Lonely Planet review for Pushkin Museum
Several blocks northeast of the central parks is the Pushkin Museum, housed in a cottage where Russian poet Alexandr Pushkin (1799-1837) spent an exiled three years between 1820 and 1823. It was here that he wrote The Prisoner of the Caucacus and other classics - that is, when he wasn't involved in the amorous intrigues, hard drinking and occasional violence of his social circles in what was then a rough-around-the-edges distant outpost of the Russian empire.
