St.Petersburg and its unique atmosphere is often depicted in Dostoevsky's novels. The famous writer loved this city where he wrote many of his masterpieces. Making your way to the museum down the busy lane jammed between the market place and the house of prayer you will rub shoulders with people who still bear likeness to Dostoevsky's characters albeit slightly modernized. The last apartment of the writer on the first floor of the house has been reconstructed with meticulous care. Drawings and photographs made during the writer's lifetime were used for the reconstruction. Whenever Dostoevsky rented an apartment in St Petersburg, it was located so that at lest one window should have a view of a church. So look out of the window and you'll surely see domes of the Our Lady of Vladimir Cathedral.
