Category: Culture How Sergey Yesenin and Isadora Duncan got married
Text: Anton Sekisov
Isadora Duncan came to Moscow at the invitation of the People's Commissar of Education Lunacharsky to open a dance school.
Isadora at that time was already a recognized world star and an elderly, tired of life woman, who had many unhappy affairs and two children who died under tragic circumstances.
Yesenin, despite his youth - at the time of their meeting he was 26 - was a jaded metropolitan poet, one of the brightest bohemian heroes of post revolutionary Russia.
Crowds of female fans chased him.
Sergey and Isadora met at one of the receptions of the artist Georgy Yakulov.
Before that, the poet tried to get acquainted with the dancer repeatedly - and each time they were separated by chance, as if protecting Yesenin from the tragic meeting that eventually became.
And finally he saw her performing a dance with a scarf.
Yesenin was shocked.
The shock only intensified when, accepting congratulations from fans, the dancer kissed the poet on the lips in front of everyone with her usual spontaneity.
That same evening, a couple of hours later, Isadora was already lying impressively on the sofa, and the poet was kneeling beside her.
She stroked his hair and spoke with an accent: "For la taya ga la va...".

Soon Yesenin moved to her on Prechistenka Street.
Sergey and Isadora spoke different languages, but they did not part with each other.
"He read his poems to me," Isadora told Ilya Schneider, the translator and director of the Dance School.
"I didnot understand anything, but I hear that this is music, and that these poems were written by a genius!"
The whole bohemian Moscow followed the novel of the poet and the dancer.
Fortunately, they led a public life, regularly appearing at receptions and literary evenings - she danced, he read poetry.
Isadora called Yesenin "Angel", Yesenin called her "Isadora".
Yesenin's friends were dissatisfied that Duncan had taken "their Seryozha", while Isadora's Moscow acquaintances were amazed at the submissiveness with which she accepted the poet's often offensive antics.
Yesenin often got drunk, it happened that Duncan also beat him.
The inconsistency of their relationship was reflected in the" Novel without Lies "by Yesenin's closest friend, Anatoly Marienhoff:" Yesenin subsequently became her master, her master.
She, like a dog, kissed the hand that he raised for a blow, and her eyes, in which hatred for her burned more often than love.
And yet he was only a partner, he was like a piece of pink cloth weak willed and tragic.
She was dancing.
She led the dance."
Duncan's Moscow life stopped developing - the Soviet government did not give her the opportunities for realization that she had hoped for, at the same time, the dancer was invited to tour the United States and Western Europe, besides, Isadora's mother died in Paris, and the dancer decided to leave Russia for a while.
Yesenin did not want to let Duncan go and went with her - for this they had to get married.
The couple registered their marriage in the Khamovnichesky registry office - both began to bear the double surname Duncan Yesenin.
"Now I'm Duncan," Yesenin repeated joyfully as he left.

After spending several happy months in Europe, still somewhat overshadowed by Yesenin's homesickness, the couple went to the States, where their love began to crumble.
Isadora tried in every possible way to promote her husband as a poet - she managed to organize the translation and publication of his poems, she arranged poetry readings, but Yesenin was perceived here only as a nice addition, almost as a toy of a famous dancer.
The proud Yesenin suffered, felt total loneliness, uselessness, which made him ill with depression.
He drank more and more often and arranged scandals, thus still getting on the front pages of American newspapers, but, again, as the eccentric husband of the incomparable, great Isadora.
Quarrels and scandals happened more and more often - it got to the point that Duncan had to call the police.
Yesenin ended up in a psychiatric clinic.
Soon they returned to Russia together, but now, in conversations with friends, Yesenin spoke coldly about Isadora: "She's stuck, she sticks like molasses!".
Marienhof writes about that period: "Yesenin left Prechistenka broken.
And from his fateful wedding trip to Europe and the two Americas (damn it, this is a wedding trip!) he returned to Moscow in 1923 - broken"
Isadora left Yesenin for Paris - there she received a telegram in which Yesenin announced the breakup of their relationship.
Two years after the separation, Sergei Yesenin hanged himself in the Angleterre Hotel, and a year and a half later, Isadora also died from strangulation, her long scarf fell into the axle of a car wheel on the move, and the noose tightened.
