For the ruble equivalent of $261K, you can own the St. Petersburg apartment where Fyodor Dostoevsky lived while he wrote his first novel, “Poor Folk.” It’s got four rooms and 1,120 square feet, but be warned: It’s seen better days. https://www.rbc.ru/spb_sz/30/09/2024/66fa8fc09a79470711fa6384
Many foreigners probably don’t know this, but Russia typically treats anywhere its famous writers ever laid their hat as a holy site. So, this derelict housing in the country’s number-two metropolis is a bit odd, it seems to me.

It's quite okay to mention it to add value to the place — some artist might rent it to draw inspiration from it or even choose it as his/her permanent residence.
Why let the place deteriorate to the state when it becomes the only appealing feature — that is a different question.
