Zinaida Reich

In the spring of 1917, in the editorial office of one of the newspapers, he met the secretary-typist Zinaida Nikolaevna Reich, his same age. In the history of the Soviet theater she is mentioned as an actress, but at the time they met, such an actress did not exist - Reich played her first role only at the age of 30. Three months after they met, the wedding took place - while passing through, in Vologda. Sergei did not live with her permanently, although she gave birth to two children from him - Tatyana (1918) and Konstantin (1920).

In 1918, Yesenin returned to Moscow again and, after a short friendship with the poets of Proletkult, joined the Imagists. Together with Mariengof, they acquired a bookstore on Bolshaya Nikitskaya, and then the Pegasus Stable on Tverskaya. Mariengof in “A Novel Without Lies” mentioned Zinaida Reich: “Yesenin’s wife, Zinaida Nikolaevna Reich, came from Orel. She brought her daughter with her: she had to show her to her father. Tanya was not yet a year old then. And our bosom friend Mikhail showed up from Penza Molabukh... And in addition - Tanyushka, as they wrote in the old books, “was a tenacious little thing, did not leave her living chair”; from her nanny’s lap - to Zinaida Nikolaevna, from her - to Molabukh, from him - to me. Only fatherly.” “She didn’t recognize the living chair as anything. And they resorted to cunning, and flattery, and bribery, and severity - all in vain.”

And then, as Mariengof said, Yesenin asked a friend to help him send Zinaida back to Orel. “... I can’t live with Zinaida... I told her that she doesn’t want to understand... She won’t leave, that’s all... she won’t leave for anything... I got it into my head: “You love me, Sergun, I know this and I don’t want to know anything else..." Tell her, Tolya, that I have another woman." Tolya said as Yesenin ordered, and Zinaida Reich and her daughter left for Oryol. And Mariengof also talked about how Yesenin “met” the son whom Zinaida Reich bore to him. “I forgot to tell you. By chance, on the platform of the Rostov station, I ran into Zinaida Nikolaevna Reich. She was traveling to Kislovodsk. In the winter, Zinaida Nikolaevna gave birth to a boy. I asked Yesenin on the phone: “What to call?” Yesenin thought and thought, choosing a non-literary name, and said : “Konstantin." After the baptism, he realized: “Damn it, but Balmont’s name is Konstantin.” He didn’t go to see his son. Noticing me on the Rostov platform, talking with Reich, Yesenin described a semicircle on his heels and, jumping onto the rail, went to reverse side... Zinaida Nikolaevna asked: “Tell Seryozha that I’m going with Kostya. He hasn’t seen him. Let him come in and take a look. If he doesn’t want to meet me, I can leave the compartment.” Yesenin nevertheless went into the compartment to look at his son. Looking at the boy, he said that he was black, and Yesenins are not black." Later, someone also recalled that Z. Reich, already living with Meyerhold, demanded money from Yesenin for their daughter’s education.

Because The poet's mother was married not of her own free will, but soon she and her young son went to live with her parents. After some time, Tatyana Fedorovna went to work in Ryazan, and Sergei remained in the care of the Titov grandparents.

The poet’s first common-law wife, Anna Izryadnova, describes Yesenin in those years: “He was reputed to be a leader, attended meetings, distributed illegal literature. Pounced on books, that's all free time I read, I spent all my salary on books, magazines, I didn’t think at all about how to live...”
