...author's other son Leonid, do not live in the house, but they have diligently kept it in repair and conducted tours for visitors. Everything has been preserved just as it was when Pasternak was living. Among the keepsakes: the piano where the noted Russian pianist Svyatoslav Richter played all through the night Pasternak died, and the worn kitchen table where Pasternak lifted toasts of vodka the day he learned he had won the Nobel Prize.
