Sergei Alexandrovich Yesenin was a loving man. And women were fascinated by this handsome poet. It is not surprising that Yesenin had several civil and official marriages.
Sergei Yesenin is a truly national Russian poet. His poems, testimonies of his contemporaries tell us that although he lived a short but stormy life. Over the years, Sergey Alexandrovich managed not only to create many poetic masterpieces, but also to marry several times, to give birth to four children.
Anna Izryadnova and Zinaida Reich
The great Russian poet had 3 official and as many civil wives. The first lover of Sergei Alexandrovich was Anna Romanovna Izryadnova. Young people met at the printing house. Anna already worked here. And since 1913 Yesenin began to work in this printing house. Soon, the boy and girl began to live together, and 1914 marked the completion of the family. Sergei and Anna had a son, who was named Yuri.
As the wife of the poet Yesenin recalls, although her husband was only 19 years old at that time, he became a wonderful father. When Izryadnova returned with the baby from the hospital, the apartment was in perfect order. So Sergey prepared for the arrival of his wife and first-born. At first Yesenin was a wonderful father - he sang lullabies to his son, rocked him. But a month later the poet was tired of this role and began to live separately. He occasionally visited Anna with a child.
The son loved his father very much. When the child grew a little, he knew by heart all the poems of Sergei Alexandrovich. The fate of Yuri was tragic. In 1936, he was arrested on a denunciation, and shot in 1937. His mother, until her death in 1970, was waiting for the return of her beloved son. After all, she was not told what really happened. Officially, Anna Romanovna was informed that her son was sentenced to 10 years in prison. In 1956, Yuri Yesenin was rehabilitated.
The first official wife of the great poet was Zinaida Nikolaevna Reich. They got married in 1917. And a year later the family replenished, the daughter Tatyana was born. Two years later, the son of Kostya was born. But since the couple often had to leave because of official and personal need, their marriage soon broke up. Young officially divorced in 1921. Then Zinaida Nikolaevna married Vsevolod Meyerhold. Reich's life ended tragically. In the summer of 1939, a woman was killed in her apartment. This incident is associated with the NKVD, as it happened shortly after the arrest of her new husband Meyerhold.
Galina Benislavskaya and Isadora Duncan
In November 1920, Sergei Yesenin was at a literary evening and met here with Galina Benislavskaya. Soon, young people began a close relationship.
But the poet had a loving heart. When Sergey Alexandrovich’s birthday was celebrated in October 1921, the dancer Isadora Duncan was brought here. At that time she was 46 years old. The American ballerina saw the beautiful poet, heard Yesenin read poetry and immediately fell in love with him. That evening, Yesenin left for the mansion of the American dancer, and Benislavskaya remained alone in her room.
Isadora did everything to make her beloved, who was almost two times younger than her. She paid for binges, fruit, wine - everything that Sergey loved.
But when Isadora realized that he was drunk, she took Esenin to her homeland in America. Here the couple officially married. Yesenin was glad that he was now the husband of the famous foreigner.
But abroad, the poet did not have such glory as in Russia. Yes, and the former passion for Duncan has subsided. Therefore, over time, Sergei returned to his homeland.
Here he was in love with Galina Benislavskaya. The poet returned to her room in a communal apartment. The woman tried to do everything for him: she upholstered the editorial thresholds to knock out fees, tried to discourage buddy buddies. But Yesenin said that he sees in her only a friend.
Galina loved this joker so much that after his death she ended up in a psychiatric hospital. Then the girl went to the grave of her lover and shot herself.
Her dream so terribly came true - to be with Yesenin. After all, the 29-year-old Galina was buried next to her lover.
