Count Tolstoy's Estate: Yasnaya Polyana

14/7/2016

0 Comments

 
I've devoted several entries to locales associated with Russian literature (links below), such as the Crime and Punishment Tour, and here's another.  About two hours south of Moscow is the main residence of Lev Nikolaevich Tolstoy. In many ways, the property of his life, particularly his post-"conversion"/proto-hippy later years. These pics were taken during a 2001 summer program at Moscow State University.
I mentioned the Yasnaya Polyana estate & Tolstoy's great-granddaughter in this post from last July. It's about a 36-hour online reading of Anna Karenina, with participants from Russia, the U.S., South Korea, and elsewhere, and a later Chekhov marathon. Look for an entry on one of Chekhov's residences next week.

Russian lit entries:
Crime & Punishment at 150 - this year's anniversary
The St. Petersburg Crime & Punishment Tour - see the murderer Raskolnikov's garret.

Other entries on Russia:
Church of the Intercession on the Nerl - a picturesque location used in a film.
Red October Candy Factory - things have changed a lot since 2001.
