Tolstoy Biography (1970)

[@katushawatkins1922]

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

[@thereforez5863]

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

[@perlefisker]

Exactly my words.

[@nathanedwards4388]

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.

YES - I did have to look up " perspicacious " And I'm Glad About It - For The Rest Of My Life I'll Know ...

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

I feel Alexandra was very blessed, full of peace.

[@doreekaplan2589]

"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.

[@christophervanasse9911]

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

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 🦴 🙏

Extremely precious film.

Wonderful. 👌💕

[@markhemming318]

Her refusal to allow rejection become a source of resentment is testament to a selfless soul. How easy it can feel to victamize oneself and become stifled by the suffocating effect of self - pity.

I will mourn for such a man. ❤❤❤

She is so open with her fragility! Inferiority complex can hunt someone to the end, and all comes from childhood! She was such a beautiful girl! Now she has a very clear mind, very intelligent ❤

[@grahammurphy1178]

I have no idea. I don't know of any other writers with the last name Tolstoy. I'm sure they must be many from his family who are still alive though. I love his later works and spiritual writings. Have you read The wisdom of humankind? It's the best. Which country are you in?

Are you related to him?

[@helenwheels3341]

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

[@kreek22]

No, she was obsessed with retaining her marital estate against Tolstoy's threats to donate it to the peasants. Her children she loved.

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.

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