is the hundredth anniversary of player tolstoy's death and to mark that out of our story i'm talking to one of his biographers a wilson he wanted award in one thousand nine hundred eight for a biography of tolstoy and wilson thank you very much for talking to r.t. now first as a biographer what attracted you to tolstoy he was a giant he was the great giant of the novelistic form great even the story of. two great drives so that's what attracted me to him and the. really become a serious reason remote it was his novels were regarded as the greatest told stories books i'm thinking specifically of war and peace consistently tops these lists of the best book ever do you agree with those kinds of rankings. you can't really compare war and peace with any other novel he himself said it wasn't

a novel and it isn't really a novel it's a book about everything it focuses yes on the is you know five campaign culminating in the battle of our salutes and then the invasion of eight hundred twelve but the further it is on you realize that it's a novel about the whole of russia and also it's a novel about personal regeneration tolstoy with as much effort lost the fact as right what do you thinking come to say is his philosophy in life and i answer it in two ways if you think of that really quite early work of his cousin aki the cossacks there's a moment in that when a leader in who's been hunting. for the deer and there's all covered in that is beautifully described fantastic scene and he's all alone he doesn't quite know where he is in the caucasus covered in that it's very hot very sweaty and he suddenly gets down in the hole. where the itself has been lying and he has this

strange feeling of life. reason. with which he's trying next to. he's not sure whether that's the future life whether the life after death but the significance of life itself for each one of those mosquitoes are biting him just as for him just as for the. warriors and justice of the muslims they're supposed to fighting there's an extraordinary significance in every single life and he has all his thoughts about being an heiress to trapped being a member of society in wall street they mean nothing to him what matters is this feeling of the sacredness almost the holiness of life and the importance of trying to live for other people now that's a very very early story and then when you get to the end of tolstoy's life and career the thousands of people who are following his coffin when he died and will no doubt get on to this. they weren't following him because he was

a great novelist they were following him because he had taught not only russia over the world how it ought to live how we should be less selfish how we shouldn't be wrecking the planet we shouldn't be fighting wars. so this early story in which anyone has a sense of the goodness of life the significance of life and how we should live more simply and more response to nature and to our conscience that really runs through the whole of his life and he essentially underwent this transformation didn't he from high society author to spiritual on a case. well what i was trying to say by mentioning because archy is that it's always there from the beginning actually this feeling that we are called to a deeper truer life away from the absurdity of society and so forth the tolstoy family were very grand i mean some of them were advisers to the emperor the family . on whom old prince but more pieces but it's his maternal grandfather was also

very grand military and political figure tolstoy himself lived almost entirely in the country at his estate and yes my apology on the he never really. played a big part in the political life unlike his cousins caught in petersburg or in moscow but you're right to say there was this huge crisis in the middle of his life when he'd finished and i trained you know which was a fantastic success as was war and peace and i made him very very rich which he hadn't been before he'd been land it and it had peasants and it had a states but he wasn't very rich he then became a multimillionaire as we would say. and he had a crisis what's the point of it all there's a moment in his autobiography where he said he couldn't even be in a room in the room with a piece of rope feel he would want to hang himself he then thought the way to live for is to try to be like a peasant and for a few years he pretended that he by the way set up schools not only on his

interstates but the vast acres and miles around us and i probably on the starting education he was the great pioneer of russian education and even now they sometimes in some russian schools use his a.b.c. to teach people to read. so it wasn't just sort of pious try dreaming but having pretended to be a peasant he then went back to being the reasonable man he was and he thought what is due to christianity and the church it's teaching ethics how to live. the miraculous stuff for leicester and it was out of that was he involved his call for last year's life which as you say is that he felt that. all governments not just the governments of the stars though they were particularly evil and besides all governments are based on violence and the only way that we as individuals and we are societies can get away from

a system of the military of war solving problems of torture is in ourselves to forswear violence but also to forswear the idea of authority so he was an extremely subversive figure and an extremely conflicted person if i'm not mistaken here there's an anecdote that i remember hearing about about tolstoy that he was walking along the road one day and he came across a gang of rock breakers you know people who break rocks with other rocks and he thought to himself. how much he enjoyed them because as poor working people they were so much closer to god than he was and you can imagine this rock breaking hearing this story and thing here you have no idea of the privations and hardships of my life exactly and there was a great deal of on realism about him which was why his wife for example fantom so maddening in the second half of his life and you know for example in part of the great creed he built up apart from being a vegetarian a pacifist and so forth was the sex itself was evil. well he was an

extremely highly sexed man and even when these tracts calling upon the world to force sex were coming out his wife was having her tenth or eleventh child and so forth making her look absolutely ridiculous of course as well as making him look ridiculous. and did his contemporaries frequently see him as ridiculous well he. ridiculous isn't really a word one uses of these great giants and where one. dismaying feature of him is that he didn't have a sense of humor certainly not about himself but i think over the six question he did make himself ridiculous yet also i was a deeply religious man but he did get into quite serious conflict with the orthodox chat well he was religious in this way that you get in the novels i think if you think of pierre or prince andrew in peace if you think of given in. their worldly young man. soldiers or landowners and people very much like himself

arest attracts with women trouble and all that and then they reach a crisis in their lives and they turn to what's all about to member prince andrew thinking he's dying. and then what it's all about is this great stride he can sort of. you can identify with the mystery of nature tolstoy was full of that to the end of his days where he parted company with the church was over the claim that for example the miracles were literally true or that the church had the right to dictate to men and women what they believed in what they thought and how they should behave and so he fell out with the church in a very very big way and they eventually after he wrote the novel called resurrection which has a lot of the literature of the orthodox church in it the extreme indicated him didn't make any difference to him to say hadn't been doing to communion anyway but he was extremely creative it meant he couldn't have

a church funeral. which was quite a big deal in its days it was a big deal for his wife who was who was unorthodox it wasn't for him he'd never wanted to be buried in church ground anyway he was buried in the place the states where his brother thought he'd buried this green stick when they were playing at. a game in childhood on the green stick was written the secret of how we should live the super's of human happiness so it's very appropriate he should be buried there we are celebrating the hundredth anniversary of tolstoy is that what celebrate wells to celebrate is the greatest novelist who has ever lived but also this man who was guided with a passion for the truth and he alone stood up against this extremely powerful regime. and told the truth in a world of lies and this was a fantastic example for russia because in all the terrible years which followed his death he died in one thousand. the civil wars the first of all the civil war the

revolutions and so forth the tradition of tolstoy lived on and it enabled the dissidents when they courageously began to emerge in sternness times to look at his example and see that it only did one voice telling the truth look at a matter of i look at social needs and they would guided by the influence of tolstoy and that's really what we have to celebrate. and you said that he was in essence and if you told so he'd be alive today what you think he would be doing. he wouldn't be very surprised that for example the americans just as the russians did before were trying to defeat the afghans nobody's ever defeated the afghans so he behalf amused by that he wouldn't be very surprised that the bag because of the world. have made a complete mess of things so what we call civilisation was collapsing tools of the banks and he would be saying just what he was saying in one thousand and. try to

you know everybody. everybody makes mistakes everybody makes great play some you know and i mean it's that's that's the joy of basketball that's that's why you play the game nothing serious for them but this huge one for us and i believe we won this game because they played two days before there's one more important game in the symbol of himself it's still something that's exactly where they lost a lot of honors meanwhile cisco now focusing on the you were lee was then there's game coming on wednesday in milan in defeat there would be perhaps even more damage and but you missed our team. this ball as. well. covering the latest in science and technology from around russia.
