RUSSISH ROULETTE
Dostoevsky and the Longing for the West
In the 19th century, Baden-Baden was the secret capital of Europe - at least in the summer. The city exerts an irresistible attraction on Russians in particular: on nobility, diplomats, the military and not least on literati. Baden-Baden is considered an ideal health resort - and also offers Russian guests a sensation that is forbidden in the Tsarist empire: the casino.
