As part of the Russian language courses, a literary evening was held in honor of one of the most prominent and well-known poets of the Silver Age — Sergei Alexandrovich Yesenin. The event brought together participants interested in Russian culture, history, and poetry.
At the beginning of the evening, attendees learned about key moments of the poet’s biography: his childhood in a village in the Ryazan region, the development of his literary path, his artistic explorations, and his relationships with contemporaries. Special attention was paid to the recurring themes and images in Yesenin’s work — love for native nature, reflections on the human destiny, and the place of a person in the world.
After the introduction, the participants read selected poems aloud and discussed their emotional tone, imagery, and language. In a relaxed atmosphere, both lyrical and more dramatic works of the poet were shared. Everyone had the opportunity to express their impressions, ask questions, and hear new interpretations of familiar texts.
Over a cup of aromatic tea, the discussion about poetry, literary traditions, and personal impressions of Yesenin’s work continued.
The evening became not only an introduction to a great Russian poet but also an opportunity to feel the atmosphere of Russian culture and to strengthen interest in the language and literature.
