About this video

• Video Title: Тайна смерти Есенина. Убийство или самоубийство? | Исторический детектив
• Channel: Лекторий Dостоевский
• Speakers: Not explicitly mentioned in the transcript.
• Duration: 00:41:27

Overview

This video investigates the mysterious death of the Russian poet Sergei Yesenin, exploring the official verdict of suicide and presenting arguments and evidence for the alternative theory of murder. It examines inconsistencies in the initial investigation, witness accounts, photographic evidence, and the political context of Yesenin's final days to piece together what might have truly happened.

Key takeaways

• Official Version vs. Doubts: The official verdict of suicide in 1925 is questioned due to numerous inconsistencies, such as the height of the ceiling in relation to the pipe Yesenin allegedly hanged himself from, and errors in official reports.
• Evidence for Suicide: Arguments supporting suicide include the posthumous mask of Yesenin, which shows no signs of head trauma, and the nature of the ligature marks on his neck, which experts found consistent with self-hanging. An investigative experiment also demonstrated that it was possible for Yesenin to hang himself from the pipe.
• Evidence for Murder: Arguments for murder include the presence of abrasions and bruises on Yesenin's body, the peculiar state of his eyes (one appearing to have "run out," the other bulging), questions surrounding the suicide note (whether it was written in blood and if it was contemporaneous), and inconsistencies in photographs taken at the scene.
• Political Context: Yesenin's critical stance towards the Soviet government and his associations with individuals who opposed the regime are presented as potential motives for his murder. He was under surveillance by secret services, and previous arrests and investigations involving his friends are highlighted.
• Conflicting Accounts and New Evidence: Over the years, new testimonies and evidence have emerged, including accounts from the hotel commandant's wife and cousin of Yesenin's last wife, suggesting the death may have occurred earlier than officially stated and that authorities were involved in covering up a murder.
• Need for Further Investigation: The video concludes that the mystery surrounding Yesenin's death remains unsolved and calls for a new, official investigation with modern scientific methods to definitively determine the cause of death.
