This is it for Russia

Don't tear up because this is the last Russia post.  If you've made it through all of them, you get a mighty gold star.  It was such a great opportunity to go to Russia.  We loved being there and visiting our friends. 


Fyodor Dostoevsky spent his later years in Petersburg.  He is famous for writing 'Crime and Punishment'.  In this house, he finished writing one of his most famous books 'The Brothers Karamazov'.  My book club is reading this book for the month of November.  I actually started reading it while I was in Russia, so it was really cool to go to his house.
Some of Dostoevsky's writings.  Your guess is as good as mine as to what it says!
This cute little rocking horse is in the Dostoevsky children's room.  In this room is where he read to his two children.
