Lonely Planet review

`Till I live I swear, dear friends, not to cease to love Moscow.' So wrote the 19th-century poet Mikhail Lermontov about his hometown. The celebrated author of A Hero of Our Time lived in this little pink house on a small lane off Novy Arbat ulitsa. Here, he was raised by his grandmother; and here he wrote poetry and prose in the primitive office in the attic. Today, the cosy bungalow evokes the family's everyday life, displaying the poet's books and artwork and other hobbies.
