Fyodor Dostoevsky’s fear of Saint Petersburg

“I admit that Petersburg, I don’t know why, always seemed like a kind of mystery to me.

“Right from childhood, when almost lost and abandoned in Petersburg, I was somehow always afraid of it.” 

- Fyodor Dostoevsky

Born in Moscow on November 11, 1821, died Saint Petersburg, February 9, 1881.
