Inspired by Russian literature related to the period from the end of the XIX and the beginning of the XX century, representatives of our Student Parliament (among whom there are those who learn Russian) prepared an interesting activity. These are the details and interesting things about the character and work of the famous Russian writer Sergei Yesenin. His tumultuous, unusual and controversial life and work during this time have definitely left a mark on one creative era and one short, avant-garde literary direction-imagination. In the appendix we highlight the text about his life and work, followed by the verses of one of his most famous poems: "The Song of the dog" 

THE SONG OF THE DOG

As dawn gilded the burlap row
Of bags in the old grain shed,
A bitch there birthed a litter in snow:
Seven pups with fur all red.

Till night she caressed them round
With her tongue combing them neat,
And meltwater trickled down
Under her belly’s heat.

At dusk, when in the henhouse dimly
Hens roost on their perching rack,
The master came out grimly
And laid all seven in a sack.

She bounded across drifts to the river,
Hurrying after his step…
And long, long the smoothness quivered
Of the unfrozen water’s ebb.

When back she came, barely trudging,
Licking sweat off her fur,
The moon rising over the thatching
Seemed one of her pups to her.

Up she stared, softly whining
At the sky dark-blue and still.
The moon slid by, slim and shining,
And vanished behind the hill.

And like when they mock her, throwing
Not meat but pebbles cold,
Dully, dog eyes went flowing
Down in snow like stars of gold.

Sergei Yesenin
