The war divided his life into before and after: Boris Kipnis about Leo Tolstoytranslated

An officer, a landowner, a father of many children, the author of the epic “War and Peace” and a man who really knew how to influence the minds of his time. How was Leo Tolstoy's character formed? What did he encounter in the war and how did it affect the main tragedy of his life?

This educational program is a balanced and frank conversation about the not-so-popular facts of Lev Nikolayevich’s biography with Boris Kipnis, a major military historian, professor at the State University of Land Management, and public figure.
