His last poem Goodbye my friend, goodbye ,  Yesenin complained that there was no ink in the room, and he was forced to write with his blood,  academic researchers of Yesenin's life, the poet was in a state of depression a week after the end of treatment in a mental hospital and committed suicide by hanging.

A theory exists that Yesenin's death was actually a murder by NKVD agents who staged it to look like suicide.

The farewell poem of  Yesenin, written in his own blood.


Goodbye, My Friend, Goodbye 


Goodbye, my friend, goodbye.

My love, you are in my heart.

It was preordained we should part

And be reunited by and by.

Goodbye: no handshake to endure.

Let's have no sadness — furrowed brow.

There's nothing new in dying now

Though living is no newer.
