Yesenin Personal biography

St. Petersburg 2nd Krasnoarmeyskaya St. The first printed poem “Birch” appeared in the year in the Children's magazine “Mirok”. Five years later, he joined the Imazhinists community. He himself spoke of his work: “My lyrics are alive with one great love, love for the Motherland. The sense of the Motherland is the main thing in my work. ” There were three children in the family: in addition to their son, parents raised their daughters Katya and Sasha.

In the year, they had a single -war brother Alexander, whom Tatyana Fedorovna gave birth to a long disgrace with her husband. Expharsen, the poet’s sister, the poet’s sister, wrote about the parents and about this period in her memoirs: our father, Alexander Nikitich Yesenin, sang in the church choir. He had a wonderful discant. Throughout the district, he was taken to the rich to weddings and funerals.

When he was twelve years old, his grandmother was offered to give him to the Ryazan cathedral to the singer. Father did not agree, and instead of the cathedral he was sent to Moscow to the butcher's shop with a “boy”. Two years later, grandmother spent his second son to Moscow - Vanya. He became a tin. Six years later, our father became a butcher. He was eighteen years old when he came to the village to marry.

Our mother - Tatyana Fedorovna - was not even seventeen years old when she got married. Soon after the wedding, his father went to work in Moscow, his wife remained in the village with her mother -in -law. Two years later, Uncle Vanya married. There were two skills in the house. Troubles began. Uncle Vanya did not send anything home. The father sent everything that would work, Agrafena Pankratievna.

Because of this, there were quarrels between her and our mother. Father loved his mother very much and did not even want to hear about the section with her. Then our mother left the Esenins' house and did not live with her father for five years. In the year, the mother returned to the Yesenins' House, but the world did not come, and so it was up to a year until the brothers were divided.

When the mother left the family and left for Ryazan, Grandfather, Fedor Andreevich Titov, was engaged in little Seryozha at that time. He told his grandson a fairy tale in the evenings, sang folk songs to him, put him to sleep next to him on the stove. The boy had many relatives with whom he spent days of carefree childhood. Uncle Petya, mother’s brother, taught him to weave baskets, make whistles, beautiful sticks.

Uncle Sasha trusted his nephew to drive horses, took him with him in the field and to the forest. Grandmother taught to pray and now and then fed little Seryozha with various goodies. In spring and summer, Seryozha spent whole days on the oka or in meadows. He brought home a fish, duck eggs, anively caught crayfish. The feuds between her parents continued: Tatyana Fedorovna decided to divorce Alexander Nikitich and pick up her passport from him, but her husband refused a divorce and did not give his passport.

So in the end, the mother returned home, leaving the youngest son Sasha in the care of the nurse of Ekaterina Razgulaeva. Yesenin learned about the existence of a single -military brother much later, and this knowledge did not delight him. The boy managed to study well at a rural school, grabbed the knowledge of the raid. The father, who worked in Moscow, once brought his son a gift - two frames under the glass.

In one, he placed Seryozha’s certificate of the end of the elementary school, in the other - a commendable sheet for excellent performance. Such a reward for their Konstantinov was a rarity, his father was very proud of the success of his son. Soon, the boy was taken to study in the second-class teacher school in Spas-caps, and he began to come home only for the holidays.

Yesenin did not like the new school, he wanted to quit his studies and go to his father in Moscow. But his friend Grisha Panfilov studied with him, who persuaded Sergey to stay.

Yesenin finished his studies, and only after that Alexander Nikitich took his son to the capital and staged a merchant Krylov, where he himself was a clerk. Sergey did not like work. When the case appeared to get an assistant to the corrector in the printing house, he immediately took advantage of it. There he started his first acquaintances with the creative youth of the Surikovsky literary and musical circle and, under the influence of new friends, became a free listener of the historical and philosophical elective at the Moscow City People's University.

Talking about this time, Yesenin later wrote in his improvised biography: I began to write poetry early, about nine years old, but I attribute conscious creativity by years. Some verses of these years are placed in Radunitsa. I was surprised for eighteen years, sending my poems from magazines, by the fact that they were not printed, and went to Petersburg. They accepted me very cordially there.

The first one I saw was a block, the second - Gorodetsky. When I looked at the block, sweat dripped from me, because for the first time I saw a living poet. Gorodetsky brought me to Klyuyev, which I had not heard a word about before. With Klyuyev, we have a great friendship with our internal vocation. Of the modern poets, I liked the most block, White and Klyuyev.

White gave me a lot in the sense of form, and Blok and Klyuyev taught me lyricalness. The work of Sergei Yesenin has become a significant year for the poet - his poems began to be published in Moscow publications.At first, these were poems for children in the magazine "Mirok", then the poem "Blacksmithing" in the Bolshevik newspaper "Path of Pravda".

Soon, Yesenin began to burden Moscow, he decided to move to St. Petersburg. There he became a member of the association of peasant writers “Beauty”, began to dress in a village manner and first learned what public success was at a literary evening, breaking a standing ovation. After the collapse of “Beauty”, Sergey signed up for the creative association “Suffeur”. The trouble was that the performances did not bring money, he was starving, eating a penny a day.

In the year, the first book of the poet called “Radunitsa” was published, which made him famous not only in literary circles. Together with Nikolai Klyuyev, Yesenin gave poetry evenings, performed in Tsarskoye Selo in front of the empress and her daughters. In one of his biographies, the poet recalled that period: in the year he was called up for military service.

With some patronage of Colonel Loman, the adjutant of the Empress, he was represented to many benefits. He lived in Tsarskoye near the intelligence of Ivanov. At the request of Loman, he once read poetry to the empress. After reading my poems, she said that my poems are beautiful, but very sad. I answered her that this is all of Russia. He referred to poverty, climate, and so on.

The February Revolution found the poet at the front, in one of the disciplinary battalions. Yesenin landed there for the refusal to write a poem in honor of the king. Instead, he wrote the freedom -loving poems of Mikola and behind the dark strand of the copses. Later he arbitrarily left the army of Alexander Kerensky, as he himself said: "... living by a deserter, he worked with the Socialist -Revolutionaries not as a party, but as a poet." During the split of the party, he went with the left group, was in the combat squad, and Petrograd left with the Soviet regime.

Up to a year from the pen of Sergei Alexandrovich, poems of a revolutionary orientation came out: “Comrade”, “Singing Call”, “Success”. Arriving in Moscow, Yesenin created collections of poems “Pigeon”, “Transfiguration”, “Rural Chasos”. In addition, he composed two more poems with biblical motives - “Inonia” and “Jordanian blue”. And the poem "Sorokoust" became his personal weeping about the fate of the peasantry during the formation of Soviet power, the breakdown of all its foundations.

At the end of the year, the intense period of searching for new forms began. Yesenin considered him necessary: ​​the urgent need for the implementation of the image of the image prompted us to the need to publish the manifesto of the Imazhinists. We were the initiators of the new strip in the era of art, and we had to fight for a long time. During our war, we renamed the streets in our names and painted a passionate monastery in the words of our poems.

Yesenin himself, in the period, wrote several collections of poems - “Confession of a bully”, “Poems of a scandalist”, “Moscow Kabatskaya”. The hype was caused by the poem "Pugachev". He traveled with performances in the country, visited the Urals and Tashkent, Orenburg and Samarkand. In letters to friends, Yesenin shared his impression: what to say ... about this terrible kingdom of philistinism, which borders on idiocy?

Except for foxtrot, there is almost nothing there. They eat and drink here, and again Foxtrot. In a terrible fashion, Mr. dollar, to the art of spitting, is the highest museum-cold. I didn’t even want to publish books here, despite the cheapness of paper and translations. No one needs it here. If the book market is Europe, and the critic is Lviv-Rogachevsky, then it’s stupid to write poetry to them for the sake of and to their taste.

Here everything is ironed, licked and combed. Birds poop with permission and sit, where they are allowed ....
