ALEKSEY IVANOVICH SAVELIEV. Astapovo Train Station, On the Right is the House in Which Lev Nikolayevich (Tolstoy) Died

Astapovo Train Station, On the Right is the House in Which Lev Nikolayevich (Tolstoy) Died. Artist: Aleksey Ivanovich Saveliev (Russian, 1883-1923). Dimensions: Image: 8.9 x 13.3 cm (3 1/2 x 5 1/4 in.). Date: 1910.
These six photo-postcards show various places and moments surrounding the death and burial of Leo Tolstoy. In November 1910 the eighty-two-year-old novelist walked away from his great wealth to devote himself to Christian charity and died in a stationmaster's house after falling ill on a train. Tolstoy's death was of tremendous national importance, and how he was to be mourned-whether to kneel or stand at the grave, for instance-signified a contrast between old and new that would be decided during the Russian Revolution seven years later.
