People of creative professions are somehow subconsciously drawn to tragedy and drama. Perhaps this is the reason why all their novels end sadly? Let's think about five legendary novels with a very bleak ending.
Vladimir Mayakovsky and Lilia Brik
At first, Vladimir met with Lilia's sister Elsa. The girl met him at one of the literary evenings, and was delighted with the genius of the poet. Elsa said that with Mayakovsky she learned what true love is, including physical love. And then she decided to bring him to her sister's house to introduce him. Lilia was married at that time, but immediately laid eyes on the poet. It was mutual, feelings could not be hidden. Then Lilia, Osip (her husband) and Mayakovsky began to live together.
Vladimir sincerely loved his Lily, and Osip was not even jealous, but continued to release the poet's poems dedicated to his wife. In 1930, the relationship ended when Mayakovsky committed suicide by shooting himself in the head. The poet bequeathed all his creations to Lilia and Osip Brik.
Nikolai Gumilyov and Anna Akhmatova
This story can hardly be called beautiful and romantic. Nikolai sought Anna for a very long time, but she refused him, and he even tried three times to commit suicide. But in the end, Akhmatova nevertheless answered him in kind. They practically had nothing in common, only that they were both great creative people, and they were equally hated by the Soviet authorities. Gumilyov continued to develop, travel, and Akhmatova treated this as his childishness. There were betrayals in the relationship, then the couple broke up. Gumilyov married again, Anna was married three more times.
In 21, Nikolai was shot, and for a long time he and Akhmatova's son "received" for their parents. He spent over 10 years in prison on trumped-up charges.
Marina Tsvetaeva and Sergey Efron
A difficult story of two unfortunate people. Marina and Sergei got married in 1912. She was then already a well-known poetess in her circles, even though she was only 19 years old. Sergei was 18, he wrote stories, was a high school student, and was also engaged in underground activities. Later, he will migrate abroad, where he will be a participant in a political assassination. Life prepared a lot of tests for the couple: war, famine, devastation, loss of the youngest child, constant illnesses of children. But their love was strong and strong. Due to his underground activities, Sergei was constantly away from his beloved, and only short-term multiple love affairs saved her. But this did not dampen her feelings for her husband in the slightest. The lovers constantly corresponded, Tsvetaeva dedicated poems to him.
In 1941, Marina Tsvetaeva passed away, followed by her beloved Serezhenka.
Alexander Blok and Lyubov Mendeleeva
A very strange story. She is the daughter of a famous chemist, he is a young poet and womanizer. Sasha very often came to the Mendeleevs' dacha on a white horse, and excited the minds of the girls with dreams of a prince on a white horse. He, along with Lyuba, played in performances at family evenings. Then they got married. Alexander was fascinated by the beauty of his wife, but never touched her. And Lyuba loved him with all her heart, but she was not happy with him. He walked away from her, and considered her only his best friend and a beautiful lady. Blok died very early at the age of 41. And Lyuba did not marry again, until the end of her days observing mourning for her beloved husband.
Sergei Yesenin and Isadora Duncan
Isadora was an American dancer and was sent to Moscow by invitation. There she met the young Yesenin. They just adored each other. Duncan really was 20 years older than Yesenin, but this was not an obstacle for them. The relationship lasted only 2 years, but they were very stormy and passionate. Surprisingly, Sergei did not know a single foreign word, and Isadora hardly spoke Russian, but they understood each other.
The woman did not like Sergey's lifestyle, his constant partying and hobbies with other girls. And he could not explain to his beloved why he was so disappointed in life. He wanted more freedom, air, and he broke down on his wife, who was “pressing” him more and more, it even came to assault. Shortly after his stay in a psychiatric hospital, Yesenin took his own life. A few months later, Duncan also died, due to strange circumstances, strangling herself with a scarf that got into the wheel of her car.
