🖼 Gogol House

Никитский б-р, 7А

A manor on Nikitsky Boulevard where Gogol spent his last years and burned the second volume of Dead Souls.

Gogol lived here, in Count Alexander Tolstoy's manor, from 1848 until his death in 1852.
The first stone chambers on this plot appeared as early as the 17th century.
Almost none of Gogol's own belongings survive: the exhibition has, for example, Alexander Ostrovsky's sofa and Mikhail Pogodin's desk.
The fireplace in the drawing room is a symbol: Gogol scholar Igor Zolotussky pointed out that the manuscript burned in a stove, not in a fireplace.
A library has operated in the house since the 1920s, and it is now part of Gogol House.
