Born in Yasnaya Polyana, the Tula province, in a rich aristocratic family. He entered Kazan University, but then left it. At the summer, he went to the Caucasus. Here he began to write the trilogy "Childhood", "adolescence", "Youth". In the city of Tolstoy, he went on a trip to Europe, which disappointed him.
C to gg. To this end, he went to Yasnaya Polyana, where he opened a school for peasant children and created his own pedagogy system. Tolstoy in Zheleznovodsk. In the city of Zheleznovodsk, Lev Nikolaevich has been more than once. From the diary entries of Leo Nikolayevich you can extract many different details. Here Tolstoy settled with his acquaintance Buemsky in one of the official houses near the southern sources.
The writer leads a secluded lifestyle: he drinks mineral water, accepts baths, plays chess, reads a lot, works on the “letter from the Caucasus” begun, as his story “Rowing” was originally called. Here he is considering his new work - "Roman of the Russian landowner." Tolstoy does not ignore his “artillery plans”. He is trying to create a new design of the charger for the guns.
He shares his calculations with the officers of Khilkovsky and Aliferov who came to Zheleznovodsk. The writer walks a lot in the Zheleznovodsk forest. Southern nature inspires him to philosophical thoughts. He wrote in his diary: "The concept of God stems from the consciousness of a person’s weakness." He concluded about the Zheleznovodsk period of his work: “It seems to me that all the time in Zheleznovodsk in my head is processed and prepared a lot of good practical, useful, I don’t know what will come out of this” on this visit, Tolstoy met the ordinary of the 3rd Caucasian linear battalion A.
The writer's diary has such a record from July 17: “Disordered. Married Europe is very interested in me. ” In - gg. In the same years, the writer’s worldview, known as “Tolstoy”, whose essence is visible in the works: “Confession”, “What is my faith? The doctrine is set out in the philosophical and religious works “Study of dogmatic theology”, “Connection and translation of the four Gospels”, where the main emphasis is on the moral improvement of a person, exposing evil, and non-resistance to evil by violence.
Later, the dilogy was published: the drama “Power of Darkness” and the comedy “Fruits of Enlightenment”, then a series of stories-alleys about the laws of being. The admirers of the writer’s work, to whom they treated, as a spiritual mentor, gathered from all over Russia and the world in a clear meadow.
The last works of the writer are the stories “Father Sergius”, “After the Ball”, “The posthumous notes of the elder Fedor Kuzmich” and the drama “Living Corpse”. Tolstoy's confessional journalism gives a detailed idea of his spiritual drama: drawing paintings of social inequality and idleness of educated layers, Tolstoy in a harsh form posed the issues of life and faith in a strict form, criticized all state institutions, reaching the denial of science, art, judgment, marriage, and the achievements of civilization.
Tolstoy's social declaration relies on the idea of Christianity as a moral teaching, and the ethical ideas of Christianity are meaningful in a humanistic way, as the basis of the World Brotherhood of People. Tolstoy secretly left Yasnaya Polyana from his family, fell ill on the road and was forced to leave the train at the small railway station in the Astapovo Ryazano-Ural Railway.
Here, in the house of the head of the station, he spent the last seven days of his life.
