\n \n SALON OF KARAMZINA, the salon of the widow of the historian N. M. Karamzin - Ekaterina Andreevna Karamzina (1780-1851) and of his daughter from the first marriage Sofia Nikolaevna Karamzina (1802-1856). Being one of the centres of cultural life of the capital, it gathered writers, artists, composers and other art figures in 1826-50. It was visited by K. P. Bryullov, Prince P. A. Vyazemsky, A. S. Dargomyzhsky, M. I. Glinka, N. V. Gogol, V. A. Zhukovsky, M. Y. Lermontov, I. P. Myatlev, Prince V. F. Odoevsky, A.S.Pushkin, Countess E. P. Rastopchina, Y. F. Samarin, A. O. Smirnova-Rosset, S. A. Sobolevsky and F. I. Tyutchev. Questions of poetry, policy, science, newly published books were discussed in the salon. According to the reminiscences of the contemporaries, simplicity was connected here with courtliness. Authors read their compositions. In 1839 Gogol read chapters from Dead Souls for the first time. All the conversations were held in Russian which was uncommon for secular salons of that epoch. In 1826-32, they gathered on 41 Mokhovaya Street; in the 1830s - on Mikhailovskaya Square (today 3 and 4 Arts Square), in the 1840s, at 16 Gagarinskaya Street.
