Caption: Andrei Dostoevesky (grandson of the writer) crossing Peace Square–called Market Square when Crime and Punishment was written. The novel says Raskolnikov "had often crossed that little street which turns at an angle leading from the Market Place to Sadovy Street. Of late he had often felt drawn to wander about the district when he felt depressed, that he might feel more so."




Caption: Tolstoy's tomb in the park of Yasnaya Polyana. The writer was buried here, according to his wishes, in an anonymous grave.

The 'anonymous' grave is obviously well-tended. Someone must clear the fresh snowfall every day.
