There, he immediately became involved with actress Augusta Miklashevskaya and is believed to have married her in a civil ceremony after obtaining his divorce from Isadora Duncan. Yesenin's affair with Galina Benislavskaya ended tragically: a year after his death she committed suicide at his grave.
- this needs clarification - there's only this one reference to Galina Benislavskaya = was yesenin's affair with her during his marriage to miklashevskaya? - J. Van Meter
Someone should mention the Russian movie about his life, Esenin. I would, except that I do not know how to edit wikipedia pages.
Galina Benislavskaya was a GPU agent who was asked to "look after" the poet. She loved Esenin and apparently she did a lot to protect him from many dangers (13 criminal cases were initiated against Esenin with mediation of GPU) Esenin didn't enter into her feeling and she was only a dear friend to him. There are different films and documentaries about Esenin. - N.Trofimov
I think that the poster above was probably referring to the 2005 teleserial, there is a link to it from the Russian wikipage for Esenin.
[edit] Where did Yesenin meet Duncan?
In the article is written: In the fall of 1921, while visiting the studio of painter Alexei Yakovlev, he met the Paris-based American dancer Isadora Duncan. I'm reading a book of Carola Stern Isadora Duncan und Siergiej Jessenin, Der Dichter und die Tänzerin where it's said that the painter's name was Georgy Yakulow.
