Education:
In 1904 he entered the Konstantinovskoye four-year zemstvo school.
In 1909, he graduated from the school with a certificate of honor and continued his studies at the parish second-grade teachers' school in Spas-Klepiki.

Literary activity:
The first poem, “Birch,” was published in 1914 in the children’s magazine “Mirok” under the pseudonym “Ariston.”

In 1915, he moved to Petrograd, where he met Alexander Blok, Sergei Gorodetsky, and other poets. His first collection, "Radunitsa," was published in 1916.

At different periods of his career, his poems reflected social democratic ideas, images of revolution and the Motherland, villages and nature, love and the search for happiness.

In 1918, he became one of the founders of Imagism, a movement in which the creation of an image was proclaimed the main goal of poetry.

Among his famous works are the cycle “Persian Motifs”, the poem “The Black Man”, and the poems “I do not regret, I do not call, I do not cry…”, “Goodbye, my friend, goodbye…”.

Sergei Alexandrovich Yesenin (September 21 (October 3), 1895 – December 28, 1925) was a Russian and Soviet poet and writer, one of the leading figures of the Silver Age. His work is distinguished by its profound lyricism, insight, and imagery, and the themes of love, nature, homeland, and the poet's fate have become a landmark in literary tradition.

Short red curls, blue eyes. About 26 years old, pale, thin, tall. Smart, calm, brave, a little cunning.

He was born in St. Petersburg to an intelligent noble family. His father was Alexander Lvovich Blok, a lawyer and professor at the University of Warsaw. His mother was Alexandra Andreyevna, née Beketova, daughter of the rector of St. Petersburg University.

Blok spent almost his entire childhood at his grandfather, the scientist Andrei Beketov's Shakhmatovo estate near Moscow. The house was filled with books and conversations about art and nature—all of which influenced the future poet's work.

In 1891, Blok entered the second grade of the Vvedenskaya Gymnasium. He graduated from the gymnasium in 1898, and in August of that year, he entered the law faculty of St. Petersburg University. Three years later, he transferred to the Slavic-Russian department of the Faculty of History and Philology, graduating in 1906.
