Leo Tolstoy, one of the greatest literary minds in history, is often associated with other prominent figures of his time. Chekhov with Tolstoy - two literary giants whose works continue to captivate readers worldwide. Their intellectual conversations must have been a sight to behold. Another notable connection in Tolstoy's life was his friendship with Ilya Repin, a renowned Russian painter. Repin immortalized Tolstoy through his brush strokes, capturing the essence of this enigmatic thinker on canvas. A photograph riding to his bath showcases a different side of him - an ordinary man enjoying simple pleasures amidst the grandeur that surrounded him. This picturesque image only adds to the mystique surrounding Russia's Dead Thinker. The death of Leo Tolstoi at Astapowo station marked the end of an era. The small railway station witnessed the passing of a literary legend as dawn broke on that fateful day in the 20th century. A color lithograph captures this poignant moment forever etched in history. Various portraits and photographs provide glimpses into different stages of Tolstoi's life. From Moscow in 1851 and 1862 to an oil painting capturing his essence, these images allow us to see beyond his written words and delve into the depths of his soul. One particular photograph shows L. N. Tolstoi alongside writers-contributors from "Sovremennik" magazine, offering insight into his collaborations and connections within Russia's vibrant literary community during that time.
