This rare historical footage, captured during the last year of Lev Tolstoy’s life, is from the Russian State Archives. It includes his deathbed scene (at the Astapovo station master’s home), the return of his body to his estate (at Yasnaya Polyana) and his burial.

I want to know if you are prepared to live in the world with its harsh need to change you. If you can look back with firm eyes saying this is where I stand.
