Tolstoy threshold of his eightieth birthday immortal reformer
Tolstoy, famed Russian writer and philosopher, begins a new era at eighty as he challenges czarist oppression and calls for humane love among all people. The article traces his life from birth in 1828 at Yasnaya Polyana, through war service, literary triumphs, and a radical turn to pacifism, communal land ideas, and critique of state and church. It notes his austere lifestyle, battlefield fame, and influence on socialist thought, including his opposition to killing and property accumulation, and speculates on the impact of American millionaires and moral awakening on property redistribution.
