The Valdai-Krestsy railway was part of the Narva-Luga-Novgorod-Bronnitsa-Valdai project, which was built during the First World War, including for strategic reasons.
At the same time, in the same place, other project - the railroad Petrograd-Novgorod-Bronnitsy-Soblago-Smolensk-Oryol was implemented. All famous bulls on Volkhov were to become the supports of the railway bridge of these two projects.
Both projects were never fully implemented. There is a version that is precisely because of the Novgorod cultural heritage. The project made a lot of noise in the then cultural circles, since the railway was supposed to pass in the immediate vicinity of the Rurikov Settlement and the Church of the Savior-on-Nereditsa and completely change the local landscape.
According to another version, construction ceased due to the fact that in 1918 Soviet Russia concluded a peace treaty with Germany in Brest. Because of this agreement, the need for the construction of many strategic roads has disappeared.

Gribba. Soon Gribbe died and in May 1876 Dostoevsky bought a house with a garden from his heirs. The house was the first real estate of the writer. Until that time, the Dostoevsky family lived only in rented apartments.
Here were written "Demons," "Teenager," "Brothers Karamazov," and other works. The foundation date of the museum is considered May 4, 1909. In 1918, the Starorussky City Council declared the house "an inviolable historical and literary monument." The house was transferred to the "full and free use" of the Old Russian Department of Public Education. The Dostoevsky house survived, surviving the revolution and the Civil War. In 1931, a memorial plaque was installed on it.
