Fyodor Dostoyevsky Literary and Memorial Museum is situated in the very heart of
the city in the corner of the Dostoevskogo str. and Kuznechniy lane. During his
life Dostoevskiy changed about 20 addresses. However among all addresses the
favorite one is the apartment situated in Kuznechniy lane, not far from St.Vladimir’s
Cathedral. In that very apartment Dostoevskiy took up his residence in October
1878 and lived there till his death. Also he wrote his great roman “Karamazov
Brothers” in that very apartment. The memorial flat, restored to its original
state with the help of archive materials, photographs and memoirs by the
writer's contemporaries, was turned into a museum in 1971. The display includes
editions of Dostoyevsky's books published during his lifetime, a collection of
illustrations for them, books and photographs signed by the writer and his
famous contemporaries, manuscripts and portraits.
