Sergei Esenin with His Mother, 1924: A Tender Moment in the Life of a Tormented Poet This poignant photograph captures a rare moment of respite in the turbulent life of Russian poet, Sergei Esenin. Born in 1895 in the village of Konstantinovo, Esenin's early years were marked by poverty and hardship. His mother, Anna Esenina, played a significant role in nurturing his love for poetry and literature. In this image, Esenin, then in his late twenties, is seen sitting next to his mother on a bench, their hands intertwined. The tenderness and warmth between them stand in stark contrast to the turmoil and anguish that would come to define Esenin's later years. Esenin's poetry, raw and emotional, resonated deeply with the Russian people, particularly during the tumultuous years of the Russian Revolution. His works reflected the struggles and hopes of the common man, and his performances were known to bring audiences to tears. However, Esenin's personal life was marked by tragedy and self-destruction. He was known for his excessive drinking and womanizing, and his volatile temperament often led to public outbursts and scandals. In 1925, at the age of just 30, Esenin took his own life by jumping in front of a train. This photograph, taken in 1924, offers a glimpse into a moment of tranquility in the life of a man whose art would continue to inspire and move generations. The tender connection between Esenin and his mother serves as a poignant reminder of the human side of a poet whose works continue to resonate with readers today.
