Moscow became the main city in the life of Sergei Yesenin. Here the poet finally decided on the choice of his life path, found an interesting job, got new opportunities for self-education, published his poems for the first time, gained a wide circle of friends and great fame.,
which I've always dreamed of. Women close to him lived here, and his children grew up.

Moscow accepted the poet at the very beginning of his creative development and sent him on his last journey, already famous and beloved by all. In 1995, on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of Sergei Yesenin's birth, his "light figure" was immortalized in a monument by sculptor Anatoly Bichukov. Now the poet, whose "steppe singing managed to ring with bronze," can always be found on Tverskoy Boulevard.
