About

What happened in the last days of Nikolai Gogol's life and why are they shrouded in such a veil of mystery? A new tour from the Gogol House will unveil the dramatic story of his final decisions and spiritual quests. This tour is not just a walk through historical space, but a deep dive into the fate of the writer, surrounded by myths and a tragic aura. Participants will have a unique opportunity to trace the last days of the classic of Russian literature - from his painful reflections to the mysterious act that became part of literary and cultural history. Why did Gogol burn the manuscripts of the second volume of "Dead Souls"? What drove him in those last weeks of life - despair, illness, spiritual choice? These questions continue to intrigue researchers and readers alike. The tour will provide an opportunity to hear the most plausible versions based on archival materials and letters from contemporaries. Listeners will learn how Gogol's treatment proceeded, what his "spiritual illness" entailed, and what he bequeathed to his readers. KudaGo features the current program for Moscow.
