At the Vladimir Church, on the corner of Grebetskaya Street and Kuznechny Lane, the house of merchant Kuchin, at No. 9

The address is indicated in Dostoevsky's letter to his brother Mikhail dated February 1, 1846: “…near the Vladimir Church, at the corner of Grebetskaya Street and Kuznechny Lane, the house of merchant Kuchin, at No. 9.” The specific historical address and the name of the homeowner are restored according to Tsyolov’s 1849 “Atlas of Thirteen Parts of St. Petersburg.” It is extremely important to clarify the historical house number on Kuznechny Lane to avoid mistakenly taking the apartment number (No. 9) as the house number, as sometimes happens in some publications. Unfortunately, the exact location of the apartment is not established; it is only known that Dostoevsky rented “two excellently furnished rooms from the tenants” here. The date of the writer’s move to Kuznechny Lane from the Pryanishnikov house also poses difficulties. Most likely, Dostoevsky informed his brother of his new address shortly after moving. In that case, the move into the new apartment should be dated to the end of January 1846. However, busy with finishing “The Double,” Dostoevsky might have delayed writing the letter. The last time he wrote to Mikhail from the house in Grafsky Lane was on November 16, 1845. Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that he might have moved at the end of the previous year. The most reliable dating appears to be within the interval: late 1845 – early 1846. Dostoevsky lived in the Kuchin house until the end of April – beginning of May 1846. In this house near the Vladimir Church, Fyodor Mikhailovich lived twice, the second time from October 1878 until his death on January 28 (February 9) 1881. Later, the homeowner was Klinkstrem, and the apartment where the writer lived at the end of his life was turned into a museum. This house is located at the intersection of Dostoevsky Street (in 1846 it was Grebetskaya Street, in 1878-1881 – Yamskaya) and Kuznechny Lane (which, rarely, has not changed its name since 1739). Near the house is the Vladimir Cathedral (a church in the 19th century). Here, the novellas “The Double” and “Mr. Prokharchin” were written. Dostoevsky experienced both fame and popularity, as well as misunderstanding and harassment. The beginning of the conflict with Nekrasov.
