Born on September 21 (October 3), 1895 in the village. Konstantinovo of the Ryazan province in the family of a peasant.
Education in Yesenin's biography was obtained at the local Zemstvo school (1904-1909), then until 1912 - in the classroom of the parish school. In 1913 he entered the city people's university of Shanyavsky in Moscow.

After meeting the dancer Isadora Duncan in 1921, Yesenin would soon marry her. Before that he lived with A.R. After the wedding with Duncan traveled to Europe, USA. Their marriage was short - in 1923 the couple broke up, and Yesenin returned to Moscow.

In the further work of Yesenin, Russian leaders were described very critically (1925, “Country of villains”). In the same year in the life of Yesenin, the publication “Soviet Russia” was published.
In the fall of 1925, the poet marries the granddaughter of L. Tolstoy - Sofya Andreevna. Depression, alcohol addiction, pressure from the authorities caused the new wife to place Sergei in a neuropsychiatric hospital.
Then, in the biography of Sergei Yesenin, there was an escape to Leningrad. And on December 28, 1925 Yesenin died, his body was found hanged at the Angleterre Hotel.

Yesenin was well educated, read a lot, but did not know languages ​​at all. He could not speak English with his wife Isadora, and she barely spoke Russian. Living abroad, he spoke with foreigners with the help of an interpreter.
Yesenin became a father quite early - at the age of 18. The first child from a civil marriage with Anna Izryadnova was the son of Yuri, who was shot on false charges of attempted murder of Stalin in 1937.
Yesenin's ideological literary opponent was of course Mayakovsky, who belonged to the Futurists. Poets could publicly belittle each other's work, but each of them had a high opinion of the other's talent.
The mystery of the death of the poet is still unsolved. In addition to the version with suicide, there is also the assumption of political murder, which was staged as suicide.
