I want to know the answer to the following question:
What famous author described parts of the mall in his books?
All the background I'm provided with is that "The edifice contained coffee-houses, confectioneries, panorama installations, an anatomical museum, a wax museum, and even a small zoo, described by Dostoyevsky in his extravaganza "Crocodile, or Passage through the Passage".". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: yes
