The Uralsk Turn. Leo Tolstoy. Reflections on history
Immediately after traveling to Uralsk Pushkin had his Boldin Autumn, Tolstoy - Yasnaya Polyana, which was also a fruitful period. He devoted almost ten years to writing a book, which would become an immortal classic. In 1869, the novel «War and Peace» was finished. A random visit resulted in non-random consequences. Count Tolstoy as a mirror of Asian liberty. Not that Leo Nikolayevich dedicated most of his literary legacy to the steppes or to Asia. However, Asia did leave a trace in the works of the classical writer. In Kustanai suburbs, there are typical panels, shops and a sports club, which are a standard bedroom set. Any city of Kazakhstan has these facilities. A street sign fits the scheme too. Really, why not to immortalize the name of the author of Svejk? However, this onomastic story does not appear simple. It did not start here, but went down in the world history. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQX2ttkxtYk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLAVJL5WCGA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0MfMmbzaj2s http://kazakh-tv.kz/en/programms/viewArchive?id=17464
