Stray Dog Café
The Stray Dog (russian: Бродя́чая соба́ка, also known as the Stray Dog Cellar, Stray Dog Cabaret and the Society for Intimate Theatre) was a cafe located at Mikhailovckaya Ploshchad, 5 (Ploshchad Isskustv), Square of the Arts up to Summer Gardens, St. Petersburg, Russia. The Stray Dog Café was a meeting place for writers and poets between 1911 and 1915. The Acmeist poets (Nikolay Gumilyov, Mandelstam, Mikhail Kuzmin, etc.) gathered there to discuss theories of literature, give poetry readings, and perform theatre. They considered themselves "'stray dogs' shunted aside by proper aristocratic society", which led to the name. The cafe was in disrepair for many years and reopened in 2001. Run by proprietor Boris Pronin, out of the cellar of the Dashkov mansion, it opened New Year's Eve, 1911 and was shut down by the authorities in 1915.
