The dacha is now the Pasternak House-Museum (934 5175; ul Pavlenko 3; admission R50; 10am-4pm Thu-Sun). The museum features the room where he finished Doctor Zhivago and the room where he died. It is open to visitors only with a guided tour (in Russian).


When Pasternak died in 1960 he was buried in the nearby cemetery, which has attracted a stream of visitors ever since. In a pine grove towards the rear of the cemetery, look for the stone slab bearing the writer’s profile. Above the graveyard sits the tiny 15th-century Transfiguration Church (Preobrazhenskaya tserkov).
