St. Petersburg Dostoevsky: crime and punishment

"Babies die from an axe - Rodya cuts on "hurrah"! " - St. Petersburg folklore.

Dostoevsky, like Pushkin, is a genius who was born in Moscow but made a career on the banks of the Neva River.

Petersburg is one hundred percent his city!
Here he studied, here he made his literary debut.

Here he was arrested and almost executed. He was exiled from St. Petersburg, returned here, married, and died here.

But Dostoevsky did not like Petersburg. Called it the city of "half-crazy."

The heroes of Crime and Punishment, like Dostoevsky himself, live in the vicinity of Sennaya Square - the "womb of St. Petersburg."
This is where our tour begins.

What awaits you?

We will be transported to St. Petersburg in the 1860s of the XIX century and repeat the path of Raskolnikov from his cabin to the house of the old woman - the interest-bearer.

Let’s talk about the prototypes of the main characters of “Crime and Punishment” and about the real “loud” murders of that time.

I will tell you how the “humiliated and insulted” lived in the capital of the Russian Empire.

There will be interesting facts from the St. Petersburg biography of F.M. and important aspects of his literary work.

The main thing is that you will feel what the real Petersburg of Dostoevsky was.

The tour will be equally useful for those who are preparing for the exam in literature and those who want to finally read / reread Dostoevsky, but are looking for motivation!
