Lonely Planet review for Sennaya Ploshchad
Once known as Haymarket, frenetic Sennaya ploshchad, crowded with giant kiosks and surrounded by glitzy shopping malls, is the gateway to ‘Dostoevskyland’. Crime and Punishment was set in this area and although the cathedral that once dominated the square in Dostoevsky’s time has long been demolished, the writer would still recognise something of the area’s former raffishness, if not the squalor.
