The dark biography of Yesenin

Vladimir Filatov on March 08 is good, bad, evil: the reverse side of the life of Sergei Yesenin, whom you would not want to know about. Part 3 everyone knows that Sergey Yesenin was a hooligan, but few people want to know what “dark beast” was hiding behind this word and why it happened. The story about this will be long, and one of you may be hurt. How much more did I have to walk on this troubled, excited land?

Sergey Yesenin, the year of N. The author of this opus recalls that Sergei Yesenin was a complex creative nature, that his character and behavior is not limited to the testimonies and conclusions presented in the essay, that in addition to the “scandalous”, mentally unhealthy and deeply unhappy person, was still a gentle, sensitive, affectionate and kind Seryozha Yesenin. Galina Benislavskaya in Galina’s room, he lived for about a year, but all attempts to achieve his own living space were in vain.

They did not help either in the secretariat of Trotsky, who appreciated the poet’s work, nor in the Moscow Council at Kamenev - the apartments in Moscow were primarily received by responsible workers. Yesenin remained homeless. Even in the year, he complained in one of the letters: “I somehow live in a bivouine, without a shelter and without a haven, because different loafers began to go home and bother.

They see them, it's nice to drink with me! I don’t even know how to get rid of such a thug, but it became ashamed and sorry to cure yourself. ” Yesenin was terribly tormented, having no constant refuge. He spent the night with us, then on the Theological, then somewhere else, like a homeless dog, wandering and not having the opportunity to work calmly or live calmly.

Anna Nazarova Sergey was very grateful to Benislavskaya, who not only sheltered him, but also picked up all the affairs of the arrangement of manuscripts and books. However, knowing that she was in love with the poet, he openly twisted the romances with other women and periodically traveled to visit the Isador: having broken with her, he still wanted to see her at least once a week.

Galina described these adventures in her diary, but they caused her much less rage than the meeting and the libation of Yesenin with “friends”. Numerous drinking companions literally soldered the poet, drunk at his expense, provoking him to scandals and antics, after which they carried rumors and gossip throughout Moscow. Many envied Yesenin and were satisfied with the constant hooligan racing of Sergei Alexandrovich.

Regularly Benislavskaya found him in zucchini and evil places and dragged him home: without reproaches and pity for her share. Galina Benislava writer Boris Poleva recalled: ... It is difficult to even establish how many literary pimps lived and drunk at the expense of Yesenin’s name and pocket, dragging an unfortunate poet in all taverns, dragging his name and execution by his most vile moral torture.

” During this period, Yesenin’s life is endless binges interspersing with short enlightenment, it is a series of rise and falls to the very bottom, it is changing cruelty and affection, jealousy and infidelity. During periods of sobriety from under the arms of Sergey, surprisingly sensual and piercing poems came out, for the most part very sad. Galina Serebryakova recalled a meeting with the poet in the year: “In the first moment of dating, I doubted: was it Esenin, whom I saw in early youth, once going to the poets in Tverskaya?

He was then beautiful, like Oleographic Ivan Tsarevich, putting on a cylinder, with the hair of the rye field and eyes like blue backs. Only five years have passed since then, but how it changed! Sergey Yesenin. A particularly painful impression was made on me by his skinny neck, which he tried to cover with a white cash. An elegant, foreign suit only emphasized his excessive thinness.

Voronsky once inappropriately spoke that Yesenin was suspected of throat consumption, and whispered to me about a white fever. By nine, many guests gathered for nine, and Yesenin turned to me with a hoarse, torn voice with a request to read his poems. Several times he repeated in the conversation: “How much more did I have to walk along this troubled, excited land?

I happened to meet a great poet when he, seriously ill, was painfully tormented by his thoughts about death. He carried a tragedy in himself. " Nikolai Klyuyev, Sergey Yesenin, Vsevolod Ivanov, the year seems to not look exhausted and skinny in the same year, Yesenin had a purely platonic romance with actress Augustus Mikravskaya, whom the poet dedicated 7 tender and quiet poems cycle “Love of the Hooligan”: ...

I spat on these icons, I honored and screaming in the story, and now suddenly grow words meek songs. I do not want to fly to Zenit, too much the body needs. Why is your name ringing like August coolness? Well, you understand, right? August, August coolness. According to Mikravskaya, Sergey really liked this find.August Mikravskaya Tender feelings by August Mikravskaya and their meetings favorably affected the general state of the poet: this is also traced in verses that are filled with love, promises to make with scandals and bitter regret that there is no need to wait for no development of romantic relations.

The Audio block was not available later by Mikravskaya recalled their meetings: ““ I, as a gymnasium student ... ”Yesenin told me quietly, surprised to me and smiled. Often met in the cafes of the poets "Stall of Pegasus" on Tverskaya, sat together, quietly talked. Yesenin sober was very shy. He almost never ate in public. He hid his hands, they seemed ugly to him.

A lot said about his rudeness with women. But I have never felt a hint of rudeness. ” Either Yesenin was tired of drunkenness, rowal and illness, or tender feelings for August forced him to reconsider his views on life, but one way or another he tries to be better: to drink less, not to succumb to provocations, in his work “says goodbye to hooliganism”. Was it enough for a long time?

No, not enough. The case of “four poets” and the consequences in December of the year Sergei Alexandrovich were judged by the “case of four poets”, accusing him not only of hooliganism, drunkenness and rowdy, but also of anti -Semitism. Unpublished poems appeared as evidence, in which the line “Trotsky, Lenin and Bukharin” rhymes with the line “their inconspicuous Hari”.

True, he said that "I scandalized well, I scandalized the Russian revolution." In the same trial, his associates confirmed the alcoholism and the painful state of the poet: the poets Mariengof and Rabinovich noted that Yesenin was completely drained, that he was dangerously sick, that he was close to white fever and that he must be treated. The same August, Mikravskaya sincerely wondered why the deep and sensual Yesenin has a friendship with such a person unlike him, and noticed: “Reading the“ Romance without a lie ”Mariengof memoirs - approx.

August Miklashevskaya had a good impression of Sergey Yesenin after the trial Sergei Alexandrovich fell into a dispensing disordered shock for about a month. In January of the year, he left the hospital and already on the 20th of the same month arranged a drunken brawl in a cafe, turning the tables and chairs, and on February 9 repeated his feat in the literary cafe “Stall of Pegasus”, which is well known to us.

Free drunkenness did not last long: in mid -February, Yesenin, being pretty poisoned by alcohol, accidentally broke the glass, deeply cut his left hand and fell into the Sheremetyevsky hospital now. Much later, 2 days before his death, the poet complained to his friend: “And you know, because I will be dry! He extends his left hand and tries to move his fingers. Barely walk.

I already had a doctor. He says-a hand will last five or six years, maybe more, but sooner or later it will dry. The tendons, he says, are cut, therefore the coffin. He shook his head and gasped sadly: - And my white little one disappeared ... But by the way, a jester with her! Having removed their heads ... How do people say? At the beginning of the year, she worked as the editor of the Department of Peasant Literature of the Gosizdat.

Berzin pressed Yesenin’s attending physician, and he transferred the poet to the Kremlin hospital, where the police could not get. Calm off the inaccessibility of the police and the began the troubles of Anna Berzin about her own apartment for him, Yesenin in the hospital works on the poems “The country of the villains” and “Black Man”, and also writes a penetrating lyrics.

An attentive reader will say that by the year the “country of the villains” was already written, in fact, what was working on there? There were edits. For example: it was.
