Nikolskoe-Vyazemskoe and Leo Tolstoy

Nikolskoe-Vyazemskoe

Nikolskoe-Vyazemskoe was the homestead of Tolstoy family. Leo Tolstoy, world famous writer, often visited it and worked here. Specialists in literature say that Nikolskoe-Vyazemskoe became the prototype of Otradnoe homestead that was described by Leo Tolstoy in "War and Peace".

I had no opportunity to see it inside, but you probably be more lucky. In any case this place is the sample of traditional Russian homestead and here you can feel the atmosphere of past centuries.
