Robert, I am going to beat you to it even though it is still 15 minutes before 9 February on the East Coast  ;)

9 February, 1984. Soviet leader Yuri V. Andropov died at age 69, less than 15 months after succeeding Leonid Brezhnev.

Those who admire the classic works of Fyodor Dostoyevsky have commemmorated the 124th anniversary of his death on 9 February in 1881, in his SPb Memorial-appartment museum on Kuznechnii Perulok.

He was best known as the author of:

Crime and Punishment, Brothers Karamazov and Idiot which have been translated into film by the Russian and Western film industries.
