The new address is indicated in Dostoevsky’s letter to his brother Mikhail from April 1847: “…At the corner of Malaya Morskaya and Voznesensky Prospect, in Shil’s house, in Bremmer’s apartment…” The police registration for Dostoevsky’s “residence permit” states: “1st Part of the 2nd Quarter, No. 94, in the apartment. Registered on February 24, 1847,” where No. 94 also refers to Shil’s house according to the old “through” numbering of the 1st Admiralty Part. The police registration establishes more precisely than Dostoevsky’s correspondence that by the beginning of the 20s of February 1847, the writer had already left the “association” of the Beketov brothers and moved to the house at the corner of Malaya Morskaya Street and Voznesensky Prospect. The modern address is Voznesensky Prospect, No. 8, corner of Malaya Morskaya Street, No. 24; the house still stands. Local history literature reports that Bremmer’s apartment, where Dostoevsky lived, was located on the third floor of Shil’s house. This information is borrowed from the list compiled by the III Department titled “List of persons attending the Petrashevsky meetings on Fridays since March 11 of this year, 1849,” where it is noted about Dostoevsky: “Residence: 1st Admiralty Part, 2nd Quarter, at the corner of Malaya Morskaya and Voznesensky Prospect, in Shil’s house, on the 3rd floor, in Bremmer’s apartment.” This is repeated in the secret order of the III Department to Major Chudinov of the St. Petersburg Gendarme Division regarding the writer’s arrest. Dostoevsky created here the novellas "White Nights," "Netochka Nezvanova," "The Landlady," and others. Dostoevsky was arrested in Shil’s house on the night of April 23, 1849, in connection with the case of the members of the Butashevich-Petrashevsky circle. In a letter to Starchevsky, Dostoevsky refuses work for the “Reference Encyclopedic Dictionary,” stating that he is ill with “rushes of blood to the head” and cannot work “by doctor’s orders.” Moreover, he has a seizure at Senate Square. Yanovsky takes him to his place on Obukhovsky Prospect and provides medical assistance. Maikov, who came to Yanovsky, finds Dostoevsky sitting on a chair with his hand raised, bleeding. Dostoevsky shouts to him: “Saved, sir, saved!” He wrote the works "The Landlady," "Polzunkov," "A Weak Heart." In August 2000, a memorial plaque was installed at this address, stating that Dostoevsky lived here from 1847 to 1849.

In the summer of 1848, the writer spent time in the suburb of St. Petersburg — Pargolovo. Upon returning to the capital, he again settled in the old apartment in Shil’s house, as also evidenced by the repeated police registration: “1st Part of the 2nd Quarter, No. 94, at Bremmer’s apartment, registered September 9, 1848.” It is noteworthy that when first giving his address in Shil’s house to his brother in April 1847, Dostoevsky indicated: “…in Bremmer’s apartment…,” but two years later, in a letter to Kraevsky dated March 25–26, 1849, he asks the editor of “Domestic Notes” to send him “10 rubles in silver,” which were needed yesterday to pay his landlady. The cited police registration from September 9, 1848, also recorded: “…at Bremmer’s apartment.” It gives the impression that initially Dostoevsky settled in rooms with the apartment owner Bremmer (a man), but later, when he returned to Shil’s house again, the rooms were managed by the landlady Bremmer. In the writer’s memoir note about his arrest, made in Olga Milyukova’s album, it is also mentioned that when the gendarmes took Dostoevsky away, they were “accompanied by a frightened landlady and her man, Ivan…”

At house No. 8 on Voznesensky Prospect, Fyodor Dostoevsky lived until April 23, 1849, when he was arrested. He rented a room in Bremmer’s apartment on the third floor. Here he wrote the stories and novellas "Polzunkov," "A Weak Heart," "The Honest Thief," "The Christmas Tree and the Wedding," "Another Man’s Wife and the Husband Under the Bed," and "White Nights."

The owner of the house was Yakov Christianovich Shil. “It is likely that Dostoevsky was acquainted with the homeowner Shil, as Dostoevsky housed the future convict Raskolnikov in Shil’s house, associating Raskolnikov’s crime with his own crime — participation in the revolutionary circle of seven Petrashevtsy with an attempt to overthrow autocracy.” In this room, he was arrested on the night of April 23, 1849. “To Major Chudinov of the St. Petersburg Gendarme Division. By the highest order, I instruct Your Excellency to arrest tomorrow at 4 o’clock after midnight the retired engineer-lieutenant and writer Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky, living at the corner of Malaya Morskaya and Voznesensky Prospect, Shil’s house, on the third floor, in Bremmer’s apartment; to seal all his papers and books, and to deliver them along with Dostoevsky to the III Department of His Imperial Majesty’s Own Chancellery. In this case, you must strictly ensure that nothing is concealed from Dostoevsky’s papers. It may happen that you find a large number of papers and books with Dostoevsky, making it impossible to deliver them all now to the III Department; in such a case, you must place them in one of two rooms, as necessity dictates, seal those rooms, and immediately present Dostoevsky to the Third Department. If during the sealing of Dostoevsky’s papers and books he indicates that some belong to another person, do not pay attention to such indication and seal them as well. In carrying out this assignment, you must exercise the utmost vigilance and caution under your personal responsibility. The Chief of Staff of the Gendarme Corps, Lieutenant General Dubelt, will arrange for an officer of the St. Petersburg police and the necessary number of gendarmes to be present with you.”

General-Adjutant Count Orlov.
