about the October Revolution. Unlike Mayakovsky, he did not ridicule the
shortcomings of Soviet society or, like Blok, horrified by the carnage that later
became known as the Civil War. Coming from a rural background, he was first and
foremost concerned with the question of what the revolution would achieve for the
ordinary peasant.
Having left for Moscow to become a true poet, Yesenin could return to his
native village of Konstantinovo only in 1924. It was after this trip that the poem
'Soviet Russia' was written, thanks to which the author once again fell into
disgrace. However, with a premonition of his imminent death, Yesenin no longer
wanted to be squandered on trivialities. Moreover, what he saw in his native
village, so impressed the author, perhaps for the first time in his life, he was
confused and doubted his work, which suddenly turned out to be useless.
Returning home, the poet was struck by the fact that virtually no one he
knew remained among his fellow villagers. "But I have no one to bow my hat to, I
find no shelter in anyone's eyes," the poet remarked. His ancestral home was burnt
and turned into a pile of ashes, but no one paid attention to the dearly dressed man
who stopped by the ashes for some reason, and no one recognized in this lonely
wanderer the poet, who had addressed most of his works to these simple and
illiterate people, seeking a better life. He observes that "the language of my fellow
citizens has become like a foreign tongue, in my own country I am as a foreigner.
And the worst thing is that the person responsible for the "murder" of the native
Russian language, smooth, picturesque and beautiful, which since childhood the
poet absorbed in his native village, is the revolution. It gave birth to the "crooked
tongues" of the proletariat, to Demian Bedny's rhyming agitations, which
"cheerfully shout the long way".
