Sergei Yesenin is loved like probably no other poet in the world. And all at once - both his poems and himself as a person. But if you look at his life and work a little more closely, harsh and irreconcilable questions immediately arise. Yesenin - a Soviet poet or anti-Soviet? A Christian poet or an atheist? A poet for the provincial public and languid girls or an innovator influencing world poetry to this day? A peasant poet or an imagist? Who did he consider his main rival in poetry and why? Who was he truly friends with? What were his relationships with Bolshevik leaders like? How many children did he have and how many wives? Whom of his women did he truly love, finally? Did he drink or was that made up by jealous people? And if he drank - who enabled him? Why were criminal cases brought against him? Was he a hooligan, as he wrote about himself, or a victim of circumstances? What was he doing for that year and a half while living outside of Soviet Russia? And finally, suicide or murder? The book provides answers not only to all the questions listed, but to many others. Zakhar Prilepin vividly and uniquely, day by day, tells the story of Sergei Yesenin's life, making unexpected conclusions and causing deep empathy.
