Lecture: “Sergei Yesenin in Batumi”

Lecture: “Sergei Yesenin in Batumi”

On November 11, join us for the second lecture in the series about writers who left their mark on Batumi.
This time, we’ll talk about Sergei Yesenin, who lived in the city for three months.

Topics to be discussed:
• Is it true that Yesenin met Shagane here, in Batumi?
• Who shot themselves at the poet’s grave?
• How many times did Yesenin “change his shoes” during the revolutionary years?
• Did the poet have a “backup airfield” in his relationships with women?
• And how did Yesenin predict the rise of Batumi’s legendary dandy — Johnson?
