Birth(+)Fact(x)Death(-) Calendar
On the night of 24 February 1852 Gogol burned some of his manuscripts which contained most of the second part of 'Dead Souls'. He explained this as a mistake, a practical joke played on him by the Devil. Soon thereafter he took to bed, refused all food and died in great pain nine days later.
(4 March 1852)
There are 3388 births, 3954 deaths, 1122 murders, 498 disasters and 2088 other events about 5741 people in 6457 places until today.
Birth(+)Fact(x)Death(-) Calendar is an ongoing project since 1985 by DDV.
