Did the Russian poet Esenin hang himself?

The famous Soviet poet Sergei? The famous Soviet poet Sergei Esenin was very talented and his poems were highly praised. But he hanged himself at the age of 30 at the height of his creative powers. The world was shocked, and the Soviet poetry scene was deprived of an outstanding poet. What was the reason that drove the poet to self-destruction? What motivated him to commit suicide? One viewpoint: the failure of Esenin in love was the decisive reason for his suicide. Indeed, the poet's love life is very unfortunate. November 7, 1921, the poet and the famous American dancer Duncan fell in love at first sight, and then quickly fell in love. The two soon began to live together. May 10, 1922, after the marriage registration, they embarked on a journey to Europe and the United States, began their official "honeymoon trip". It is this trip shows the huge differences in all aspects, so that the two love and marriage is facing a serious crisis. Differences in birth, age, education, and character, especially the obvious lack of harmony between the two, coupled with a serious language barrier between the two, all of which prevented them from communicating and exchanging well, so that a breakup was inevitable. Subsequently, the poet returned to his old lover, Benislavskaya, and the kind and affectionate girl forgave him. However, it is very regrettable that the sentimental poet soon fell into another messy love vortex, prompting him to take another step forward in his own tragedy. 1925 March, the poet met the beautiful Andreevna, once again into the frenzy of love. September, the two were officially married, to the poet's great disappointment is that the two after the wedding life is not as beautiful as originally envisioned. Andreevna although from a famous family, talent, but she lacked with the poet to match the artistic insights and talent, not to mention the kind of warmth of Benislavskaya. At this point, the poet regretted that he was ashamed of Benislavskaya. However, he no longer have the courage to return to her side to obtain her forgiveness, in this painful situation, the sensitive poet finally took the road to death, he wants to use death to repay the true lover of the heart. In this way, it can be said that Esenin died of "martyrdom".

Another view: Esenin actually committed suicide by suffering from depression. The official obituary of the Soviet Union, published after the poet's death, said that he hanged himself in despair due to depression and imbalance of mental balance. There is a historical record: with the disorder of the state of mind, Esenin's character became more and more irritable, and later on he was often inexplicably angry, seemingly temperamental. After the hospital examination, doctors believe that he has suffered from severe mental depression. Moreover, from the point of view of Esenin's poetic practice, his later creations reflected his extremely decadent mood. Some people think that he chose the path of "suicide" because the October Revolution broke his illusion of individualism. In fact, Esenin's suicide can be said to be the inevitable product of his melancholy character.

Both the tragedy of love theory and the depression theory recognize the suicide of Esenin. But now, some people have boldly challenged the traditional claims, the most representative of which is Mr. Yevgeny? The most representative of these is Mr. Yevgeny Chernosvitov. He believes that Yessenin's conclusion of "suicide" is questionable.

Chernosvitov said that a photograph of the poet after his death clearly showed a large dent in his forehead and the bridge of his nose, which was clearly the result of a blunt blow. In addition, a horizontal scratch can be seen on the photographs, which is inconsistent with self-hanging. This suggests that the poet was actually strangled by a rope coming from behind him.

What did Yessenin die of? If it was a homicide, by whom did he die? What was the motive? These doubts hanging in people's minds, but hope to find the cause of death of the poet who died young, to solve the confusion of the heart.
