The Nekrasov Apartment Museum at 36, Liteyny Prospekt. The poet lived in this house for the last 20 years of his life, from 1857 until his death in 1877. The museum was opened in 1946. The interiors have been recreated based on the recollections of people who saw it during Nekrasov’s lifetime. This is more than a memorial apartment. The place also housed the editorial offices of the legendary Sovremennik and Otechestvennye Zapiski magazines, where Nekrasov’s co-editors, associates, and friends, Ivan Panaev, Mikhail Saltykov-Shchedrin, Nikolay Chernyshevsky, and Nikolay Dobrolyubov worked alongside him. Leo Tolstoy, Ivan Turgenev, Ivan Goncharov, Alexander Ostrovsky, and countless other names from the golden age of Russian literature visited and worked here. Today, the apartment museum is part of the National Pushkin Museum. The exhibition features portraits of the poet by prominent Russian artists Ivan Kramskoi and Konstantin Makovsky, as well as some of Nekrasov’s personal belongings, rare books and manuscripts, and portraits and photographs of his famous contemporaries.
