treatment,
- On December 23, Yesenin went to Leningrad, where on the night of December 28, in a state of deep mental depression, he committed suicide at the Angleterre Hotel.
