V.D.Konshin's House

20 Prechistenka Street
At the beginning of the 1920s, the choreographic studio of the American ballerina Isadora Duncan could be found in this house. The celebrated dancer is mentioned in Heart of a Dog when Shvonder, the head of the house committee, comes to Professor Preobrazhensky with the aim of taking over his dining room. His main argument is that, ‘No one in Moscow has a dining room. Not even Isadora Duncan!’.
