The life, work, and mystical connection between Volga poet Alexander Shiryaevets and Sergei Yesenin. Yesenin, who was friends with him for many years, called Shiryaevets "Bayun of the Zhiguli and Volga," requested to be buried near "dear Shurka," and dedicated his poignant poem "We Are Now Leaving Little by Little" to him.
