Leo Nikolayevich Tolstoy was an outstanding writer andthinker. His work marked a new stage in Russian literature. To this day, many of his enlightenment and religious ideas are considered authoritative and the only correct ones. Such popularity could not but lead Tolstoy to world recognition.
In addition to the fact that there is athe village of Leo Tolstoy, and not one, there are also the same schools, clubs, libraries and, of course, museums. The main attraction, which reminds us of the greatness of this writer, is in Yasnaya Polyana. The museum was designed in the former estate of Lev Nikolaevich.
Moscow also houses the Tolstoy Memorial Museum, in its former manor-house. Also there is another memorable place at the former station Apostolovo (now Leo Tolstoy). It was in him that the writer died.
As mentioned earlier, there is a village of LeoTolstoy. The most popular one is in the Lipetsk region, there are also in the Kaluga and Grozny regions. Of course, these are not the only mentions of the writer's name.
The village of Leo Tolstoy is located in Lev Tolstoydistrict of the Lipetsk region. This district borders on the Ryazan region. During its formation this region had a different name - Astapovsky. It was formed in 1928. For a long time the district was a part of different regions, in 1954 it became part of Lipetsk. In 10 years the Leo Tolstoy settlement was divided between two others: Dankovsky and Chaplyginsky. But two years later he regained his independence.
Почти всю свою жизнь Лев Николаевич прожил в Yasnaya Polyana. But he died not in his native village. So it happened that his death overtook the station's chief. The writer last saw exactly Ozolin's house. The village of Leo Tolstoy received this name 8 years after the death of the writer.
Already in 1918 in the house of the station's heada museum dedicated to Leo Nikolayevich was opened. After the Great Patriotic War, this memorial became a branch of the Moscow State Museum LN. Tolstoy. By the way, in 1927 the settlement became much larger and received the status of the city.
Its area is only 18 squarekilometers. Earlier, there was an increase in population, but now it is only a decrease. If you look at the photo of the village of Leo Tolstoy in the Lipetsk region, you can see quite a pretty place. Despite the fact that there are 9 more village councils in this area, the writer's population is the most populated - 8,457 inhabitants, although the smallest. The Tolstoy village council has only one settlement.
The village of Leo Tolstoy, whose photo is presented inarticle, also at the southern border has the same state farm settlement. It was organized in the Soviet years, and in 2000 it became the center of the October rural settlement.
В Самарской области также есть упоминание о great writer. In the regional center is the estate of Tolstoy, in which he lived in the summer of 1875. And in Alekseevsky district there is a tiny village bearing the name of a classic.
А вот в Чернском районе Тульской области о памяти the writer recalls even more places. Of course, here you can not find the village of Leo Tolstoy, as in the Suvorov district of the same region. But there is no less well-known family estate Nikolskoe-Vyazemskoye, which is located 100 km from Yasnaya Polyana, as well as Tolstovsky.
Immediately there is another tribal settlement Pokrovskoe.Here lived a great-uncle of the writer. Later, Tolstoy's sister settled here. By the way, it was not only Lev Nikolayevich who came to her, but also Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev. In the village Grinevka previously lived the son of the writer. Here is his former manor.
Leo Tolstoy is not the only village in Russia.The photo can be found and the village named after Leo Tolstoy. It is located in the Kaluga region. There is an administrative center in the Dzerzhinsky district. There are only 3 settlements.
This rural settlement is officially calledmunicipal formation. This status was received in 2004. The last few years there has been a decrease in the population, but since 2016 positive trends have been observed. Now there are 3894 people.
Perhaps this is the only settlement named inhonor of the writer, which at the moment looks poor and unhappy. The village of Leo Tolstoy is famous for its poultry farm and monastery. The latter really looks very beautiful and majestic. Perhaps this is the only place in the whole village where you can be spiritually filled and relax.
