This museum was the final home of the famous Russian writer, Fyodor Dostoevsky, who lived here from 1878 until his death in 1881. It was in this very apartment that he completed his greatest novel, "The Brothers Karamazov", in 1880. Gambling and other debts confined the author to a very modest lifestyle in his five-roomed apartment. You will be able to see his daughter´s nursery, which contains her actual rocking horse. In his study, his desk and a reproduction of his favorite painting (Raphael´s "Sistine Madonna´) is located. Among Dostoevsky's numerous Peterburg addresses, the building on the corner of Kuznechny Lane and Dostoevsky Street (formerly Yamskaya) holds particular significance. The writer moved there with his family in the beginning of October 1878 and was to reside there until the day of his death, January 28, 1881. It was in this house that many many of Dostoevsky's contemporaries were to visit him, and his last novel, The Brothers Karamazov, was written. This simple, completely ordinary Petersburg apartment building, devoid of distinctive architectural features, has today become one of the most popular attractions in the city precisely because it was there that Dostoevsky lived and died. Even before the Russian Revolution, articles had appeared in the press about the need to commemorate the house with a historical plaque and to open a museum dedicated to the life and work of the great writer on the premises. The first Dostoevsky Museum, however, opened in Moscow after the Revolution, in 1928, on the site of the former Mariinsky Hospital for the Poor (Bozhedomka Street), where the writer had spent his childhood years. Plans for Dostoevsky Museum in Petersburg (then Leningrad) remained unrealized. The writer's widow, Anna Grigorievna Dostoevskaya, left Petersburg for her estate on the shores of the Black Sea in 1917.
