Exploring Russian literature: tour about literature-related places of Moscow

You have probably heard a lot about Pushkin, Dostoyevsky or Tolstoy - but do you fancy learning more about Russian literature? During our tour, we'll get acquainted with a broader context of Russian classical and modern literature and try to understand what could have influenced the mindset and the literary works of outstanding Russian writers.
We'll see:

• The places related to the daily life of Russian writers - e.g. where Pushkin fooled the police, where Tolstoy used to exercise and what was the theater where the first Chekhov play was staged
• Former editions of historic magazines and journals
• Historic libraries - public, private, and even secret
• Places where the word was spread - theaters, "literature saloons" (discussion clubs), printing houses, etc.
• The places related to less famous (but equally distinguished) Russian writers and poets, like Yesenin or Ostrovsky - we'll learn more about different artistic styles, like Russian futurism poetry or Russian drama of the mid-XIX century;
• Venues related to non-Russian writers, e.g. former Yiddish theater, house of Belarus writer Adamovich or a building where Polish poet Mitskevich spent time in exile;
• The locations that gave us famous literary prototypes.

On our way from Dmitrovka to Mayakovskaya, we'll see how literature was evolving in Moscow - both Empire and Soviet - how it thrived, broke through censorship, or overcame crises, and how it reflected and reacted to the changing sociocultural reality.
