Description 
Konstantinovo is a village where one of the most talented poets of Russia -Sergei Esenin- was born. The house behind us used to be a home for local "pomezhik" or the owner of the surrounded land. After 1917 the house was "confiscated" by Bolsheviks. Nowadays, it is the Sergei Esenin's museum.

Yesenin, Sergey Aleksandrovich (1895--1925)
Born Oct. 3 [Sept. 21, old style], 1895, in Yesenino [formerly Konstantinovo], Ryazan province, Russia. Married four times. Died in Dec. 27, 1925. The self-styled "last poet of wooden Russia," with a dual image: a devout and simple peasant singer as well as a rowdy and blasphemous exhibitionist.
Yesenin left home at 17, and gained literary success with his first volume Radunitsa (1916, Mourning for the Dead). Yesenin welcomed the Revolution as the social and spiritual transformation that would lead to the peasant millennium he envisioned in his next book, Inoniya (1918; "Otherland"). In 1920's he became a habituî`f the literary caf÷Ÿof Moscow, where he gave poetry recitals and drank excessively. In 1922 he married for the third time, to Isadora Duncan (he was 17 years younger than her) and accompanied her on tour, during which he smashed suites in the best hotels in Europe in drunken rampages. They visited the United States, their quarrels and public scenes duly observed in the world press. On their separation Yesenin returned to Russia. For some time he had been writing the consciously cynical, swaggering tavern poetry that appeared in Ispoved khuligana (1921; "Confessions of a Hooligan") and Moskva kabatskaya (1924; "Moscow of the Taverns"). His verse barely concealed the sense of self-depreciation that was overwhelming him. He married again, a granddaughter of Tolstoy, but continued to drink heavily and to take cocaine. In 1924 he tried to go home again but found the village peasants quoting Soviet slogans, when he himself had not been able to read five pages of Marx. Tormented by guilt that he had been unable to fulfill the messianic role of poet of the people, he tried to get in step with the national trend. In the poem "Neuyutnaya zhidkaya lunnost" (1925; "Desolate, Thin Moonlight"), he went so far as to praise stone and steel as the secret of Russia's coming strength. But another poem, "The Stern October Has Deceived Me," bluntly voiced his alienation from Bolshevik Russia. His last major work, the confessional poem "Cherny chelovek" ("The Black Man"), is a ruthless self-castigation for his failures. In 1925 he was briefly hospitalized for a nervous breakdown. Soon after, he hanged himself in a Leningrad hotel, St. Petersburg, having written his last poem ("Goodbye, my friend..") in his own blood.
