Tolstoy Biography (1970) 

THIS IS A TRULY AMAZING GEM. I am so happy and grateful to have found this.

Extraordinary! I never realized there was such a film as this. I'm very thankful!

What a perspicacious woman. The honesty, humility, and understanding of her familial dynamics and self-awareness is unbelievable. At 26:24 she shares how Tolstoy on his death bed said, “Truth, I like truth.” Alexandra seems like a person who lived out truth.

Poor soul. My heart goes to this child of Tolstoy.

Beautiful! Thank you for posting this.

I'm glad I've found this. This is a gem and eye opening.

"He", 1 child, deserved all the love." is nuts. Thoughtless, careless parents can do lifelong damage. She was still hurting decades later from an unloving mother who got away with inflicting mega pain on a child for the rest of her life. Many people should never have children.

Thank you - I am dimly aware of Tolstoys work life and reputation - but his daughters account him really puts flesh on those familiar old bones 🦴 🙏

This is antique vintage and cool but it’s also quite an elegant documentary. Also the way Tolstoy’s daughter discusses her difficult past… Russians just get things differently

Александра Львовна Толстая -младшая дочь нашего виликого русского писателя Льва Толстого участница первой мировой войны санитарка награждена за храбрость и усердие двумя Георгиевскими крестами,прожила в окрестностях Нью Йорка до 1979 года.

The aristocratic forebears of the family originally came from Chernigov Ukraine, in the 13th century. That’s 92 miles north of Kyiv. #UkrainianBlood “The Principality of Chernigov was one of the largest and most powerful states within Kievan Rus'…the second most powerful after Kiev. The principality was formed in the 10th century…” When Moskal was a swamp.

a new experience.

Good

Life is but a dream! How is your dream dear darlings? Don't awaken until it has made you smile. I love you all from this side of my dream, and I wish you all the best. ❤❤❤

The oldies are the besties.

Soniya was almost as crazy as Zelda Fitzgerald.

new experience.

She died in 1979.

Tolstoy was a towering genius,but I feel a greater affinity with Dostoyevsky. Tolstoy is my great friend,but Dostoyevsky is me.

In the U.K. large ears are a sign of intelligence....(!)

Maybe Leo's wife was depressed from HER SIXTEEN PREGNANCIES three miscarriages and other dead children. EGADS. 😮 What a life

22:10

Ran away in the winter when he was 82, in the cold and died from pneumonia. Should he have left decades sooner?

Where are TOLSTOYS DESCENDANTS now?

You just jealous ejrjiejejje
