Sometimes I feel something similar when there is an opportunity to wander around my night city. On the big lighted streets and avenues it is not too noticeable, but it is only necessary to turn the corner into a quiet and dark alley or yard - as everything can change and the consciousness receives a state of otherworldly, mystical and secret. Especially, if you know the stories and legends of some streets, you can feel the ghosts of Dostoevsky's heroes from his famous novel "Crime and punishment" : the place on the square where the main character Rodion Raskolnikov in his head crept the idea of killing an old woman-usurer; or the house near the ascension bridge, where Sonechka Marmeladova lived. Or you can still see the shadow of A. S. Pushkin, who goes to the confectionery wolf and Beranger on Nevsky Prospekt, where on the day of the duel, he met with his cornerman K. K. Danzas.
