Slums, brothels and poverty - St. Petersburg of the 19th century through the eyes of Dostoevsky

St. Petersburg by Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky is the image of the city created in his books. This excursion is not just a walk around the city, but an immersion in the soul of St. Petersburg, revealed through the prism of the work of one of the greatest masters of Russian literature.

We will move away from the magnificence of the palaces and take a stroll through non-parade Petersburg, where the images of the heroes of the novel “Crime and Punishment” come to life. We will pass through Sennaya Square, a place that in the era of Dostoevsky was the center of trade and human flows, and along the winding Catherine Canal, personifying the hidden side of urban life. Narrow streets with high apartment houses and close courtyards-wells will open before you the atmosphere of the time when St. Petersburg was both luxurious and gloomy.

You will see the houses where Raskolnikov lived - the main character of the novel, and the old woman-promoter, as well as places associated with Sonya Marmeladova - a symbol of compassion and spiritual strength. Learn about the darkest corners of the city - dens, lodgings and brothels, which served as a backdrop for many scenes of Dostoevsky's works. Unravel the mystery of Kanava – a mysterious alley filled with history and legends. Take a look at the Yusupovsky Garden – a quiet oasis in the “stone jungle” of the city, next to which is one of the 20 addresses of the writer in St. Petersburg.

This tour is not only a journey through the streets and houses, but also an opportunity to feel the atmosphere of the era, to understand the inner world of the heroes and their fate. All information is accompanied by vivid stories, interesting facts and photos.

Immerse yourself in the atmosphere of St. Petersburg through the eyes of Dostoevsky and discover the city from a new side - the city of his passions, secrets and brilliant ideas.
