- Leo N. Tolstoy, born on September 9th, 1828 in Yasnaja Polyana near Tula, died on vember 20th, 1910 in Astapowo, today part of the Lipetsk Oblast, came from a Russian noble family. When he was orphaned at the age of nine, his father s sister took over as guardian. In 1844 he began studying oriental languages ??at the University of Kazan. After moving to law school, he dropped out in 1847 to try to improve the situation of the 350 inherited serfs in the family estate in Yasnaya Polyana with land reforms. From 1851 he experienced the fighting in the Caucasus in the tsarist army and, after the outbreak of the Crimean War in 1854, the trench warfare in the besieged fortress of Sevastopol. The reports from this war (1855 Sevastopol Tales) made him known as a writer early on. Out of pedagogical interest, he traveled to Western European countries in 1857 and 1860/61 and met artists and teachers there. After his return, he intensified the educational reform efforts and set up village schools based on the Rousseau model. From 1855 he lived alternately on the Yasnaya Polyana estate in Moscow and in Saint Petersburg. In 1862 he married the 18-year-old German-born Sofja Andrejewna Behrs, with whom he had 13 children. In the years that followed his marriage, he wrote the monumental novels War and Peace and Anna Karenina, which established Tolstoy s literary world fame. Tolstoy s lifelong search for the right way of life culminated in his leaving his wife in 1910 because she was unwilling to part with their shared possessions. He died shortly afterwards of pneumonia.
