St. Petersburg Crime & Punishment Tour

9/2/2016

 Today is the 135th anniversary of Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky's death, and, as I noted in an earlier post, this year marks the 150th anniversary of Crime and Punishment's initial publication in serial form. I had the great fortune, when studying at Moscow State University on an ACTR program in 2001, and on a weekend trip to St. Petersburg, to take a Crime and Punishment tour. 

Here are some photos from that excursion. To recap the basics: Rodion Romanovich Raskolnikov is a college dropout who decides that a pawnbroker he's in debt to is a leech on society, and that killing her and stealing her pledges is justified. The rest is mainly psychological, moral, and religious drama leading to Rodya's eventual confession.
