After his arrest and a one-month detention in St. Petersburg, the Russian author Ivan Turgenev was forced to live at his estate, Spasskoye, for 18 months.1

This period of enforced residence was officially prompted by his publication of an obituary for Nikolai Gogol, which violated censorship regulations, though his critical depictions of serfdom in his work A Sportsman’s Sketches also contributed to the official harassment he faced.1
