the writer Anton Chekhov's time at his home at the Melikhovo estate and how it later became a museum.
Kade and I rode a tram by Chekhov's Moscow home on a rainy day during our visit in 2007! I wanted to tour the home.
We toured Tolstoy's Moscow home, and the apartments of Dostoyevsky and Pushkin in St. Petersburg. Fascinating.
