One grey and rainy evening, Moscow was shrouded in fog, which, like a curtain of mysterious drama, hid the familiar contours of the city from view. metro station Revolution Square Passers-by hurried to take shelter from the bad weather, and among them was lost a man whose name would thunder throughout the world in the future - Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky.
That evening he didn't just find himself in the subway. He was drawn by an unknown force that promised answers to questions that had been tormenting him for a long time. However, it wasn't only philosophical thoughts that occupied his mind - a melancholy smoldered in his chest, which he tried to drown in wine.
In the semi-darkness of the station, illuminated only by the dim light of the lamps, he noticed an inconspicuous figure standing by the column. It was Freemason, a representative of a secret society that always evoked mixed feelings in Fyodor - from curiosity to distrust.
The mason seemed to be waiting for him, and when Dostoevsky came closer, with a slight smile, he invited him on a tour into the world of secrets and mysteries. Fyodor, succumbing to an inner impulse, agreed, and they moved along the dark passages of the metro, hidden from the eyes of ordinary passengers.
Soon they found themselves in an ancient room, where a bottle of wine stood on the table. The Mason filled the glasses and proposed a toast to the discovery of truth. Dostoevsky, feeling the alcohol warming his soul, wondered: is it not in this drink that the key to the riddle of human nature lies hidden?
But the Mason seemed to read his thoughts. "Truth is not in wine, but in the heart of man," he said, as if answering an unspoken question. These words, like lightning, illuminated Fyodor's mind, and he felt his irritated spirit begin to calm down.
When they returned to the square, the rain had already stopped and the clouds began to disperse, revealing a starry sky. Dostoevsky, having thanked his mysterious guide, went home, bringing with him new thoughts and ideas that would soon be reflected in his works.
Thus ended the evening, which left a mark in the heart of Fyodor Mikhailovich that will not be lost in time, but will live on in his books, where every line is imbued with reflections on human nature and the search for truth.

Note: Review of the excursion-performance, which the guide Alexander specially developed as part of the order "Dream Tour".
"Theater capital" - an author's route through the places of Meyerhold, Stanislavsky, Nemirovich-Danchenko, Tairov (undeservedly forgotten, it was he who created the current Pushkin Theatre on Tverskoy Boulevard).
Two and a half hours of fascinating stories and urban theatre legends. I'll tell you one:
The great composer Sergei Prokofiev lived in Kamergersky Lane. And he managed to die on the same day as Stalin. There was a terrible crush in Moscow, everything was blocked off, the entire capital wanted to say goodbye to the leader. So, to see Prokofiev off, the coffin was carried out from Kamergersky Lane on the roofs. I can vividly imagine this picture.
